Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
It’s hard to express the beauty of this film if you haven’t gone to the cinema and experienced it. Words won’t do it justice as to how incredible the framework is. The beauty, precision, passion and intelligence used into the cinematography bursting with colour and detail. The camerawork was also spellbinding and I loved the ever so often flipping in different types of animation. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
I was a little annoyed to have to wait another year on top of the already delayed due-date due to covid, as the directors felt like they could enhance the film even more. But, I’m glad they did because you really get the feel for the effort and time put into this.
The pacing reminds me a lot of ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, in that quite literally everything gets chucked at you. 462
The humour, action, information and tension, at fast past and in full swing. But it also knows when to dim the flow and produce poignant and heartwarming moments into the mix. The voice acting all around was great, the sound design really amped and set the sequences atmosphere and mood. And I loved how many film and other Spider-Man references were randomly made.
While i had an absolute blast, the storyline doesn’t have the best rhythm, and a few times I felt a little lost in the story. However the highs completely outweighed the lows, and the ending was unexpectedly dark and thrilling, which was the right way to go about where the story was heading.
It’s hard to not get into too much detail without giving too much away, but it’s worthy of the hype. I do feel the ratings are a little too high, but I’ll still settle for a 9/10. 583
