My review of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

 My review of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Intro: OK let's see if saying this will work. 

???: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. 

Miles Morales: Fxxk that! 

I don't get why the quote is so popular when we still have stingy people. 

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: This movie takes place over a year after the events from the first films and Miles is trying to balance his life out. Things get more difficult when Gwen shows up and is looking for one of Miles's foes called the Spot who turns out to be a bigger threat than he thought. Stopping him won't be easy considering Miles is not happy with how the other Spider-people plan on dealing with him. So, he has to figure out another way without everyone turning against him. 

Lighting strikes twice for Sony animation. Just like a good sequel this movie expands on the first film. The movie explores the multiverse in a way a live-action movie can't as far as being creative. The animation is an improvement each character looks different. Also, like the first film this movie has humor. This movie deals with a lot of themes like being accepted, finding your place in the world and predetermining vs free will. I like the ending to a point. 

You'll feel sorry for Miles Morales/Spider-Man not because his double life put him at odds with his parents, it's because his place in the Spider Society is not what he thinks it is. The only complaint I have with him is he's stupid for not taking the Spot seriously considering what he can do. 

Speaking of the Spot (the main villain) he may be a joke but he's a tragic character. He also parallels with Miles. I wish he was in the movie more often because he gets forgotten about. 

Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen is in a tough position in this movie. I have issues with what she did at the end of the movie. I mean there was no build-up to it. 

Spider-Punk is Mr. Personality.  

Peter B. Parker/Spider-Man doesn't have a big role in this movie, but we see how much he has changed since then.  

Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 is the leader of the Spider Society who is tasked with protecting the multiverse. Just like his comic book counterpart, he's also the only one who doesn't have a sense of humor. That's what bugs me about him we don't know why he's like this. I mean I do get an idea but it's not enough. 

One of the problems I have with this movie is this movie focuses more on the gimmicks of the multiverse than the multiverse itself. Considering that we are getting another movie I wish the writers would use a small group of Spider-people in this movie and save the rest for that film. The ending could have been better and the same thing goes for the dilemma in this movie. It's hard to swallow that Miles is the only one who doesn't agree with the plan. Personally, I wish the movie took place after Miles graduated from High School that would make sense considering what this movie is doing. 

All in all, this is a solid sequel that I would recommend checking out. 

Rating = Worth Seeing
