Watching the first one with the kids tonight and noticed that the spider that bites Miles is shown glitching a couple of times. No idea why it never occurred to me that it was from another dimension like the other spiderpeople in the film.

Saw this today on a whim because I got tired of working and just decided to start my weekend early. I never saw the first movie of this installment so it was probably a little weird of me to choose this but nothing else looked good. I just don't care much at all for superhero movies.

But this was pretty great! I had to fight through the first hour because I kept nodding off, finally got up and took a lap outside and came back awake, and man from that point forward I was locked tf in. Really fun story and incredible visuals. The score was pretty rad too.

The end started to annoy me because it got a little "Lord of the Rings 19 endings" , but each one was well done and we even had some great surprise twists near the very end.

Jake Johnson as a voice actor made me really happy.

Flawlessly blending live action actors with the crazy animation was impressive as hell.

I'll definitely go see the conclusion next year.


Also: anyone that gets mad that people are posting minor spoilers on a movie discussion thread when the movie has already been released and they haven't seen it yet, but they are for some reason still reading the thread? Morons.

Jake Johnson is great in the first one too. You need to see it asap.

I gotta say, the second time is much better.

Finally saw it last night. Love it!

Personally, the first one is one of my all-time favorite movies (judge me accordingly, I don't care - but that "what's up danger" sequence is simply incredible to me). This one has not surpassed it, but I think there is a lot to unpack and it will require multiple viewings.

My deepest apologies that you have to move your finger for a few extra seconds to scroll past some extra posts, on a single night, just one time in, like, every other blockbuster movie thread. I can only imagine how harrowing that must be, and how tired your finger must get.

Seriously, though, "meaningless" is subjective, people here ask me all the time when reactions are dropping, and not everyone wants to go sifting through Twitter to find them. Also, I don't find that they "distract" from discussion at all, seeing as they're often one of the main drivers of discussion, in the week or two leading up to a release.

I personally love seeing teh consolidated responses from twitterverse… I don't twit so it's nice to see without twitting.

I saw it last night, and this afternoon. I think I have a problem.

I am glad I know what chai means now....

Oh, I love chai tea!

I watched Across the Spider-verse on a flight last night and loved it.

It might not be as good as the first one, but that's no insult. Into the Spider-verse was one of the best surprise movies of the past decade. Part II was a fun ride and I'd forgotten a third movie is planned, so the cliff hanger ending was a delightful surprise. I love the way they let family and friend relationships carry this story. Despite being a massive multiversal scope, the relationships at the heart of Across the Spider-Verse make it feel refreshingly grounded compared to other super hero movies that are increasingly lost in the spectacle of foiling the latest villainous plan.
