The Review: Spider Man Across The Spiderverse


Spider Man Across The Spiderverse 3/10


I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie. This one...not so much. It looked good. The music was nice. The voice acting was on point. But the story felt so all over the place and this felt way longer than it actually was. I had to spread this out over the night and through the day to finish. This would have worked better as a series, not a two and a half hour long movie that had no ending. Yeah. I didn't know this was setting up for a sequel that may take a while to come out. I should talk about the story. Miles is having trouble balancing being a hero and his normal life. He discovers he should never have become Spider-Man and we get into a bunch of Multiverse issues. People talk about “superhero fatigue.” I am having multiverse fatigue. There was so much going on in this that I didn't stick with any character long enough to really care. It was just a lot of flashy things happening on screen.
