Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - UHD/BD Combo + Digital

Without fail, I have watched wildly successful movies gain sequels that were too big for just one movie. The latest entry in this Trilogy Conundrum is none other than the animated Spider-Verse series. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) was a stylish and refreshing animated film that won the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Its sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), is equally good in both storytelling and animation. However, the size of such a story being stretched over two films affected some of this movie’s pacing.I am increasingly becoming a fan of the “stylized” animated movies like Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse. Pixar can show how realistic CGI animation can be, but I found truly creative CGI animation in other studios like this one. This “cartoony” style lends itself to the humor of the fight between Miles (Shameik Moore) and Spot (Jason Schwartzman). It’s also versatile enough to be serious when it needs to be. If anything, it is able to highlight the visual differences between the different universes.Superfans of the Spider-Man franchise likely got tons of references from decades of Spider-Man iterations. Even if this is your first introduction to the character, it’s likely you already know about the “canon events” that make up the central theme of this movie. Although it was enjoyable to see Spider-Man in different settings, the film’s second half was sluggish as it built up to the next movie’s premise. Not knowing where they were going to cut to a “To Be Continued” card made the last bit seem endless. Still, I’m excited to watch the last part of this trilogy since the first two parts have been solid.A solid Trilogy Conundrum entry in the Spider-Verse saga, I give Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 4.5 stars out of 5.

It’s like having a behind-the-scenes pass that makes you appreciate the craftsmanship even more.The soundtrack is another highlight, perfectly complementing the movie’s energy and emotion.

It’s emotional, action-packed, and filled with heart, making it a must-watch for anyone who loves Spider-Man or just great cinema. I can’t recommend it enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Spider-Man movie ever, better than the first Spider-Verse, better than No Way Home and better than the original Spider-Man trilogy from Sam Raimi. I think you already know why by know but I'll try to explain myself anyway.You thought Everything Everywhere All At Once was the perfect Multiverse movie? You're dead wrong. THIS is the perfect Multiverse movie and it's not even close. This movie is on Puss In Boots: The Last Wish level of storytelling for kids and not being afraid to really go deep with its message. The legacy and absolute care for the Spider-Man mythos, pantheon of characters and overall history is ALL over this movie. Every single old and new character in here is unforgettable, whether they're complex, relatable and interesting or just really fun people to watch and be around. Every literal frame of this movie is filled with unique, interesting and heartfelt details and it does it so well, it rivals Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (and if you like Scott Pilgrim and you've seen that movie, you know that is VERY high praise). Miles' journey is emotional and very interesting, building off of and re-enforcing the idea that anyone can be Spider-Man, no matter what. The Spot is a villain I never even heard of before this movie and now I can easily call him one of the best Spider-Man villains in cinematic history. The writing is clever, the story is action-packed and interesting, the music is instantly iconic (whether it's become a hilarious terrifying meme or just really cool and interesting to listen to) and it leaves you feeling like you yourself crossed through the Multiverse and begging for more. That last-minute twist before the cliffhanger was so cool and I was on the edge of my seat. More animated films need to be longer if this is the quality they can put out and I cannot wait for what Beyond The Spider-Verse has in store for us and how it's going to end easily one of the best superhero stories in the modern era and in cinematic history.As for the Phil Lord and Chris Miller controversy, all I want to say to them is treat your animators nicely next time because whatever insanity happened is just not okay.If you like Spider-Man for any reason, big or small, minor or life-long nostalgic, you're going to like Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse. No matter what.

This addition to the Spiderverse is so creative and entertaining, some of the coolest animation ever.

Love this movie, visually stunning felt like I was watching the future of animation. Not really a graphic novel fan but this film made me think maybe I should be.

Great movie for the entire family to watch!

Absolutely love the storyline along with the animation.

Just an amazing movie. A great watch due to all the easter eggs
