CRITIC REVIEWS FOR SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE
It takes the basic themes of the first film – adolescent isolation, communication breakdown, the messy, stressful business of growing, of finding your people – and builds whole worlds with them.
It’s hard to follow up such a success, but Across the Spider-Verse (the second of a planned trilogy) takes the action and the story to the next level and may just be a superior film.
...what once seemed brain-bendingly original now seems over-familiar...
Across the Spider-Verse avoids seeming like a physics lesson because its visuals are consistently thrilling; the most static bits of dialogue still pop because of how daring the animation is.
Plays with literally every possible form of animation to create a stunning spectacle that also still manages to tell a smart, character-driven story about fate, friendship, and the cost of being a hero.
This latest addition to the Spider-Verse canon reminds us why we love superhero narratives — not just for the action but for their humanity.
An incredible feat of multiple animation styles mixed with a fascinating and emotional story which gets you completely invested and ready for a conclusion that can't come soon enough.
'Across the Spider-Verse' crawls with action, mind-boggling animation
'Across' takes the ideas of the previous film and injects steroids into the brand in every way. It's dazzling, filled with Easter eggs, and does what great Spider-man movies do: leans on the emotional core for it's strength.
Everything about this second film is better, from the seemingly enhanced animation style, the writing, the imagination, the humor, and the emotional investment.
A brilliant feat of artistry that builds upon the spirit of the first film and elevates it. The story, visuals, performances, score, and action will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse bridges the gap between Into and Beyond with panache, though the story finds itself far too overloaded at times.
