Watched it with my daughter. All of the parent/offspring moments--the conversations--perfectly encapsulated everything I ever wanted to say to her. Even things I tried to say but couldn't get the words right. I just told her: "Did you hear what Miles and Gwen's parents said to them? Just pretend I said that to you and I'm very proud of you." She hugged me.
My daughter is 8 and when things happen between certain hero with certain person she put her head on my shoulder. I think she felt something at that moment
Yessss. Such a great movie. Those personal interactions with the characters were the best parts. I hope part 2 is 3 hours long. I just didn't want it to end. ❤
My mom passed away in 2016. We had those conversations all the way up to the end - the last time we talked she said she was proud of me. I cannot express how much that has mattered since. That's the best present you can ever get your daughter. She will treasure it long after every other thing you give her is forgotten.
Yup, he was. He came around 2014 when the first spiderverse comic event happened. Regardless, great to have him, and glad to see him make it to have him on the big screen!
This film had so much HEART. I already knew about Gwen's past, but that scene near the start still nearly brought me to tears. The writers really care about the characters and the VAs are putting their all into this.
Just got out the theater. I remember watching the lion king & having this great feeling. Same with toy story. Same with the dark knight. I had the exact same feeling watching this film. 10/10, I cannot believe it was better than the first.
That's quite the company of films you mentioned. Though I can relate, I have to hold my final rating on this film because unlike the others I left the theater with an overwhelming feeling of incompleteness. Not saying it wasn't good. But that it was too good to leave audiences hanging for at least a year (?) or so. I've never heard an audience keep so silent (mostly) throughout a movie only to collectively groan so loudly when the credits rolled. People were complaining and I heard one say "don't bother me with the first part until the second is out' which I completely understand.
It's a 10/10 but it ain't better than the first one, simply due to the long running length, pregnant Spiderwoman was lame, and way too much Gwen Stacy to the point her name should have been on the title card.
Glad to hear that the team behind this film was able to top themselves from the previous film because that was my main concern. The first film itself was perfect. How do you top perfection? Well, apparently we're all going to find out.
I was concerned when they brought a director Joaquim dos Santos who co-wrote Voltron legendary defenders atrocious finale. I directing and writing are two different things, but I was still cautiously optimistic about this film. Glad to see it’s doing well.
Yes!! It gave me the same vibes I had as a kid during the "Disney Renaissance" of the late 80's/early 90's. I'm not even a huge Miles Morales/spider girl fan but damn was it a good movie and I actually am intrigued about the next one.

@@hamhockbeansYesssss. I agree. They took their time developing the relationships and I really liked those parts a lot. I really sat there and didn't want this 2 end.
Saw the movie today with my sister and her boyfriend! Everyone keeps telling Miles how his story is supposed to go but he wants to do his own thing Heck he even discovers a part of himself that shakes him to his core; maybe his existence threatens everyone else His mother even gives him sound advice being the man he grows into, being loved, feeling like he belongs, never forgetting who he is if no one else will look out for him if not his own parents, and not letting anyone tell him he can’t not belong anywhere Nobody should tell you how your story should go, being Spider-Man is a sacrifice, bad things happen but it makes us who we are like the good things, some things are only just for us, the more you try to fix the harder it gets, sometimes kids needs to spread their wings I think this was just as good as the first movie if not better Love there's deeper context to Spider Gwen's backstory (a bit lengthy) at the beginning There's plenty of the heartfelt moments with the family dynamics Miles Morales has to go through finding his belonging wanting to contribute to the multiverse so it’s good they don’t skimp on that The visuals are top notch as usual and with the backgrounds matching the emotions our heroes go through like oil paintings or abstract art It’s also consistently funny throughout I was smiling so much Hip hop and r&b is also a big part of the soundtrack which actually might be more impressive this time The Spot voiced by Jason Schwartzman is funny enough although he should've been a bigger villain and I wish they had gotten to the society of Spider people a lot quicker (that should’ve been the crux of the whole story) But I do love how there's so many iterations of the character from the comics to the cartoons to video games to the live action movies to even the Lego universe and the Venom SONY Universe! Omg…. It's beyond crazy there's lot of stuff to look out for it desires repeat viewings to catch all the visual Easter eggs and inside references being so meta So many of these spider people have had to endure loss and suffering to become who they are; no matter what incarnation, background, the character is always centered around tragedy The twist at the end is quite a bombshell too Again it ends so abruptly but the good news is that part 3 will be coming out wrap up this version of Spider-Man The movie feels like the middle chapter obviously but the animators still love the style of certain characters whether it's from one universe or multiple ones The slower moments do allow Miles to ponder his own journey however challenging it may be learning about fate, friendship, and the cost of being a hero A worthy follow up for sure
Honestly if anything, this movie and Guardians 3 being out right now and both getting rave reviews from critics and audiences just prove that the whole “superhero fatigue” narrative is kinda bullshit. Like yeah I get it, we’re getting too much and a lot of them recently have been just fine or underwhelming, but that’s really the thing: people aren’t tired of superhero movies, they’re tired of mediocrity. Whenever we get a bad or mid comic book movie, people bitch about it like, “Man I’m starting to get bored of superhero movies.” but when we get a really good one, they shut up, and we had a few great ones in the pile of average or terrible ones. So lesson is: Make more movies like Spiderverse and Guardians, and less like Quantumania, Shazam 2, Morbius, and Black Adam
Oh the fatigue is definitely real. After endgame I stopped watching all marvel stuff. This is the first superhero movie I decided to tune into in years.
@@Nimbus3690 I mean it’s not haven’t got any great superhero movies whether from Marvel or DC after Endgame. No Way Home, Shang Chi and Wakanda Forever, The Batman, and The Suicide Squad we’re really good, recently Guardians 3 was fantastic. I get feeling that there’s too much or that some projects don’t grab your interest, but I just think the whole “superhero fatigue” narrative is a load of horseshit.
When the last one came out, it was the same year as another Spider-Man film and the first game. And Korey said “Spider-Man is like Jell-O, there’s always room for more.
Only reason this movie isn’t perfect is because I was not expecting the part 1. They really did a good job of hiding that or at least I hid myself from it lol. I did not expect the cliffhanger
Oh No, someone left Martin in the sun too long and he pulled a Sammy Sosa… either that or this is a Martin from another dimension, who instead of fedoras wears Burger King crowns lol
The screening I went to last night, it was pretty packed and of course there were some kids in there. I expected at some point to hear some fussing about "is it over soon?" or something, but I wasn't going to let it bother me. The only sound I heard was a kid stifling cough once or twice. Beyond that, none of the kids said a thing throughout. I don't know what amazed me more, that or the movie itself.
I saw Across the Spider Verse today, it was frickin phenomenal! The whole film kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, the animation was absolutely gorgeous to look at from all of the different art styles that were used, and the cliffhanger left me excited for the next one! In my opinion, I felt this was even better than the first one, which is pretty impressive because the first was already a masterpiece! 10/10 for me!
I totally agree with you. Anybody who thinks this film was moving too fast, should realize THAT’S THE DESIRED EFFECT! That’s how you push the paradigm for the next generation. In other words, YOU’RE TOO OLD!!😝
Either that or I think a better comparison is Back To The Future Part II. It was a movie that was not well received at the time (or just received lukewarm at best) but eventually grew on people over the years. You can't deny that Spider-Verse 2 has some of the best animation ever put to film.
I can’t wait to see this movie with my sons. We have been watching the first one weekly since it dropped 😭they are obsessed with Miles. He is the only Spider-Man my youngest will acknowledge 😅
As a Spider-Man fan, this film was like an Orgasmic experience lol. It's been a while since I've walked out of the Cinema buzzing with hype and shock. That's me saying this calmly.
Just came back from it and I loved it wow talk about every frame a painting, it looked amazing, especially the scenes with Gwen and her dad. The central conflict is great and great use of metatext The reveal with Earth 42 and the mom was great,they distracted me enough to forget about the spider. The stand outs were Spider-Punk and Pavitr, they stole the show for me High Full Price
This movie and the next Spider-Verse were in production at the same time way before the writer's strike started. I think it's safe to assume that the next film will be fine.
@Michael Strong ok but stranger things season 5 was recently in production and they put the filming on holt sooooo who's to say they won't for the next spider verse film
@@jarrodedson5441 bro the directors already announced that both films were being made back 2 back like how infinity War/ Endgame were. The third film is going to b released March 2024
That close up of The Spot reminds me of Bill Sienkiewicz, one of my favorite comic book artists!! SOLD!! If the last one won an Oscar, this one feels like a lock!!
I've never gone back and forth in my mind so many times between two movies. "Across the Spider-Verse" and "Into the Spider-Verse" are easily my two favorite Spidey movies of all time, hands down. Which one is better though? It's tough. I almost feel like giving it to "Into" solely because of the "What's up danger" scene.... But I feel "Across" is a more ambitious and reflective movie, that makes it more intriguing and engaging watch for me. It's fitting that the first movie had that theme/graffiti of "No Expectations", because the second movie really delves into the notion of SUBVERTING expectations. Whereas the first movie hammers down the notion that ANYone can be Spider-Man, the second one is about delving into, and possibly changing what it means to be Spider-Man. "Across" has a more harrowing feel to it, in comparison to the more freewheeling tone of the first. Despite the second one being a solid movie on its own, it is still very much an incomplete story. I almost feel like I can't even judge it properly without seeing "Beyond the Spider-Verse". Maybe that is a criticism, but it is clearly an execution by design. I just loved "Across the Spider-Verse" so much. If the third movie can match what the first two accomplish, we'll definitely have an all-time great trilogy on our hands!
Sensory overload. The exact same thing I thought leaving the movie. I say that with love though. I felt there was so much to constantly pay attention to. It held my attention the entire time but I did need to decompress afterwards.
Did y'all hear they apparently released two different versions, with minor dialogue alternatives. And the amount of references, but well placed/hidden is incredible. I'm a little biased, but 10/10 for me. The first one is a 9.5 imo

@@RedDevilStudio (SPOILERS) * * * * The villains ending up scattered on different Earths due to "canon events" being messed with. I assume that included MCU's Vulture ending up in the Venomverse.
Hope the double toasted crew make a spoiler discussion , because this is animation, this is storytelling, this is cinema. It’s deeper than some live action drama movies. It deserves discussion until at least Beyond the Spider-Verse.
This movie is the first one in decades that made me feel like i did as a kid seeing a Disney "Renaissance" era movie. Its not a perfect movie but there's something about it. A near perfect merging of many little things. "That wasn't a good animated movie, that was just a really good movie!"
It's times like these when I think about how much Miles Morales & Riri Williams pissed people off when they were revealed. How people pulled out that race swap & pandering garbage. & I just love to see these characters having this kind of success. A well written character is a well written character & a good story is a good story. Everybody needs to stop getting their panties in a bunch over that kind of pointless bs.
It's not garbage at all. Even Korey in the Little Mermaid review said he started to understand the frustration with race swapping instead of just making an original black or other minority character. These characters have been written BAD at times and that's what generated the dislike. More that Miles is written well in these movies we can look passed the obvious intentions of the past and appreciate Miles for who he is as a character and how well things are in these particular movies. I heard he's gotten better in the comics too but I don't keep up with them
@@The_Oracle_58 it is garbage & it’s the announcement that generates backlash before their stories even come out to see if their good or not. Miles’ early comics were good, but there was too much hate for the character for people to give them a chance. Plenty of superheroes have multiple people take up their mantle, but it’s the women & minorities that draw backlash. You can go ahead & stop that garbage too.
My only criticism would be if this could've been a series, it could be spread out and paced better while also including more so all the bits that did feel rushed (like Indian Spiderman was for me) could've had some breathing room and also possibly been out in a shorter timeframe than having to wait a year for part 2. Then could have the whole story told in loads of episodes that probably spanned 6 months weekly (making equivalent to the length of some 20+ episode animes like Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star). Then again that's more a wish fulfilment hypothetical. Movie was still the most amazing spiderman/comicbook/animated film of the year!
11:28 Are you sure you don't hear the director's voice in MCU movies? Mulitverse of Madnesss, Love and Thunder, Eternals, Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, did you not hear the directors' voices in those films?
That’s one thing I don’t entirely agree with Korey on. Certain MCU movies, yeah they do feel made by committee, even some of the best ones like No Way Home and all the Russo Brothers directed MCU movies don’t really have that much of a style to them, but Phase 4 was definitely the most experimental and some of the directors did shine more, but it was just to varying degrees of success. Raimi did elevate MoM despite the movie’s flaws, Zhao definitely brought her signature style into Eternals even if some felt it was out of place in the MCU and the movie would’ve worked much better as a show, Love and Thunder definitely went full Taika but not in the best way, he did go too much on the comedy, and Gunn is definitely the best one with the Guardians trilogy fitting into the MCU while standing on their own while and feeling like his movie.
@@gcolbyp Yeah, MCU is doing exactly what they claim they want them to do which is allowing directors to bring more of their own voice into these films. But I think they are under the impression that a director having more of own distant voice automatically makes the movie good which isn't the case.
@@realityshifter3399 Yeah there’s been cases where a director has too much freedom to the film’s detriment, some would say Tim Burton with Batman Returns, The Wachowskis with Speed Racer, recently Damien Chazelle with Babylon, hell I’m even seeing some say that about Ari Aster with Beau is Afraid. There needs to be a middle ground, I want the director’s voice heard on the screen and for movies to bring a style to them, but they also need someone next to them to go, “Hey you’re doing too much man.” That’s why the Guardians movie are a perfect example of that middle ground.
Also its weird korey complaining that mcu movies just set up stuff when in a video about love and thunders second weekend drop he and martin complained there is no set up. Now korey say they just set up.
I cried 4 times watching this film yesterday. Almost 5. I held back the tears for the 5th. Excellent film. I was bummed out that there was a cliff-hanger.
To the criticism that ATSV was close to losing focus: I agree. Let me say from my personal experience, I was able to keep up as a grown-ass adult, but some dude brought his 5-year-old into the movie and the poor kid was begging to go home half-way through the movie. It's definitely a film that relies on its audience to understand the complex concept of the multiverse going into the film, I think.
The Empire Strikes back comparison is very apt, I feel Star Wars was a standalone film, but Empire and Jedi were made as a two parter, so Empire could afford to end on a downer note. This film is about as good as a successor to the first as I could ever had hoped for. It doesn't just do the same thing again, but it is a proper sequel that builds off of the first one and takes its ideas in new directions
The only negative to me was the pacing. It went from a slow beginning to 100mph and almost didn’t relent. It was almost like the pacing of jokes on Family Guy - just one thing right after another. ADHD , multitasking, fast paced. The same complaint I had about No Way Home. I just got overwhelmed and couldn’t absorb everything that was happening. Other than that, great flick.
One thing that really stood out to me is that the disaster rescue super hero sequences were extremely tense and you felt REAL peril despite how hyperreal and stylized the animation is. It felt more real somehow than photorealistic CGI disaster sequences. You really buy in and my butt was clenched for the entire duration of some of those scenes.
Just got back from seeing this film and it was simply amazing. Actually topped the first one and that's saying something because that was also a great film.
I'm about to head to my bus stop to take me to my local theater for this one!! Gonna see an early Thursday showing and then tomorrow gonna head to the other theater right after work to see it again! I'm so ready!!!
6:28 You're never ever going to see those characters again in one movie - that's one of the reasons why Who Framed Roger Rabbit is infinitely a better film than Miles Morales Across the SpiderVerse. That said I thoroughly enjoyed this film on the most part that I'd just about squeeze it to a 10/10 despite some real flaws in it's execution.
This movie is easily in my top 3 of the year and favorite animated film of since Into the "Spider-Verse" ("Suzume" that came out earlier this year comes a close second though)
My theory of the construction lines is as the story is unfolding, the colliding of all the Spiders together is cutting through the fabrics, concepts, drafts and textures of the universes, even our world, leading us "Beyond..." maybe even into a brand new look for the third film
My theater was NOT happy with it ending on a cliffhanger! whoa! I loved Into The Spiderverse & thought this was pretty damn entertaining but perhaps too damn meta as well.
10:02 Ben's death really gets overblown. He died twice on the big screen... And it only felt tired because of how lazy TASM version was. We don't need to see Ben die, but his influence 1000% *needs to be there.* That's why MCU Spidey was called _"Iron-Man Jr"_ until NWH.

His mother even gives him sound advice being the man he grows into, being loved, feeling like he belongs, never forgetting who he is if no one else will look out for him if not his own parents, and not letting anyone tell him he can’t not belong anywhere
Nobody should tell you how your story should go, being Spider-Man is a sacrifice, bad things happen but it makes us who we are like the good things, some things are only just for us, the more you try to fix the harder it gets, sometimes kids needs to spread their wings
I think this was just as good as the first movie if not better
Love there's deeper context to Spider Gwen's backstory (a bit lengthy) at the beginning
There's plenty of the heartfelt moments with the family dynamics Miles Morales has to go through finding his belonging wanting to contribute to the multiverse so it’s good they don’t skimp on that
The visuals are top notch as usual and with the backgrounds matching the emotions our heroes go through like oil paintings or abstract art
It’s also consistently funny throughout I was smiling so much
Hip hop and r&b is also a big part of the soundtrack which actually might be more impressive this time
The Spot voiced by Jason Schwartzman is funny enough although he should've been a bigger villain and I wish they had gotten to the society of Spider people a lot quicker (that should’ve been the crux of the whole story)
But I do love how there's so many iterations of the character from the comics to the cartoons to video games to the live action movies to even the Lego universe and the Venom SONY Universe! Omg….
It's beyond crazy there's lot of stuff to look out for it desires repeat viewings to catch all the visual Easter eggs and inside references being so meta
So many of these spider people have had to endure loss and suffering to become who they are; no matter what incarnation, background, the character is always centered around tragedy
The twist at the end is quite a bombshell too
Again it ends so abruptly but the good news is that part 3 will be coming out wrap up this version of Spider-Man
The movie feels like the middle chapter obviously but the animators still love the style of certain characters whether it's from one universe or multiple ones
The slower moments do allow Miles to ponder his own journey however challenging it may be learning about fate, friendship, and the cost of being a hero
A worthy follow up for sure
Spiderman's been my favorite hero for a lifetime. I'm happy to see these movies do so well and come out so beautifully.
DC messed up not promoting blue beetle to rival Spiderman from the beginning
@@pastoryoda2789 I like Spot. he's quarky.
Honestly if anything, this movie and Guardians 3 being out right now and both getting rave reviews from critics and audiences just prove that the whole “superhero fatigue” narrative is kinda bullshit. Like yeah I get it, we’re getting too much and a lot of them recently have been just fine or underwhelming, but that’s really the thing: people aren’t tired of superhero movies, they’re tired of mediocrity.
Whenever we get a bad or mid comic book movie, people bitch about it like, “Man I’m starting to get bored of superhero movies.” but when we get a really good one, they shut up, and we had a few great ones in the pile of average or terrible ones. So lesson is: Make more movies like Spiderverse and Guardians, and less like Quantumania, Shazam 2, Morbius, and Black Adam
Facts
Y'all, we need more GREAT superhero films.
Oh the fatigue is definitely real. After endgame I stopped watching all marvel stuff. This is the first superhero movie I decided to tune into in years.
@@Nimbus3690 I mean it’s not haven’t got any great superhero movies whether from Marvel or DC after Endgame. No Way Home, Shang Chi and Wakanda Forever, The Batman, and The Suicide Squad we’re really good, recently Guardians 3 was fantastic. I get feeling that there’s too much or that some projects don’t grab your interest, but I just think the whole “superhero fatigue” narrative is a load of horseshit.
@@antwanscott97 That’s what I’m saying
When the last one came out, it was the same year as another Spider-Man film and the first game. And Korey said “Spider-Man is like Jell-O, there’s always room for more.
Only reason this movie isn’t perfect is because I was not expecting the part 1. They really did a good job of hiding that or at least I hid myself from it lol. I did not expect the cliffhanger
This and the first film look like they should be in a museum.
Oh No, someone left Martin in the sun too long and he pulled a Sammy Sosa… either that or this is a Martin from another dimension, who instead of fedoras wears Burger King crowns lol
The screening I went to last night, it was pretty packed and of course there were some kids in there. I expected at some point to hear some fussing about "is it over soon?" or something, but I wasn't going to let it bother me.
The only sound I heard was a kid stifling cough once or twice. Beyond that, none of the kids said a thing throughout. I don't know what amazed me more, that or the movie itself.
The first one won an Academy Award for a reason
I saw Across the Spider Verse today, it was frickin phenomenal! The whole film kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, the animation was absolutely gorgeous to look at from all of the different art styles that were used, and the cliffhanger left me excited for the next one! In my opinion, I felt this was even better than the first one, which is pretty impressive because the first was already a masterpiece! 10/10 for me!
I totally agree with you. Anybody who thinks this film was moving too fast, should realize THAT’S THE DESIRED EFFECT!
That’s how you push the paradigm for the next generation. In other words, YOU’RE TOO OLD!!😝
This really is the Spider-Man version of Empire Strikes Back kinda. It’s unbelievable.
Either that or I think a better comparison is Back To The Future Part II. It was a movie that was not well received at the time (or just received lukewarm at best) but eventually grew on people over the years. You can't deny that Spider-Verse 2 has some of the best animation ever put to film.
I don't know who Koreys talking to, but he's very funny and I really like his input here (kinda cute as well)
🙏 Twitch.tv/julienmisterhumdinger
I can’t wait to see this movie with my sons. We have been watching the first one weekly since it dropped 😭they are obsessed with Miles. He is the only Spider-Man my youngest will acknowledge 😅
This is my number one most anticipated film of the year! Already got my ticket for tonight
As a Spider-Man fan, this film was like an Orgasmic experience lol. It's been a while since I've walked out of the Cinema buzzing with hype and shock. That's me saying this calmly.
Just came back from it and I loved it
wow talk about every frame a painting, it looked amazing, especially the scenes with Gwen and her dad.
The central conflict is great and great use of metatext
The reveal with Earth 42 and the mom was great,they distracted me enough to forget about the spider.
The stand outs were Spider-Punk and Pavitr, they stole the show for me
High Full Price
"Everyone loves spiderman!" Except for multiversal being J. Jonah Jameson.
I swear to god, watching Double Toasted is like the ESPN of Movie Reviews with the sheer energy
I hope the writer’s strike doesn’t affect the next Spiderverse movie
This movie and the next Spider-Verse were in production at the same time way before the writer's strike started. I think it's safe to assume that the next film will be fine.
The next film comes out in 10 months
@Michael Strong ok but stranger things season 5 was recently in production and they put the filming on holt sooooo who's to say they won't for the next spider verse film
@@jarrodedson5441 bro the directors already announced that both films were being made back 2 back like how infinity War/ Endgame were. The third film is going to b released March 2024
i think it’s already done
This movie literally upped the animation game for all movies to follow. A+. Stunningly artistic. A masterpiece.
I hope Martin is on for the spoiler discussion
This movie is worth the IMAX. One shot with 90's Spiderman was too immersive
That close up of The Spot reminds me of Bill Sienkiewicz, one of my favorite comic book artists!! SOLD!! If the last one won an Oscar, this one feels like a lock!!
I hope it’s the best sequel since Paddington 2
I unironically love Paddington 2.
Paddington 2 was awesome!!!!😂
I agree in how overwhelming it can feel. I think they could've trimmed it down. Otherwise BEAUTIFUL film!! I'm glad Gwen has her own theme now!
I believe they are forshowding Miguel's villainy. "Spiderman doesn't wear a cape" and he had a cape in the first appearance
You know it’s good shit when they wear the Burger King crowns
Omfg!! I’m soooo ready literally named my Son Miles after the first one
You delightful nerd👍🏾
I'd have been impressed if you had named your kid Miles Morales
I’m gonna name my kid Peter b parker
@@davidmichaelbabin1053 I named mine Galactus
I named my kid he who remains
So glad this movie is getting the praise it deserves 🔥🙌🏽
‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ came to mind as well after I saw it!!
Need that OST for this and the name of the track the plays when Miles and Gwen are just swinging around the city.
I've never gone back and forth in my mind so many times between two movies. "Across the Spider-Verse" and "Into the Spider-Verse" are easily my two favorite Spidey movies of all time, hands down. Which one is better though? It's tough. I almost feel like giving it to "Into" solely because of the "What's up danger" scene.... But I feel "Across" is a more ambitious and reflective movie, that makes it more intriguing and engaging watch for me. It's fitting that the first movie had that theme/graffiti of "No Expectations", because the second movie really delves into the notion of SUBVERTING expectations. Whereas the first movie hammers down the notion that ANYone can be Spider-Man, the second one is about delving into, and possibly changing what it means to be Spider-Man. "Across" has a more harrowing feel to it, in comparison to the more freewheeling tone of the first. Despite the second one being a solid movie on its own, it is still very much an incomplete story. I almost feel like I can't even judge it properly without seeing "Beyond the Spider-Verse". Maybe that is a criticism, but it is clearly an execution by design. I just loved "Across the Spider-Verse" so much. If the third movie can match what the first two accomplish, we'll definitely have an all-time great trilogy on our hands!
"No expectations", "subvert expectations", I bet the 3rd will be like "surpass expectations"
I absolutely loved this movie! The run time flew by, I didn’t even feel the 2 hours 20 minutes, but when it ended, holy shit!
When the ending came, the whole theater was in an uproar! I was yelling, out loud: "Noooooo! Give me two more hours! I'll stay and watch!"
Sensory overload. The exact same thing I thought leaving the movie. I say that with love though. I felt there was so much to constantly pay attention to. It held my attention the entire time but I did need to decompress afterwards.
Did y'all hear they apparently released two different versions, with minor dialogue alternatives. And the amount of references, but well placed/hidden is incredible. I'm a little biased, but 10/10 for me. The first one is a 9.5 imo

Shit crazy when u think about it
I’ll be seeing it this weekend. So psyched! I know it’s going to be my new favorite.
I can't wait for live action Miles Moreals and hopes the character will interact with the MCU. I already knew this film would be fire.
I got a feeling he'll be in Secret Wars
@@BaithNa dude that would be crazy. It would be like Spider-Man TAS Secret Wars event.
Spider-Man doesn't need the MCU imo. The whole point is that he's in the streets, among the people
@@fdub301 it's not about needing anything. Opening the doors to possible stories with other street-level heroes.
@@fdub301 so in the MCU but hanging with Daredevil and facing off against Kingpin? I could fuck with that.
After a hard day's work i love chilling with some Sunday lawn to get Double Toasted.
29:29 - 29:32 Honestly I loved the exhaustion after this movie I feel like I could have a cigarette after
The plot of this film basically explains the post-credits scenes from Morbius.
Won't elaborate beyond that.
I've watched it already, but how does it?
@@RedDevilStudio (SPOILERS)

The villains ending up scattered on different Earths due to "canon events" being messed with. I assume that included MCU's Vulture ending up in the Venomverse.
Come to think of it, does this have a post credit scene?
@SilhouettedAnimator
So could this explain why the villains ended up in no way home? The movie references the main mcu
@@RedDevilStudio arent the villians in no way home because of peter messing up the spell.
I like this Chris x Charlie Day fusion guy you have on this podcast now. Looks like your experiment paid off Korey.
Hope the double toasted crew make a spoiler discussion , because this is animation, this is storytelling, this is cinema. It’s deeper than some live action drama movies. It deserves discussion until at least Beyond the Spider-Verse.
This movie is the first one in decades that made me feel like i did as a kid seeing a Disney "Renaissance" era movie. Its not a perfect movie but there's something about it. A near perfect merging of many little things. "That wasn't a good animated movie, that was just a really good movie!"
It's times like these when I think about how much Miles Morales & Riri Williams pissed people off when they were revealed. How people pulled out that race swap & pandering garbage. & I just love to see these characters having this kind of success. A well written character is a well written character & a good story is a good story. Everybody needs to stop getting their panties in a bunch over that kind of pointless bs.
Miles was done right.
Riri... Yeah not so much.
I’ve seen the backlash against Riri for certain, but Miles? Nah.
It's not garbage at all. Even Korey in the Little Mermaid review said he started to understand the frustration with race swapping instead of just making an original black or other minority character. These characters have been written BAD at times and that's what generated the dislike. More that Miles is written well in these movies we can look passed the obvious intentions of the past and appreciate Miles for who he is as a character and how well things are in these particular movies. I heard he's gotten better in the comics too but I don't keep up with them
@@weirdguy1495 you’re not not old enough to participate
@@The_Oracle_58 it is garbage & it’s the announcement that generates backlash before their stories even come out to see if their good or not. Miles’ early comics were good, but there was too much hate for the character for people to give them a chance. Plenty of superheroes have multiple people take up their mantle, but it’s the women & minorities that draw backlash. You can go ahead & stop that garbage too.
Fast X came out a few weeks ago and did a cliffhanger that the audience reacted to with “huh?!” This ending? Audience burst into applause.
My only criticism would be if this could've been a series, it could be spread out and paced better while also including more so all the bits that did feel rushed (like Indian Spiderman was for me) could've had some breathing room and also possibly been out in a shorter timeframe than having to wait a year for part 2.
Then could have the whole story told in loads of episodes that probably spanned 6 months weekly (making equivalent to the length of some 20+ episode animes like Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star). Then again that's more a wish fulfilment hypothetical.
Movie was still the most amazing spiderman/comicbook/animated film of the year!
A series would be terrible, production value would be tanked
11:28 Are you sure you don't hear the director's voice in MCU movies? Mulitverse of Madnesss, Love and Thunder, Eternals, Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, did you not hear the directors' voices in those films?
That’s one thing I don’t entirely agree with Korey on. Certain MCU movies, yeah they do feel made by committee, even some of the best ones like No Way Home and all the Russo Brothers directed MCU movies don’t really have that much of a style to them, but Phase 4 was definitely the most experimental and some of the directors did shine more, but it was just to varying degrees of success.
Raimi did elevate MoM despite the movie’s flaws, Zhao definitely brought her signature style into Eternals even if some felt it was out of place in the MCU and the movie would’ve worked much better as a show, Love and Thunder definitely went full Taika but not in the best way, he did go too much on the comedy, and Gunn is definitely the best one with the Guardians trilogy fitting into the MCU while standing on their own while and feeling like his movie.
@@gcolbyp Yeah, MCU is doing exactly what they claim they want them to do which is allowing directors to bring more of their own voice into these films. But I think they are under the impression that a director having more of own distant voice automatically makes the movie good which isn't the case.
@@realityshifter3399 Yeah there’s been cases where a director has too much freedom to the film’s detriment, some would say Tim Burton with Batman Returns, The Wachowskis with Speed Racer, recently Damien Chazelle with Babylon, hell I’m even seeing some say that about Ari Aster with Beau is Afraid. There needs to be a middle ground, I want the director’s voice heard on the screen and for movies to bring a style to them, but they also need someone next to them to go, “Hey you’re doing too much man.” That’s why the Guardians movie are a perfect example of that middle ground.
Also its weird korey complaining that mcu movies just set up stuff when in a video about love and thunders second weekend drop he and martin complained there is no set up. Now korey say they just set up.
Good to hear the double high full price ratings from y'all.
Seeing it Saturday, but I sure can't wait to view this for myself.
Oliver Copiel + Slott created Spider-punk (who was originally going to be just Spider-man UK)
I cried 4 times watching this film yesterday. Almost 5. I held back the tears for the 5th. Excellent film. I was bummed out that there was a cliff-hanger.
To the criticism that ATSV was close to losing focus: I agree. Let me say from my personal experience, I was able to keep up as a grown-ass adult, but some dude brought his 5-year-old into the movie and the poor kid was begging to go home half-way through the movie. It's definitely a film that relies on its audience to understand the complex concept of the multiverse going into the film, I think.
I’m seeing today!! Been waiting for this movie forever
Love how there wearing the BK crowns lol
The Empire Strikes back comparison is very apt, I feel
Star Wars was a standalone film, but Empire and Jedi were made as a two parter, so Empire could afford to end on a downer note.
This film is about as good as a successor to the first as I could ever had hoped for. It doesn't just do the same thing again, but it is a proper sequel that builds off of the first one and takes its ideas in new directions
The only negative to me was the pacing. It went from a slow beginning to 100mph and almost didn’t relent. It was almost like the pacing of jokes on Family Guy - just one thing right after another. ADHD , multitasking, fast paced. The same complaint I had about No Way Home. I just got overwhelmed and couldn’t absorb everything that was happening. Other than that, great flick.
I wonder if Spider-cat comes from the same universe as Croc-Loki.
Korey’s friend looks like Lil Dicky 😂
One reviewer said this is the best spiderman movie ever made, better than the raimi trilogy and no way home.
As someone who grew up with the Raimi films I have to agree. This movie did so much for the character of Spiderman and was an absolute love letter
Korey Coleman wearing that Burger King crowd is just peak cosplay.
Hell yeah! Love the BK Crowns
There’s movies like Elvis, where it just makes you dizzy and there’s movies like this. When it feels like you are traveling with the characters
One thing that really stood out to me is that the disaster rescue super hero sequences were extremely tense and you felt REAL peril despite how hyperreal and stylized the animation is.
It felt more real somehow than photorealistic CGI disaster sequences. You really buy in and my butt was clenched for the entire duration of some of those scenes.
Just got back from seeing this film and it was simply amazing. Actually topped the first one and that's saying something because that was also a great film.
I'm about to head to my bus stop to take me to my local theater for this one!! Gonna see an early Thursday showing and then tomorrow gonna head to the other theater right after work to see it again! I'm so ready!!!
27:33 that was a reference to the meme lol. Surprised they didn't catch that
Possible Spoiler:
Korey mentions the sketch lines within Spot's design....didn't Miguel also have sketch lines..?
6:28 You're never ever going to see those characters again in one movie - that's one of the reasons why Who Framed Roger Rabbit is infinitely a better film than Miles Morales Across the SpiderVerse. That said I thoroughly enjoyed this film on the most part that I'd just about squeeze it to a 10/10 despite some real flaws in it's execution.
This movie is easily in my top 3 of the year and favorite animated film of since Into the "Spider-Verse" ("Suzume" that came out earlier this year comes a close second though)
"I never wanted it to end."
Well, I've got some good news for you...
My theory of the construction lines is as the story is unfolding, the colliding of all the Spiders together is cutting through the fabrics, concepts, drafts and textures of the universes, even our world, leading us "Beyond..." maybe even into a brand new look for the third film
Did anyone have issues hearing like the first 30 minutes of the movie? Particularly Gwen’s monologue? Like the sound mixing was off or something
Yes it was very low
My theater was NOT happy with it ending on a cliffhanger! whoa! I loved Into The Spiderverse & thought this was pretty damn entertaining but perhaps too damn meta as well.
loved it, LOVED Spider-Punk, so happy my 11-year old niece loved it too (she hated Spider-Man 2099)
Had balls with that ending. Thats confidence in your product and I like that.
Wow. Sounds like this new team understood the assignment.
LMAO, those crowns.
Where’s Martin? Really wanted to hear his review as well.
10:02 Ben's death really gets overblown. He died twice on the big screen... And it only felt tired because of how lazy TASM version was. We don't need to see Ben die, but his influence 1000% *needs to be there.* That's why MCU Spidey was called _"Iron-Man Jr"_ until NWH.
i think they just mean like comics, movies, tv shows, games, etc. he’s died a lot over different properties
Movie was so good Korey is glitching too, and speaking in courage the cowardly dog. Honestly same happened to me
God the opening and closing music to this movie is so unbelievably fantastic.
pretty hyped for _mutant mayhem,_ as well
