Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse First Reactions: How Are The Spider-Verse Movies So Good?
Brian David (The Hollywood Reporter) –“‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ is yet another resounding win for the Lord Miller-produced universe. Hailee Steinfeld really comes into her own as Gwen Stacy, and her scenes with Shea Whigham’s Captain Stacy are truly special. It’s darker and sadder than I expected, but necessary.”
Sean O’Connell (CinemaBlend) – “OK. ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ lives one step above Masterpiece. It’s an actual work of art. Every frame deserves to be hung in a museum. The jokes and nods to Spidey lore are perfect. It’s OUTSTANDING. The best Spider-Man movie. Might be my favorite movie ever. Cherish it.”
Drew Taylor (The Wrap) – “‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ is a stunning achievement. Yes, it’s visually dazzling, with expansive, expressive new realms (Gwen’s world is my favorite). But the movie’s real superpower is its emotional depth and its beautiful, melancholic tone. I love this movie so, so much.”
Coy Jandreau (The Reel Rejects) – “‘Across the Spider-Verse’ is the reason I love comics. It’s hugely impactful It can only truly be told in this medium. It’s drama & comedy and action and spectacle with the most heart I can imagine put into two hours Call me hyperbolic, one of the best films I have ever experienced.”
Steven Weintraub (Collider) – “Absolutely loved ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.’ Wanted to push pause about a hundred times to study the incredible artistry on display. Cannot recommend this film enough and already looking forward to seeing it again. Next time in IMAX!”
Andrew Salazar (Discussing Films) – “‘Across the Spider-Verse’ is yet another milestone for animation. Yes it’s gorgeous & visually mind-blowing, but this sequel surpasses the first for always putting Miles AND his family front and center. Spider-Gwen also rightfully steps deeper into the spotlight, co-owning the film.”
“This feels like a massive celebration for Spider-Man fans everywhere, whether you love the movies, games, comics, etc. But again, all the cameos and multiversal elements come SECOND to both Miles and Gwen’s story. For my money, this could be the best comic-book movie of 2023.”
Brandon Davis (ComicBook.com) – “‘Across the Spider-Verse is simply an incredible accomplishment. It’s stunning but also very much an unfinished story by its end. Visually, it’s such a stunning achievement. It’s everything a Spider-Man fan could ask for and much more. So good, it’s hard to believe it exists.”
“What the ‘Spider-Verse’ movies are doing with their multiverse storytelling visually and thematically is putting every other super hero movies’ attempts to shame, with ‘The Flash’ being the closest second but still behind it.”
Joe Deckelmeier (ScreenRant) – “The hype is real! Every frame of ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ is gorgeous. I didn’t want to blink because I didn’t want to miss anything. You can watch this film over & over & finds something new to enjoy. There are some surprises in this film that I truly wasn’t expecting.”
Kevin Polowy (Yahoo Enterntaiment) – “It’s honestly absurd how good the ‘Spider-Verse’ movies are. ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ is just as great, if not better than ‘Into the Spider-Verse.’ I really don’t know how.”
Eric Goldman (Fandom) – “I am very happy to say that ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ is fantastic! Deftly juggles deeply heartfelt character beats with crazy multiverse content just packed with so many delightful Easter eggs. Loved how Gwen’s story is expanded. Can’t wait for the third one.”
The sequel stars Oscar Isaac, Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson and Issa Rae in prominent roles. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will releasing in theatres on 2nd June 2023.
