Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - Movie Review

It's true. I really liked Guardians 3, I'm really looking forward to this movie, and I'm even pretty excited for The Flash. I'm not sick of comic book movies, I'm just sick of the handfuls of mediocre films and shows we've been getting bombarded with lately. We can tell the difference between what was made with passion, and what was made to fill a slate.

the thing is, Empire feels like a complete film, this one (although I love tf out of it) doesn't. It's very clearly the first part of a 2-parter, which would be fine if it'd had a satisfying conclusion, IW is a good (kind of recent) example of a cliffhanger done right

Miles was destined to become the Prowler and the other Prowler Miles was destined to be Spider-Man. If you notice in the first movie when Peter saves Miles from the falling debris and dies from Kingpin there’s a moment where Miles and Peter use their Spider sense. The color behind Miles is purple, and the color behind Peter is red and blue like Spider-Man and in this moment we see Miles’s spider sense turn from purple into red and blue because Spider-Man has changed his destiny and inspired him to save people. This lead to his uncle dying so he never became the proper and his dad raising him so he became a good Spider-Man. This was supposed to happen to other dimension Miles but his Spider was sent to our Miles’s universe and they esssentially swapped destiny’s. The other Miles lost his father and was raised by the Prowler to become the Prowler since he never had a spider to protect the city, and our Miles became Spider-Man erroneously. It’s why Spider-Man 2099 called him “the original mistake.” When Miles destroyed the machine in part 1 and opened the multiverse he opened the road for others to mess with the multiverse and lead to the destruction of the 2099 universe and that Spider-Man’s family which lead him to create the Spider verse team

Hopefully this film will put Miles Morales' character in peoples hearts now they have developed him properly,fingers crossed the comics start to treat him with respect as well instead of bestowing him with every other marvel characters powers.

@@jforeror Miles was like a Marty McFly- teenager who likes to swing through the city. He travels through dimensions like Marty travel through time. Earth 42 at the end were very much like dark 1985. Spot was a bit Biff Tannen-y in that he started out as a loser, found out about the Spider-Verse and thought he could be even more.

I loved this film. Seen it twice now in 2 days, and it just got better the 2nd time around. The characters and Miles’ journey and emotional fight for himself. The entire last 10 mins(?) is masterfully done. The way the movie opens and ends… mastercraft in storytelling and so emotionally strong. I definitely want in for the next chapter.

[@Chatoyancify]

The first was my favorite film that year, but I find this one even more rewatchable. There's just so much to admire and to catch because I want to see where the animators were having their bit of fun on the side or in the background while the main characters were doing their thing, like those hyper-busy jigsaw puzzles where you miss many details until you get to work to put it all together piece by piece.

[@aserr5660]

For real. This movie was everything. I left the theater with goosebumps realizing I had a cinematic experience. This is from someone who doesn’t bother with comic book films. This film left an impression on me and can’t wait to see it’s finale.

Aside from whatever the hell is going on in the comics, it sounds like Spiderman fans are eating good this year. Across the Spiderverse is one of my most anticipated movies so I'm glad it's reviewing so well. Plus there's the new Spiderman game that drops this Fall and I'm beyond excited for that.

I haven’t yet watched any of the Spider-Man into the spider verse movies, but after listening to this review I must say I’m very very intrigued. You have sold me on it, Jeremy!

[@thedarknate08]

This is only the second movie

[@ArbitraryDevCC]

I was barely a year old when The Matrix dropped. I grew up only seeing it’s references, and hearing it in conversations, jokes, analyses, etc. I didn’t LIVE in the cultural/historical context that surrounded the release of that movie, but I feel like it’s something I’ve grown to reasonably understand after years of thinking about how people REACT to this movie. How it goes on, being relevant to film conversation to this day, ~25 years later. I only recently watched it for the first time, myself. On my TV on a day off, not in the theater. I may not have been able to have that 1999 experience, but I was able to picture myself in an old theater with a bunch of people seeing it’s climax for the first time and completely popping off. The VFX and stuff looks pretty dated nowadays, but for its time, it did its job and got some jaws dropped. People describe their first experience with the Matrix as being just that. “Jaw-dropping.” Amazing. Insane. Incredible. Left them speechless, contemplating the meaning of life and their place in it. On my couch watch-through, I was able to “get” why people felt this way, but I simply wasn’t there at the time, and wasn’t able to feel quite as captured as I would be in a present-day, my-own-life/era experience. I saw Into the Spider-Verse with low expectations. I wasn’t as invested in media as I am now, and I really only went by chance. Movies weren’t a big thing for me at the time. Even a Spider-Man movie, a character I’ve loved since before I could read, would have to catch me in the right time and mood for me to go to a theater on my own accord. I hadn’t even paid much attention to the trailers, I kinda just wandered in. When I walked out, I was hyped out of my mind. Damn near screaming out all of my favorite moments to my friends I walked out with, playing the songs back in my head, having every single Spider-Man memory I’ve ever had BEAM through my eyes and morph into a perfect representation of all the character has ever had to offer. I was happy, and every time I’ve watched that movie since has never failed to make me happier than before I press play. In contrast, ACROSS the Spider-Verse, left me completely speechless for about 45 minutes after it was finished. I walked home so overwhelmed with emotions I could barely focus my eyes. I had to just sit down and PROCESS, what the hell I had just seen, for an extra 30 minutes, before I could properly drive to my next stop for that day. I went to work the next day, feeling so inspired that I could barely keep still, I just wanted to rush my train home and practice drawing all day long. I’m 25 soon. This movie blew my mind all the way back to like age 7. The last time this superhero stuff actually felt like magic, like it was actually possible. If that isn’t a “The Matrix”-tier experience and then some, I don’t know what is. Within the next 20 years, a new generation of “Great” animators, writers, artists across all mediums and across all the world will be asked about their biggest inspirations, and they will point DIRECTLY to this movie, and it’s broader trilogy. I cannot wait to see, and be a part in the making of, a world of new creations directly inspired by Across the Spider-Verse, and the Spider-Verse movies as a whole. There is no better universe to be in than the one where these somehow manage to exist.

[@malareon]

This movie makes me so excited every time i see it in a way that no other movie has. I felt like a child watching something that would become a big part of my life for the rest of my life. Like the feeling when u first watched something as a kid and it gives you the best kind of nostalgia ever looking back at it like those were the good old days.

[@veronicamoravega7754]

Completely agree with your review! As a latina the family dynamics with Miles and his parents were so relatable and heartfelt 🥺❤️

[@jungleblazers1249]

Whatever the animators are getting paid for making this masterpiece, it's not enough. They really took the visuals to the next level, and they need to be making whatever the producers are making.

[@TheOtherMJ_76]

I just watched it this morning. 06/03/23, it was more than I expected. In my opinion it was better than the first film. Small Easter eggs that popped up. You get a lot of Gwen and it was done very well. Spot was a better villain than I expected, and was more menacing as the story progressed. Miquel O’Hara almost comes off as a villain here because he can be so aggressive. You see his point but man, he needs to learn to chill a little bit. This movie is excellent. I highly recommend it to all people. Whether you like animation, comics or not, this is great. 😁👍

[@Emet.V]

4:32 yes, I felt the same way. It was so good. Every one in the theater was like that too. People were like are they for real. We all wanted to see more. It was that good, it’s like empire strikes back or back to the future 2.

[@blackacezero7779]

The first seconds tells me all I needed to know. Going to be seeing it in 4DX!!! It's gonna be cool!!! I feel like this movie is going to be a testament to both sequels and the fact that it shows how to juggle multiple characters on-screen, but possibly also how to do it right. EDIT: FUCK!!! Heard his bit about the ending and I knew it was going to be one of those endings. Hands-down I'm believing this will be the most talked about movie for the rest of the month, the rest of the year, or heck the rest of the time until the 3rd film. It's giving me Infinity War vibes.

[@Kori-T]

I was SO excited watching this, I immediately want to watch it again! I’m 35 years old & this film was so enthralling it made me feel like a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons again.

[@benjaminjane93]

I really liked Miguel O'Hara in this. I think what they might be setting up with the sequel is a juxtaposition of his point of view vs Miles point of view. In this film we basically see Miguel as the bad guy, he is overly controlling, he has lost his way from his fanatical pursuit to keep the multiverse intact. And we get these teases of what might happen if a canon event does not happen as it is supposed to happen. And throughout the whole movie Miles is strongly pursuing that he will do what he feels right, and have it both ways, essentially he will try and bake two cakes so that he can have his and eat it too. (SPOILER) But I think now that he has landed in Earth-42 he will get a hard dose of reality, and see what happens first hand to worlds that leaps out of the canon. I think the next movie will go harder into seeing the potential consequences of Miles trying to force reality to his will. And I think by the end of the third movie he will have to let go. I think that might manifest in one of two ways: One is that he lets go of his father. The other is that he lets go of Gwen. I think there's a possibility that He will save his father and then basically "cut off" his earth from the web. What role will Miguel play? Well he will 100% gonna die redeeming himself. We will get a happy medium between the two ideologies, and he might sacrifice himself to bring that third vision to life. Possibly gifting this reality to Miles so that he can live being Spider-Man and have his father. And the cost will be every other Spider-person he has come to rely on. I'm just spitballing, but I think that's what they're building towards.

Maybe the first movie where I actually felt immersed in emotions. I always had a hard time with feeling abstract art, but this movie really makes you get it. The complexity overall, yet simplicity in the detail. The colors that directly effect how you feel at the moment and hit those parts of the lizard brain memories. It's really like a psychoactive drug in that sense. The artists and studio itself should be so proud of this masterful work of art on screen. I hope they take all of the awards home (sharing with Barbie and Oppenheimer, of course, lol).
