Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse2023

The hype for this movie defiantly weakened the experience for me. This movie was really good and the animation was absolutely phenomenal. Just watching some of the things happen on screen was a monumental experience and it had some of the most visually exhilarating and creative aspects of animation I’ve ever seen. I also really enjoyed the beginning of the movie where they build Miles’s character and give the audience more about him. He’s a really great character and the conflict between him and his dad was really interesting. The action scenes are also absolutely fantastic and really show the effort the animators put in. My problems lie with how overly complex the story is. For me the first movie had big stakes but it still felt really easy to follow and had a personal journey. This one felt way too big and had a really complex plot that made the film a lot less engaging from a character perspective which is what I love about spider man.  Still I think this was a great setup for the third movie
