    I know this is going against the grain here, but I felt it was way too bloated and referential. The cliffhanger was just insult to injury.

    That said, the parts that were good, were fantastic, I just wish they weren’t buried in quippy nonsense

    • Technically and design wise I think it improves on the first in basically every way, it’s difficult to compare the story though since the first was much more self contained (if such a thing is possible in a multiverse movie lol)

      I havn’t seen the first one in a while, but I left the theater last night feeling the same way I did after the first one, fantastic movie. I’d say theyre on par with eachother.

    Can’t wait to watch it next week. Just saw apparently the 3rd one is coming out in less than a year which is crazy since we waited like 5 for this sequel.

    • Yeah that kind of came out of nowhere since they never marketed like that. But after sitting there for what felt like the full 2 hours and they’re opening new plot points I kind of figured it was heading towards a cliffhanger. Not too mad though, it’s well written enough that I’m glad they’re talking their time instead of trying to cut it into one movie.

      I feel like I figured by the time they made it to the future world that Miguel was from that they were not going to resolve the Spot plotline, so I was fine with a cliff hanger.

    Some of the stylistic art choices were breathtaking. Truly one of the most visually stunning animated films to come out in my lifetime. I really appreciate that they aren’t afraid to experiment with pretty unique plot directions (being intentionally vague to avoid spoilers since the movie is still new). Also, I noticed that the soundtrack was full of some fun tracks that really differentiate it from a typical superhero film. It made me realize how bored I’ve gotten by the typical fare we get from a superhero movie. I enjoy most Marvel movies enough, but this movie wasn’t afraid to go to new places and break new ground. And I suppose to be fair, that’s the upside to animation over live action. All these thoughts could probably apply to the first Spiderverse movie too, but this movie felt like it took it all a step further in a good way.

    I took my daughters to go see it and we all loved it. I was a bit shocked that it’s a two-parter but at the same time I’m glad they went that route. So far the Spider-Verse movies are my favorite Spider-Man movies.
