Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023

★★★★½

Watched Jun 03, 2023

Between this and the first film it seems the team behind these films has figured out how to make the perfect Spider-Man films. There is just such a strong understanding of the character shown in the first film and maybe showcased even stronger here. Again the animation and different styles are a visual treat that are unique yet familiar, allowing for so much personality and character to be infused to every scene. The performances are great, the story fantastic, and the soundtrack is killer. Is this better than the first? I'm not sure, it's certainly at the very least as great as the first though. There is so much going on with this, but I think they do a good job of not making things overwhelming. I could have done without the need to recap the first film multiple times but I think that's about the only complaint I've got. Love the choice for the ending, I didn't think they'd go for a cliffhanger but it's pretty cool that they did. Can't recommend this enough, the hype isn't just hype. Also Gwen may be my favorite character after these first two, this is shaping up to be an all timer of a trilogy.
