Recommendations: Across the Spiderverse
Added 2023-08-21 21:16:03 +0000 UTCSince I finally got around to watching Into the Spiderverse, and loving everything about it, I got to hop into the theatres for its anticipated sequel, and it's gotten some hate due to the toxicity of its fandom and social media outrage.
All of which is completely unrelated to the film itself, and now that it's been a couple months, hasn't been nearly as prevelant online, at least from my feeds, the film can just be completey enjoyed.
It's actually rather remarkable how much this film steps up its artistic and technical ability from a film that was already notible for both. The variety of art-styles alone and how they manage to form a cohesive whole is incredible, not to mention the engaging cast, high-stakes action, and for the first time in years, a "mainstream" movie had me genuinely wondering where the hell this story was going to go, in a good way.
I'm not a Superhero film fan, but Spiderman is the franchise I grew up with, and it's almost fitting for the next evolution of this genre to be with Spiderman as well.
Whether you're waiting for this series to be completed, or ready to hop on the agonziing but fun anitcipation train, check it out.
