Spider-man: Across Spiderverse

Wow what a ride. I have to admit I hardly remembered the first film in this series going in so I didn’t know what to expect. All I really remembered was crazy visuals and a soundtrack that had the whole world singing “Sunflower” by Post Malone. With that in mind, I was hoping for the same from this one.

Absolutely blown away by the art direction and music for this movie. They nailed it again. The way each of the universes had their own styles and how each matched the individual spider-people that resided in the universe worked flawlessly. To go along with the variety of world and Spiders we saw was an incredible soundtrack. That while missing a hit as renowned as “Sunflower” really hit on all cylinders. I found myself listening to the music the next morning during my commute and will no doubt add many of the sounds to my daily playlists.

I’m going to keep this review spoiler free but I want to hit the main story beats. This was a movie on the longer end of the spectrum (over 2 hours) but I found myself wishing for more when it ended. I cannot wait to see how the conflicts involving Miles and the other Spider-people close out in the next chapter. I thought they did a great job making this movie feel like it could stand on its own two feet while also keeping the tension for its inevitable sequel.

Final rating 4.5/5 stars. The story, comedy and writing are worth the price of admission alone. The music and visuals make you come back for more.

    I loved the soundtrack for this movie. Thanks for the link to the Spotify playlist!

    I’ve never been a huge fan of the multiverse aspect of Marvel, but I thought this was done relatively well. When Marvel movies jump forward and backward in time, AND they travel across the multiverse in the same film, I find myself feeling so overwhelmed. This movie, however, didn’t get too crazy with it. 4.5/5 stars from me as well
