Another fantastic Spider-man movie!

I loved it. No issues with the cliffhanger or it being a two-parter except for the wait time. Fantastic use of the medium fantastic story, great pacing etc.
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
Quippy nonsense
Guardians of the Galaxy was the only film to popularise that, and to make it funny.
Every other Marvel film followed suit, and it just felt cheaper and cheaper everytime
Marvel has been quippy since Iron Man 1. Guardians wasn’t close to the first.
Yeah I agree they sort of built a HUGE world with lots of story lines, but I have a feeling that combined with the next part it will be really awesome!
I hope so, I really enjoyed the first one, so sitting through 2h20m of setup just to not get an ending was a bit of a slap in the face. Especially since it was really just starting to get going
How does it compare to the first one. Is it better?
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)
The opening with Gwen was incredible. I have minor quibbles about where it ends as a Part One, but beyond that I really enjoyed it.
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.
The cliffhanger ending and that its a twoparter were deeply unsatisfying to me
but otherwise agreed
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.
