MOVIESinMO REVIEW
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is worth all the hype, plus more. I didn’t think it was possible, but they actually topped the first movie. This time they added a Morales-penned Spider-Verse. An addition that adds so much more depth to the Spider-man stories, canon or not. Like the last Miles Morales Spider-man movie, this one gives a short but detailed introduction to nearly every “new” Spider-person with more than one sentence throughout the film. And like the last film that introduced an out-of-shape Peter B. Parker, Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman, Peter Porker / Spider-Ham, Peni Parker / SP//dr, and a 1930s Peter Parker known as Spider-Man Noir, Across the Spider-Verse, adds every Spider-man iteration into one massive, fully explained universe of possibilities. The villain count changed dramatically. The last time, there were three major enemies: Doctor Olivia “Liv” Octavius, Prowler, and Kingpin. This time it started simple with The Spot, but that changed once the story unfolded and more details about the Spider-verse came to light. This is when you discover how much of a Spider-man fan you are. The story was fully detailed, with emotional moments complimenting every aspect of the movie. The comedy was great, but the real attention goes to the compelling twists and plot changes. They incorporated and used the one thing every Spider-man fan is tired of and based an entire story around it – Spidey’s origin and depressing life as people they love die because of them. But the storytelling goes far beyond the life of Spider-man. This is a story of love, loss, friendship, and betrayal. No matter what was happening, that feeling of family would always resonate.
