[@GinNBoost]

Yeah Chris is kinda off base with that criticism. The plot is driven by Miles’ love of his mom…and especially his dad.

[@ramens]

With such a pivotal plot point later in the movie being about his dad (no spoilers), it REALLY made sense as to why there was such a subtle focus on Miles’ parents through the movie.

[@KillBill808]

Exactly, if that wasn't there reviewers would still nitpick on it by having payoff that doesn't feel deserved. Also the groundedness is the key to Spider-Man, if not this whole multiverse thing falls flat.

same, that scene when miles is talking to his mom on the roof and she says that nobody is gonna be able to take care of her little boy like her is perfect imo. also the crux of the movie falls apart without the family scenes

[@DisgruntledDoomer]

Yeah, if anything drags in the movie, I'd say it's the tail end. There's a lot of action scenes, which seem a bit repetitive, and you start to get the feeling, that the movie can't even finish its story in time. (And, it doesn't, since it ends in a cliffhanger.)

I think the family drama was needed. As I was watching the drama, you could see the strain keep increasing as well as the dread that something is going to happen to his dad. They are setting it up. They are highlighting it. In doing so, you can see just how hard Miles tries to not let his parents down and failing and how his parents know something is wrong but not sure how to approach it, putting strain on their relationship, but can see how much they mean to each other, not letting that tension break them apart. Knowing how much they love Miles, if something were to happen to his dad, you know that everything that happened before would truly hurt miles, because that strain was never resolved.

[@jcola2296]

Idk, I'm so tired of the overused plot point where spiderman loses a loved one, its happened like 10 times now, including with Miles. The fact that the whole plot of the movie thats moving the character forward is surrounding Miles' father possibly dying is so frustrating and boring to me. Combine this with Miguel just being a really poorly developed character made this movie a pretty large disappointment, besides the visuals which were once again breathtaking.

[@sonicsnake44]

Well said.

[@kal973]

Maybe its overused, but this movie actually gives it a new spin by giving miles the knowledge that the tragedy happens, all spiderman faces loss, but what if they knew that loss was coming, they can stop it, but at a risk? Will they try to stop it or not? What choice makes you spiderman? At least that's what I got from it

The execution of the sequence where Miles realizes that he is not in his universe and Gwen telling Mile’s parents that Miles loves them more than they could ever know was outstanding. I loved that the writers focused on delivering a story that felt grounded in how being Spiderman puts a strain on family and relationships. That entire sequence where Miles is at his most vulnerable moment and is finally willing to be completely honest with his mom only for his mom to not be “his” mom was so tragic and compelling.

You said it so well. Miguel is not a villain, but the way his motives clash with those of Miles is just so well written imo. Both try to save what is dear to them and both are willing to go far to protect those they care about, as a "Spiderman" would. Can't wait for the big finale with all this tension, haha.

Hayao Miyazaki once said "If you animate the ordinary, it will be extraordinary".

Spiderverse really nails the feel of natural movements. And then when they animate action scenes i just bust 🤯

Love the way you speak about knowing how movies are made, and how that can dampen a lot of new movies. I took an entry level 3D animation course a while back, and there comes a point very early on where enough of the proverbial dots present themselves that the whole process sort of clicks. You don't know exactly how to do it, but you can understand how they get from a simple grey cube to a photorealistic double of Tom Holland leaping over buildings. Y'know? But watching these movies, and basically any animated movie that took inspiration from Into The Spider-Verse, those dots aren't there anymore. I'm looking at this movie, and I can't wrap my head around how they got from a grey cube to this movie. And that's so awesome to me. There's like an entire second experience I get to have with this movie where I'm not even paying attention to the story or the dialogue, and I'm just in awe of how the fuck they managed to make Gwen look like she's a 3D water colour painting in a world where everything else is made up of halftone dots.

Also, it helps ground Miles character with, as you said it, more relatable scenarios. Having seen Across the Spiderverse, the previous felt like a the tip of the iceberg. By the end of the second, I feel like they've revealed their cards, but before watching Across, I thought I knew what I was getting into, but found so much more. I'm eagerly awaiting Beyond the Spiderverse to see where they take these characters and how things will get resolved or if at all. That not knowing is exciting, and I think that's what I found brilliant so far.

I've never been this nervous going into the cinema, cause the first one for me is the best comic book movie of all time. Its absolutely masterpiece, naturally i'm rooting for this movie to succeed it, i have so high expectation, while really hope crossing my finger they won't fuck it up. Oh my what a beautiful full of heart film, what a stunning storytelling, All the time me sitting in awe, all the surprises are phenomenal. And truly even when you have anticipated the twist and the cliffhanger, i truly want more i can easily sit 3.5 hours if they want me to. These Spiderverse movies are really setting the standard for superhero movies. Long gone are the days when superhero had tobe dark and edgy to be seen as masterpiece. What a time to be alive ⭐9.5/10

It is a genuine triumph of animation. It felt overwhelming at times, and that was honestly part of the fun. The film score and song choices were solid.

I did watch it tonight in my local theater. I trully love everything of this masterpiece. His animation is perfect, there's emotions, the stakes are high and full of surprises I wasn't expecting. It was perfection for me. The best Spiderman film ever made since Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2. But there was a lot of teenagers who booed the cliffhanger of the movie. It is the first time I've ever experience such a worst reaction from an audience. It was disturbing.

[@mr.zooomy]

They went all in on this one. The animation, artstyle is just insanely good. 11/10 fr. Want to watch it again

[@prezlea07]

JUST FINISHED WATCHING IT AT IT IS A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FROM ME. I don’t agree with the stuff said about the family drama being too long, or the recaps being unnecessary. I feel like having his personal and family life in the foreground, with the spider man antics in the background was a nice change of pace that we haven’t seen before. And the transition between the slice of life to the Spider-Man adventures was perfection. Also, the recaps for miles morales were so brief that it wouldn’t slow down returning viewers, but it would catch up first-time watchers. The first movie I have ever ranked 10/10, will hopefully watch it again tomorrow for the official theatre release.

I expect the action to be incredible since Joaquim Dos Santos is one of the directors and he started on the Justice League animated show where he had the nickname "Mr. Fight" because he directed a bunch of the action scenes. He also worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra.

[@Isaac-ul8yz]

The first movie was such a treat, and I’m low key tearing up by how you are describing this movie. Spider verse came at a good time for my when it first released and I’m just excited to experience that world again

There's nothing more satisfying to hear than Across the Spider-verse living up to the extremely high expectations the 1st movie had set

[@whitemageFFXI]

Just the way you're describing this makes me emotional. I'm rarely shocked by how good a show or game is these days, but the first of these spiderman movies was one of those rare shows that shocked me by how good it is (the shows Chernobyl and Mad Max are among those that I love, if you care :P ) . I'm SO excited to hear that this one is good, too.

2:13 As a story teller, I can see twists and character beats from a mile away. But this, idk how they wrote EVERY character and relationship so well.

[@昌和森田]

There's a reason there's so much family drama. The theme of this movie is the intergenerational transmission of the fate of the past Spider-Man stories, and the aim is to change the fate of the story when a mistake occurs in the intergenerational transmission. In Spider-Man's story, a mistake occurs in the intergenerational transmission of the fate of someone close to you, resulting in the death of someone close to you, and the theme is rewritten, but this work deals with conflicts between parents and children and the miscommunication of messages. Miguel is the alter ego of Miles' father, as the film's theme is the intergenerational transmission of lives and stories between fathers and children. So when the spider was mistransmitted to a different world, Miles became Spider-Man. Also, the fact that the message on the cake changed due to an accident during delivery indicates a miscommunication of messages between parent and child.

I'm a person who watches movies with an eye for visuals above anything else, but the only competition this movie has is with itself.

Disagree on the family scenes early on, I loved that we got to see more of Miles parents especially his mum that was barely in the first movie, it adds a lot of emotional weight to Miles and the promise he made to his mum comes into play later. I do agree about going over backstorys a little too much though, I get the 'okay let's do this one last time' was kind of a joke in the first movie to introduce all the spider people but it wasn't really needed here especially for Miles and Gwen, but that really is my only minor nitpick. Overall it's instantly an amazing movie that's gotta be my favourite of the year so far, another Oscar well on its way I'm sure.

As much as I appreciate the artistry behind this movie I was surprised it didn't come with any health warnings. I'm prone to getting motion sickness from certain movies (shaky cam, jerky camera movements are the most common triggers) and had a piercing headache and very bad nausea by the end of it. (The first movie did not have the same effect.) So if anyone has a similar issue, they might want to consider skipping this or waiting for the streaming release.
