Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse swings into cinemas next month, but it's already being praised as the best comic book movie of 2018, and even "the best Spider-Man movie ever made" by those lucky enough to have seen it.
The Lego Movie duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are behind the entirely new take on the Spider-Man Universe, which is not connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The new film follows Miles Morales as he discovers the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the Spider-Man mask.

Fans will be introduced to a comic book multi-verse, which features different dimensions, each one with its own Spider-Man, including Miles, Spider-Gwen and an older version of Peter Parker.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will also star Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir and John Mulaney as Spider-Ham.
What to Read Next
It's been applauded online already, with one critic writing: "Spider-man: Into The Spider-Verse is not only the best animated feature and best comic book movie this year, but one of the best movies of 2018 period.
"I don't think another movie does a better job of bringing a comic book to life on the big screen."
"The social media embargo just dropped, so I can tell you that I LOVED Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," wrote another. "My favorite animated film of the year and one of my favorite movies of 2018, period. What a fun, beautiful ride it is."
A third shared: "Not only is SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE a great Spider-Man movie, but I think it's the BEST Spider-Man movie. A super inventive & visually stunning action-adventure about a kid learning to be a hero from a man who forgot how to be one. It is outstanding!"
And heads-up, it's so good, there's even some strong language below:
