Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

8.7/1o stinky bananas

I will preface my review with the fact that somebody in my theatre ripped a nasty fart about halfway through the movie. It ruined part of the movie for me because all I could think about was how gross that person's fart was. Yuck.

Besides the stinky fart, the movie was great! Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a worthy sequel.

This movie is similar to the first in many respects. Tons of great characters, funny quips, and crazy action sequences.

The animation leveled up astronomically. I was extremely impressed, it felt like my eyes couldn't fully absorb everything I was seeing. I couldn't begin to understand how they were able to blend so many animation styles together so seamlessly. The animation style that stands out the most to me is the water colour animation on Gwen's earth. Beautifully done.

All the nods and easter eggs in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are great, but there were too many. It took me out of the movie at points. They were too distracting.

Gripe time. Gripe #1: The movie lost some of the heart (emphasis on some) that made the first movie so damn good. Gripe #2: They could've wrapped up the movie way better. It ends so abruptly. I get that it's a cliffhanger that will lead directly into the next movie, but this movie should've had much more finality to it.

When reading this review, keep in mind that I was fighting through someone's disgusting fart(s) for a good 20 minutes of the movie. It smelt like the guy had 8 scoops of ice cream 5 minutes before walking into the movie. Mere mortals would've ran out of the theatre with watery eyes but I gutted it out. Credit to me.

Go watch this movie in theatres, but be wary of people with stinky farts.
