“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” contains a vital element that has been missing from too many recent superhero movies: fun. This animated reworking of the Spidey mythos is fresh and exhilarating in a way that very few of its live-action counterparts — including the last couple of “Spider-Man” chapters — have been. Its jaunty, brightly colored inventiveness and its kid-in-the-candy-store appetite for pop culture ephemera give “Into the Spider-Verse” some of the kick of the first “Lego Movie.”
《蜘蛛俠:平行宇宙》包含一種不可或缺的要素,最近有太多超級英雄電影都缺了它:趣味。 這部蜘蛛俠的動畫改編版令人耳目一新又倍感興奮 ,這是它的同名真人實景電影未能做到的,該系列中最近的幾部作品也不例外。它具有輕松活潑,色彩明快的創(chuàng)新精神,對流行文化中曇花一現(xiàn)的事物有著熱切的渴望,仿佛置身糖果店的孩子一般。正因如此,《蜘蛛俠:平行宇宙》才有了第一部《樂高大電影》那樣的刺激。
And, as I was saying, a lot of fun. The story is clever and just complicated enough, moving quickly through silly bits, pausing for moments of heart-tugging sentiment, and losing itself in wild creative mischief. It is referential (and reverential) enough to Marvel traditions to please the geek armies, and perfectly accessible to new recruits or part-time warriors.
以及,如我剛才所說,非常有趣。故事情節(jié)巧妙又復雜得恰到好處,時而在傻氣的片段中快速推進,時而在揪心的感傷時刻停頓,時而沉浸在不按常理出牌的,創(chuàng)造性的搞怪中。它和漫威傳統(tǒng)風格建立的聯(lián)結(jié),以及對其展現(xiàn)的敬意,足以取悅死忠粉大軍。同時它對新入坑的觀眾和休閑影迷也足夠友好。
It finds realism, too. This may be the first “Spider-Man” feature to qualify as a great New York movie, drawn from the life of the city rather than outdated stereotypes. Streets and subways, apartments and schoolyards are beautifully and faithfully drawn, as are humans of all ages, shapes and hues. The people talk fast, the music is loud and sometimes hectic, and everyone is in motion all the time. Even the tourists from other universes are sorry to leave.
它又很真實。該作可能是“蜘蛛俠”正片中第一部算得上十足的紐約電影的。電影取材于城市的生活而不是過時的刻板印象。街道和地鐵,公寓和校園都刻畫得美觀而忠實,年齡、體型、膚色各不相同的人物也是如此。人們說話語速很快,音樂聲響亮,有時甚至緊張匆忙,每個人都在不停地移動。甚至來自其他宇宙的旅客都不舍得離開這里。
