Just saw Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse
Another fantastic Spider-man movie!
Another fantastic Spider-man movie!
I know this is going against the grain here, but I felt it was way too bloated and referential. The cliffhanger was just insult to injury.
That said, the parts that were good, were fantastic, I just wish they weren't buried in quippy nonsense
Yeah I agree they sort of built a HUGE world with lots of story lines, but I have a feeling that combined with the next part it will be really awesome!
I hope so, I really enjoyed the first one, so sitting through 2h20m of setup just to not get an ending was a bit of a slap in the face. Especially since it was really just starting to get going
Quippy nonsense
Guardians of the Galaxy was the only film to popularise that, and to make it funny.
Every other Marvel film followed suit, and it just felt cheaper and cheaper everytime
Yup, I totally agree. I was really disappointed to see spiderverse follow suit with it
Technically and design wise I think it improves on the first in basically every way, it's difficult to compare the story though since the first was much more self contained (if such a thing is possible in a multiverse movie lol)
I havn't seen the first one in a while, but I left the theater last night feeling the same way I did after the first one, fantastic movie. I'd say theyre on par with eachother.
It’s good. It’s big and it’s fun. I personally like the first one more. The writing is so tight and inspiring it’d still be amazing even if it visually didn’t look half as good as it did
I loved it. No issues with the cliffhanger or it being a two-parter except for the wait time. Fantastic use of the medium fantastic story, great pacing etc.
The cliffhanger ending and that its a twoparter were deeply unsatisfying to me
but otherwise agreed
Yeah that kind of came out of nowhere since they never marketed like that. But after sitting there for what felt like the full 2 hours and they're opening new plot points I kind of figured it was heading towards a cliffhanger. Not too mad though, it's well written enough that I'm glad they're talking their time instead of trying to cut it into one movie.
I feel like I figured by the time they made it to the future world that Miguel was from that they were not going to resolve the Spot plotline, so I was fine with a cliff hanger.
Some of the stylistic art choices were breathtaking. Truly one of the most visually stunning animated films to come out in my lifetime. I really appreciate that they aren't afraid to experiment with pretty unique plot directions (being intentionally vague to avoid spoilers since the movie is still new). Also, I noticed that the soundtrack was full of some fun tracks that really differentiate it from a typical superhero film. It made me realize how bored I've gotten by the typical fare we get from a superhero movie. I enjoy most Marvel movies enough, but this movie wasn't afraid to go to new places and break new ground. And I suppose to be fair, that's the upside to animation over live action. All these thoughts could probably apply to the first Spiderverse movie too, but this movie felt like it took it all a step further in a good way.
Can't wait to watch it next week. Just saw apparently the 3rd one is coming out in less than a year which is crazy since we waited like 5 for this sequel.
I would pay to see a re-imagined Kill Bill with new artistic choices. (Tbf, I paid to see the first Kill Bill trilogy, so my point makes no sense)
I don't think the original was planned to have a sequel? Just prepare for this one very much being the setup for a next movie. It was really good though!
I just watched the original for the first time after seeing the sequel a couple days ago. There is an end credit scene for the first movie that 100% sets up the sequel (spoiler: it shows Miguel and the computer chick setting up the first intentional interdimensional jump.)
The opening with Gwen was incredible. I have minor quibbles about where it ends as a Part One, but beyond that I really enjoyed it.
I took my daughters to go see it and we all loved it. I was a bit shocked that it's a two-parter but at the same time I'm glad they went that route. So far the Spider-Verse movies are my favorite Spider-Man movies.
Like that there was a bit of a cliff hanger. Its like Empire Strikes back or Avengers: Infinity War
If its as good as the first one I'm gonna love it but i'll wait for it to come to streaming not a movie goer myself
