ikr. I'm trying to find reviews who have criticism of this movie, but despite very minor flaws it's an great movie.

[@pennhersh4276]

You’ll find some interesting ones on Letterboxed. People come up with the weirdest reasons to dislike the film.

[@nix4114]

I just think the relationship between Miles and his uncle wasn't developed enough, but that's pretty much my only flaw with it

[@qwerty842]

you could say kingpin was a poorly developed villain but considering how many characters and backstories they had to handle, I’d give ‘em a pass

[@FabriSlv]

BY FAR the best movie of 2018 and one of the greatest visuals and directing of all time, not to mention the best superhero movie of all time. The only thing that makes me sad about this movie is that I'll never be able to watch it for the first time again.

[@rafaelreyes8457]

ugh put the words in my mouth Im holding off on wacthing it a second time for this very reason

[@coyraig8332]

@@rafaelreyes8457 I saw it on either dvd or blue-ray (can't remember which) and one of the people who worked on it said they put so many Stan Lee easter eggs in it that they themselves didn't remember all of them

Shout out to Alberto Mielgo who created most of the art style and character design but was fired before they started production. 😐

[@dyetaa]

Oww, Alberto mielgo is cool, that's sad..

[@lag00n54]

Got fired Because Sony and him had some discrepancies in technical and style but other than that it was Sony's decision to fire him

Its not underrrated

It was popular enough back then, even in my place the studios which played this movie were always (almost) full

It's not underrated bruh

[@art_noodle1]

3:06 There's a poster of this scene. When I was studying the composition of it, all the buildings were hitting a focus point, and even the direction of Miles Morales were hitting it. That's true dedication on the movie

This movie is true art!

[@redbeard8532]

These guys should recreate other comics and characters into full fledge films. Internet push that.

Where is my Gwen Stacy solo film? or my Spider-Man Noir solo film? They can make 4-5 sequels because every character is dope.

[@rolfathan]

Right? Next time any comic franchise movie gets a "reboot" instead of doing new live action versions, how about we get this style instead?

[@IlSharmouta]

I'd watch an all black and white manga version of this

[@TheMrParagon]

I kinda want Sony to just make the MCAU Marvel Cinematic Animated Universe

[@bluthunder271]

My two favourite things that they incorporated into this film is the use of onomatopoeia to show sound as text and the hand drawn coloured frames like when Miles returns to the collider with his new suit,the frame transforms into a paintified frame

[@creationsmaxo]

This video explain something not many people understand or even knows about: movies are made in "packs" and not necessary in the same order as what's shown. I really loved when they explains that the beginning of the movie was produced last because the soundtrack wasn't done yet.

[@captc502]

as long as there's a storyboard!

I dont remember to enjoy any animation more than i enjoyed watching this movie. It was just perfect.

[@ericakrieger3106]

Incredible production, the 2D/3D blend and character stylization makes this by far my favorite movie as an animator

[@WhiteAce3]

Spiderverse was the first animation since long ago, that was really fun to watch. I litteraly fell in love with it while watching it and this was mainly because of the animation and on top of that the storyline was humorous and played with the audiences expectations. Just a perfect movie.

[@FR8MES]

Ohh man I wanted to see that 'bagel' hit. Such a great visual movie on all levels. Sure feels great to say I now have a favorite animated movie. Thank you to an extremely creative team.

[@blacksheep_77]

That's it...I also can now say I have a favorite animated movie...bar none. Genius film. I hope Sony finds their footing with this and tries another.

Across the Spiderverse literally outdid itself and was a better movie than the first one.This is definetly going to be the best trilogy once Beyond comes out

[@colin5763]

This was an awesome movie all round. The bold, fresh approach to mix flashbacks to the printed comic days, with the latest animation techniques turned out insanely good. Even for those non-animators like me, you could clearly see it was on another level of expertise. Just when you thought it impossible for a fresh take on a character spun so many times (pun intended), they released a movie masterpiece on many levels.
