I did not expect to, because I have not liked other recent comic book movies much, but I found it completely delightful in every aspect - storytelling, performance, visuals.
I sort of fell out of the live-action Marvel universe around the time of Captain America: Civil War (2016) and have returned only intermittently for certifiably good ideas like Black Panther (2018) and surprisingly strong diversions like Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), but Into the Spider-Verse gave me an absolutely satisfying comic-book movie without engaging with any of the ponderous mythos that now surrounds even the good entries in the MCU and I am honestly surprised there's going to be a Spider-Man movie that isn't about Miles Morales, because seriously. This one just works so well.
There is a song on the soundtrack with the refrain "I gotta elevate" but Ciro and I both hear this as "I got a elephant" which is an excellent brag we now use all the time.

That is an excellent brag.
