Saw the movie today. Went in completely blind, not even realizing it was a two parter. The animation style is stunningly gorgeous and unique. Just by aesthetics alone, it was a complete joy to watch. The use of colour was fantastic, including being a perhaps subtle hint that Miles wasn’t in his own universe.
The plot was fantastic. Full of the usual Spider-man quips that make his movies fun, yet also extremely touching (Gwen’s moments with her dad in particular). I wasn’t sure how they’d top the team of Spider-people from the first movie, but somehow they did it (with a whole freaking tower full of Spider-people).
The music was also fantastic. I’m gonna lookup a playlist for work tomorrow because there was a lot of bangers that were unfamiliar to me.
My only complaint is the lack of closure due to the “to be continued” ending. The chemistry between Miles and Gwen is great and has me excited for the sequel.
Honourable mention to the daughter of Peter B – she’s adorable.
My 12 year old saw the first one a few years back in class (I wish my teachers were this cool. I only watch countless hours of Mr. Bean) and he absolutely loved it. I never got around to watch it until a few days ago.
The story line was solid and the movie was quite good. I watch a lot of sci-fi, so the whole parallel universe/multiverse concept wasn’t news to me. But the to Marvel crowd, this was something new (I think, correct me if I’m wrong) and seeing this with a bunch of Spider-persons was truly refreshing.
I can’t wait to bring my kids to the Across the Spiderverse next weekend.
