There’s not a frame of this rich, kaleidoscopically detailed animation that isn’t dazzling.
A stirring follow-up that tops the formidable original, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse draws us deeper into Miles Morales’ saga while offering the same stunning animation, dazzling set pieces and irreverent humour.

Incredibly one of the best Spider-Man movies I've ever seen! The animation, voice acting and depth. I definitely believe this movie will win Best Animated Feature Film at the Oscars, much like it's predecessor.

I was shocked at how much this film leveled up over the first entry in the visual splendor. I would have done the ending differently, but dang it was so good I feel like I'm nitpicking.

And if all of this sounds like a tremendous amount to pack into a single film, there’s the rub. In a somewhat disappointing twist, “Across the Spider-Verse” isn’t really a single film, it’s instead one-half of a planned two-film sequel.
Led by directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, the animators lend clarity and excitement to the action, humanity to the characterizations, and—above all—a distinct vision for each of the worlds we visit.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse travels worlds to upend its own status quo, spinning a truly unique and sometimes devastating narrative that finally matches its visual ambitions.
It’s just this impressive amalgamation of realism and stylization that allows “Across the Spider-Verse” to transcend its narrative shortcomings: Even at its most obscure or muddled, it’s never less than a pleasure to watch.
A mad cinematic jumble of comic book imagery, comic book mimicry, multiverse plotting and ponderous, pandering fan service.
"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is a triumph in both storytelling and animation, weaving a multiverse-spanning tale that captures the essence of the Spider-Man mythos while pushing the boundaries of visual creativity. This animated masterpiece, a sequel to the acclaimed "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," is a kaleidoscope of artistry and innovation that further cements its place as one of the most remarkable superhero films of all time.
The film's narrative brilliance lies in its ability to seamlessly meld heart-pounding action, emotional depth, and comic book sensibilities. The introduction of a multidimensional narrative opens up endless possibilities, allowing different iterations of Spider-People to coexist while deepening our understanding of their struggles and aspirations. This exploration of diverse characters adds layers of complexity to the Spider-Man legacy and resonates with audiences on a profound level.
Visually, "Across the Spider-Verse" is a tour de force. The animation style remains distinct and groundbreaking, seamlessly blending 2D and 3D techniques to create a living comic book on screen. Each frame bursts with vibrant colors, dynamic movement, and innovative visual storytelling, evoking the feeling of flipping through the pages of a comic while immersing audiences in a fully realized cinematic experience.
Beyond its technical prowess, the film excels in character development and emotional resonance. Miles Morales, the heart of the story, continues to shine as a relatable and inspiring Spider-Man. His journey of self-discovery, growth, and the challenges of embracing his role as a hero form the emotional core of the narrative. The relationship between Miles and his mentor, Peter B. Parker, further explores themes of legacy, responsibility, and the enduring spirit of heroism.
The introduction of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Woman, adds depth to the narrative by exploring her universe and experiences. The interactions between the various Spider-People, each with their unique quirks and backgrounds, create a rich tapestry of camaraderie and teamwork that underscores the essence of the Spider-Man ethos – anyone can wear the mask.
While celebrating the film's strengths, it's worth noting that its fast-paced narrative and multiverse complexities might occasionally pose challenges for viewers unfamiliar with Spider-Man lore. However, the film's sheer entertainment value and emotional resonance are universally relatable, making it an enjoyable experience even for newcomers to the Spider-Verse.
In conclusion, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is a cinematic gem that pushes the boundaries of storytelling, animation, and superhero narratives. Its multidimensional approach to the Spider-Man mythos is a triumph of creativity and inclusivity, showcasing the potential of the superhero genre to evolve while staying true to its core themes. As it propels audiences across universes, emotions, and spectrums of imagination, the film solidifies its place as an unforgettable contribution to both cinematic artistry and the beloved legacy of Spider-Man.

Don't think I've seen a cliff hanger as bad as this... if you want to see the conplete story you got to pay twice. Hardly into the spider verse more like dipping a toe in.
