Movies: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

[Leaf Rocket]

It was so damn good

Very good.

Only complaints: it dragged a bit (but then, it's half a 5 hour movie), and I wish we had seen more of the Spider Society before the reveal

 

[Dubi Doo]

Awesome movie, but I felt like I was having sensory overload by the end, haha. It was a long ass movie (one of my only complaints), and my brain was fogged once it finished. I wish there was a bit more with the ending as well, but I understand why they ended it the way they did.

TIL that the Lego sequence in the movie was animated by a 14 year old. Mind. Blown.

Does no one else think it was absurd how long they stretched that ending out???

That entire sequence after Miles escapes could have been like 5-8 minutes instead of 25. It was obviously heading for some kind of cliffhanger the entire time.

No? It was emotional set up for the circumstances of the start of the third movie along with payoff for Gwen's arc. If anything I'd argue that they didn't balance Gwen's arc against Miles' through the middle of the film and the fact that Gwen had an arc didn't really come to the forefront until her resolution with her father. But I think for what they had to set up it was good they took their time with it.

No.

Great movie...didn't hit the emotional highs of the first for me with the whole pretty much suicidal Peter Parker but I can't really rate it below either.

This pretty much the definitive version or Miles.

I know I'm probably in a fringe minority here and it will obviously happen but am I the only one that hopes Miles and Gwen don't get together? It was just bad in the comics.

Depends how they do it, no? I don't mind either way but I can't say it would bother me.

Yeah that was a bummer to find out..I'm okay waiting longer for the third installment if they treat their artists better.

Animators in Asia are also being overworked being asked to produce some insane quality of animation while having to respect ridiculous deadlines. It's the same thing in the video game industry with employees being asked to crunch for the games to be ready on time.

any word on when this is streaming in Canada?

I'm way late here but just saw this last night and what a fantastic movie. This and the first one are better than anything Marvel has made for me.

I saw this on a flight yesterday.

I’ve watched everything in the MCU (movies and shows), all previous Spider-Man installments, almost all of the X-Men movies.

I don’t say this lightly, but this might actually be the best superhero movie ever. Like ever.

As stated upthread, it’s a special movie. So much of it transcends the usual quality of writing and animation for any movie, let alone the hero genre. Throw in a great soundtrack, great casting/voice acting. It hits really hard for both teen and adult audiences (watching is as a current parent of teens… man, it hits hard).

This is a 10/10 and a better movie than anything in the MCU including Infinity War. I’d take it over The Dark Knight. Shocked that there are only 2 pages of comments on it.

It’s because even the trolls liked it. Star Wars threads get 100 pages because there’s so much controversy

Saw it today finally as well and wow did I enjoy it. I forgot how cool I thought the first one was and this was an amazing sequel to follow. Absolutely loved all the MCU easter eggs and nods to previous Spider-man movies.

I liked it.

Maybe not as much as the initial offering but that’s because it was so innovative.

Still a lot of fun.
