Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse is One of the BEST Movies I've Ever Seen!

What did YOU think of Across the Spider-Verse?! 🕸️ One of the best ever? Comment Below💥

One of the best details in the film is that Miles wants to study physics and quantum mechanics because he wants the chance to see his spider friends again in another dimension. Just shows how alone Miles felt and how he needed Gwen and the other Spider people

Whoever in the animators' room decided to have the art style reflect the thoughts of Gwen and her dad during their conversations deserves a raise PRONTO!

I love that the reason Pavitr is so optimistic and happy seems to be because he hasn't had a true moment of suffering. So he's just this bright and happy, almost naive spirit, and of course he gets along with Hobie.

People bring up the cliffhanger like it's a bad thing but I haven't felt this giddy for a sequel since Infinity War. THIS is what cinema is all about. I have never been so excited for a movie as I have for Beyond the Spiderverse, and that's entirely because Across the Spiderverse pulls off the perfect cliffhanger.

I don't trust people who hate gwen after this movie. She is a 16/17 year old girl without a home and with a knowledge that her dad and her best friends dad has to die. It's normal that she doesn't tell Miles about it. The whole movie she is telling that the thing Miguel tells her to do doesn't fill right. At the end she trusts her gut and makes a "band" to save her best friend. She litterly felt he was in danger across the multiverse.

I like the fact that Miles is playing the role of KingPin this time around as his willing to potentially destroy his universe just for a chance to save his father.

The fact that they were able to write the real world criticism of Miles Morales as a “Spider-man” into a major plot point in the movie is nothing short of brilliant. That is absolutely mind blowing.

I actuallly teared up when Miles’s mother gave her speech on him being her little boy always. Absolutely brilliant writing.

I think the people that are complaining that it's only "half" a movie are seeing it incorrectly: Miles isn't the main character. Gwen is. She has a full arc. She starts by saying that she never wants a band again, but at the end; SHE'S the one to put the band back together to help Miles. I think Miles will still be the "main" character if Across and Beyond are taken as a single movie though.

Loved how Gwen’s story mirrored her father’s story. George Stacy was a cop who was trying to play by the book when it came to the legality of Spider-Woman. He turned his back on his own daughter because that’s what he was supposed to do. When Gwen felt abandoned and alone and was taken in by the Spider-Society, she gave all of herself to their cause and was playing by the book. She only wanted to go to other dimensions just to see Miles, similar to Miles only wanting to find out how to to other dimensions just to see Gwen and his friends. She felt alone and just wanted companionship. With the fear of going back home, Gwen dedicated herself to just sticking to the life that was written for her until she has the one moment of weakness where she gives into what she wants, kickstarting the whole plot. After that we see Gwen’s struggle between what she’s supposed to do and what she feels compelled to do, and by the end she comes out the other side realizing that sometimes you have to throw out the playbook and fight for what we truly want. And this development gets mirrored with George Stacy quitting his job as a cop because he values his daughter much more. Gwen’s story was such a great cautionary tale and parallel for Miles and just a great story overall. Loved how the film bookended with Gwen’s arc.

Did anyone else just burst into tears with Gwen's opening story...it was just so damn heartbreaking to see Gwen coming out to her father and her father by mistake rejecting her...the pain and heartbreak in Gwen in that scene was so sad and i did cry in that moment

"If the first movie concludes that anyone can wear the mask, then Across the Spider-verse seeks to interrogate that conclusion" what damn good line, your narration and script are phenomenal!

One detail I REALLY liked being a music fan is how they treated the relationship Miles and Hobies respective genres and characterizations of those genres. Hobie appears as this (literally otherworldly) spirit figure, the ghost of old fashioned punk, aiding and providing advice to this modern hip-hop inspired Miles. Kinda depicting the direct parallel between punk rock and hip-hop as rebellious movements. I feel that Gwen could be representing a kind of link between them since even though she’s a drummer in a punk band, the early roots of hip-hop happen to have a heavy emphasis on breakbeats and drum loops a lot like the one they used for her intro and outro moments. This is really such a beautiful movie and everyone needs to see it.

im really glad someone brought up the parental guidance Miguel tried to impart onto Miles before he went batshit. I mean the look of genuine sadness and empathy when saying "we all wish we had the life we wanted, believe me I've tried".

This analysis was perfect. One more thing you could have mentioned is the role of Peter B. Parker in the movie. He represents the "original" Spider-Man and he acts as a mirror character to Miguel, being the living proof that Spider-Man can live a happy life. This is something we're not at all used to see in Spider-Man movies, where Peter never truly grows to have a family on his own, and I think it's awesome that even here the movie chooses to "go its own way".

I loved Miguel as an amtagonist. Like, you know he is not evil, but that it's his ideology and own trauma making him too overbearing. You understand him and his anxieties even if you don't agree with what he is doing. He's an extremely compelling character because you know he does care. As you mentioned, despite what he says, he is indeed quite paternal which causes us to view him with more color than with just black and white. I also love how you mentioned that Miguel himself is an anomaly, too--even more so than Miles. I look forward to how the next movie tackles these themes and find resolutions.

For me this is a flawless film. People say that this is an incomplete story, but that isn't a flaw for me. In fact after a long time a cliffhanger has me this hyped for a sequel. Also even if next part doesn't end well (if somehow the animators get morb-ed), this part for me will still remain a materpiece.

I felt like I was being hyperbolic telling people it is one of the best films I've ever seen (I'm 40 by the way, so I've seen a few). Thank you for validating my perspective.

It’s a great 4-D chess move that not only did Hobie make a DIY dimension watch for Gwen, but that he gave it specifically to her father. Because I’m order for her to get the watch to save Miles, she would have to confront her father and the issues that created the rift between them, thus helping her grow and facing her more central demons. As if to say “if you’re to fight the fight out there, you must overcome the fight within yourself”
