Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review - The Top 2 Best Concept Spidey Films Now Belong To Spider-Verse

Miles Morales is back with his astonishing crossover in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I have been through all Spidey films, right from Sam Raimi's series in my childhood to the MCU's assembled version a couple of years ago. But the way Marvel and Sony designed Spider-Verse, and that too in the animation world where every impossible visual is possible, left me stunned. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) is the best Spidey flick ever, be it the concept, the screenplay, the vision, or the visuals. So obviously, expectations were high for the sequel, and was I disappointed? Hell, no. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is even more complex, intriguing, emotional, and visually gorgeous than its predecessor. It's just that originality always stays ahead, and so Into the Spider-Verse stays ahead for now. But who's behind that? Not MCU or Tom Holland or any other film, but Spider-Verse 2! I mean it.Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse takes place a year after the events of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) unexpectedly visits Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), and both hesitatingly talk about love. Soon, both learn that this meeting shouldn't have taken place as it was against the flow of the multiverse. Criss crossing one event may open doors for multiple calamities. The biggest threat this time is Spot, who has somehow gathered unbeatable powers that can destroy not one universe but many at the same time. Miles travels through a multiverse and meets a huge group of protector Spideys called Spider-society, which includes Spider-People from multiple dimensions. Their leader, Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac), knows several facts that can shatter Morales' world. However, Miles finds himself at odds with Miguel and the Spider-Society on how to handle the threat and must redefine the meaning of being a Spider-Man.The best thing about the film's writing is that I cannot tell you much to avoid spoilers. And that's the worst thing about it too, because I can't hold back my excitement about revealing plenty of details. With the given restrictions, all I can say is that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is full of surprises, fan moments, sentiments, comic banter, and moral speeches. What's more? It takes the entire money-spinner and crowd-pleaser identity of Spider-Man to a whole new level. To explain it better, I'd say it's a spidey flick with a The Dark Knight Rises theme. This is unlike anything before. Across The Spider-Verse takes the Spider-Man concept beyond your imagination, and I am quite confident that Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse will be worth this set-up and hype. Finally, we are gearing up for an intelligent and cinematically superior superhero trilogy after Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy.We can't talk about the performances since it's an animation film, as we all know that the voice cast is supposed to deliver the best to the moving pictures. Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya and Oscar Isaac have been fine as the voice cast. Many of them were associated with the predecessor, but there are some new surprises, and they are just amazing. Pavitra Prabhakar's Spidey gets the loudest cheer from Indian audiences and the dubbing version of Shubman Gill is equally good.Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a visual phenomenon in the animation world. It's a pathbreaking work if we have to look at the creativity. The characters, visual effects, action sequences, animated frames, and big-screen experience are just outstanding. You blink, and you might miss one or two breathtaking frames. It's so fast and gripping that you cannot afford to blink or even look at your popcorn or cold drink. The first half is a bit slow, though. You can finish your food in that time, I guess. But don't you dare expect a relaxing moment after intermission, because if you somehow have it, the loss is yours. Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson's teamwork is splendid. The film is unimaginably great when it comes to reviewing the concept and its presentation. The directors' trio deserves a big round of applause for that. Enough said, too much, because I can't praise it more without disclosing vital moments, so let's keep it short. Go for it; you'll come out a happier person. Start saving your bucks for the sequel already, as our superhero Milles Morales and his gang will return!
