Just saw Across the Spiderverse and was blown away. As things stand I think it's my favourite non-Avengers superhero movie. And I wasn't alone in that opinion. Also I saw it on an Onyx screen (LED screen instead of a projector) and, man, if you can, see it on one of those. Some scenes just pop

That movie was awesome, but I have to admit knowing it was a 2-parter beforehand made me keep going "And... this is where it ends!" throughout the entire final 45 minutes or so

Across the Spider-Verse was loving incredible. The theater goddamn erupted at the "to be continued" though, lmao. The various references to other Spider-properties also got big reactions, especially the Prowler cameo in the middle.

Goddamn that loving ruled. Like they looked back at the first movie hearing people say it changed the game for animated movies and went "that wasn't even our final form." Very glad I knew going in that it was only a Part 1 though. I would have been one of those disappointed groaners if not. Also, Ganke was totally playing the new unreleased Spider-Man 2 game for a bit. Footage we hadn't seen yet.

Unreal movie. More visually impressive than Avatar 2 and made NWH look like dogshit. The scene with Miles and Gwen sitting upside down on the skyscraper ledge gave me goosebumps: one of the best Spider-people moments in all media.

Flash was a fun movie, but Spiderverse outclasses it in every way. If Michael Keaton drags Flash to a better box office, I’m going to be disappointed.

Was the dialogue really low for you guys? I was having the hardest time hearing what people were saying but the music was crystal clear and loud. I thought it was just my screening but I've had friends tell me the same.

I did appreciate how the new one foregrounds Miles' relationship with Rio, even a little more than with his dad. It felt like she was barely in the first film. And yeah, this one is VERY episodic. First 20 minutes is basically a Spider-Gwen film, then the next 20-30 is a Miles movie, and THEN the multiverse stuff starts in earnest. I also think it puts a hat on a hat a little towards the end and tries to set up the cliffhanger like 3 times when it would've been fine to end the movie 5 minutes earlier. Sequel speculation based on plot stuff:So the twist is gonna be that Miguel 'breaking canon' had nothing to do with why that world imploded, it was because he didn't act as Spider-Man to stop the collider or whatever in that world, right? Basically abandoned the 'great power/responsibility' creed, which Miles is refusing to do. Cameo: So Gambino is MCU Prowler for realsies?

Maybe it's just a problem at my theater. There was this weird filter on the dialogue in my screening that made everything sound low and somewhat distorted. At first I thought it was just how things sounded in Gwen's world, but then it was like that for every world.

Are you sure that was the mix, or was it Kaluuya going all in on the south-east London accent and slang? EDIT: I am a little bummed at how hard they're going on the 'all the Spider-peeps are along' thing, when Miles usually has Ganke and sometimes other characters in his book, and at least early on Gwen was close with her friends like MJ in her band. Like, Spider-Man is not a loner, he's not frickin' Batman.

For anyone who saw the 90s TAS and knows how big of a deal the Neogenic Recombinator was for one whole season, I'm reminded of that with how it seems the Collider is central to this whole Miles trilogy.JT Smiley posted:Was the dialogue really low for you guys? I was having the hardest time hearing what people were saying but the music was crystal clear and loud. I thought it was just my screening but I've had friends tell me the same. Supposedly it's a theatre-by-theatre thing. What didn't help is that the voiceovers have an echo effect added. Gaz-L posted:I also think it puts a hat on a hat a little towards the end and tries to set up the cliffhanger like 3 times when it would've been fine to end the movie 5 minutes earlier. I really liked the ending. Spoilers for the ending of this film and oddly enough, the new Fast & Furious: The main problem of the film is a classic Trolley Problem so we get this tough question of how Miles is supposed to win overall, and the movie gives us a glimmer of hope with Capt. Stacy's resignation but then the threats are layered on again with Miles being out of his dimension, and up against himself, and a reminder that Spot is now like an Avengers-tier bad guy. The deck is crazily stacked against him with multiple tough problems whereas the ending of Fast X was really just on the level of a TV show episode. Like, he saves his kid from the flood and that's it. Once he gets out of that situation in the first five minutes he's left with the task of talking down Dante and that doesn't seem that big of a deal.

From a purely artistic standpoint, Spider-verse makes every other 3D animated movie look like dogshit in comparison. In the normally quite reserved Scottish cinema I saw the movie in, live-action prowler got a huge reaction from the audience. The little editors notes and Ben Riley were probably my favourite little things.

I agree with that assessment for the most part, I just think the movie establishes those things about 3-4 times in that sequence and I got Return Of The King vibes.

I thought Arcane was personally the best looking animated thing I've ever seen, but Across the Spiderverse is just on a completely different level than even that. Than even the first movie! I appreciate that things like Arcane, Puss in Boots, and the new TMNT are trying to push the medium of course, all of those look amazing, but now I want every animation studio to look at ATS and at least make an attempt to go that hard. I was actually pretty okay with how Wish looked when Disney first showed the trailer, but now I'm going to be judging it, maybe unfairly, against this movie and it's not even gonna be close. No other animated thing comes close to this

I think the core of the third film is going to be that Miles can’t have a canon event if he himself isn’t canon E: saw 60s Spidey and Spectacular Spidey, obviously, but no 90s Spidey? Sockser fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Jun 3, 2023 |

In terms of pure maximalism, go-for-broke storytelling, the movie AtSV most reminds me of is, honestly, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and I'm emphatically not saying that because of the similar multiverse plots.

AtSV is the first time I’ve been tempted to see a movie in the theater twice since the first Avengers. The character design in just the Museum scene was enough to tempt me. Maybe it’s on an IMAX around here somewhere.

Gaz-L posted:I'm saying having all your friends be work friends is not a good thing. It straight-up sucks that the MCU stole Ganke to give to Peter but since Homecoming and ITSV development overlapped I don't know if it actually had a part to play in downgrading Ganke to barely more than an extra. But Peter was also slow to have friends. He didn't meet Harry until college and in the Ultimate comics his friend was also the love interest, which is what they're doing here with Miles as well.

One thing I will say about the ending is that I thought the reveal was a little bit too drawn out considering you see the Go Home machine display showing that he's going to Earth 42.

I'm jealous of my wife who went into the movie totally blind and got to enjoy it fresh. She was tearing up at Rio's talk with Miles and it didn't hit me as hard cause I'd already seen it from the first trailer. Definitely going radio silent for part 2.

Just back from a Batman 89/The Flash double bill. Against all my expectations, I rather enjoyed The Flash. A fun time travel romp although yeah, it is guilty of CG overload in the final act as these things are wont to do these days but can’t deny kid me was kinda thrilled to see my man back in action again. And Ezra does well with emotional centre and the twin Barrys bouncing off each other. Oddly enough, they said it may not be the final film - talking about cutting it close, goddamn. As for the Q&A, I got the distinct impression Michael Keaton was suffering from CG and greenscreen fatigue too because he sounded super happy about all the practical stuff and puppetry they’re doing with Beetlejuice again, said it’s the most fun he’s had in years.

Can it be March 2024 right the gently caress now Probably going to have to go through the same thing again in a month with Mission Impossible. At least Dune is wrapping up this year. Anyway, movie goddamn ruled, and if the third part sticks the landing (and I don't see why it wouldn't) this will be an all time great trilogy. Not much to say that others haven't, this was just a joy to watch, excellently animated, and my audience was really into it too. Saw it in Dolby so audio generally wasn't an issue, but even then Hobie could be difficult to pick up on at times so I think that might be the movie's mixing issue.
