Everyone Is Talking About “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse” And What A Cinematic Masterpiece It Is

After a five-year wait, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse has finally been released — and honestly, not many sequels can stand up to the spark of the original, but this film delivers on every single level.

I will sign any petition supporting a spin-off with Hobie because he is just THAT good of a character.

As well as Spider-Man India, aka Pavitr Prabhakar who is voiced by Karan Soni.

Being Indian myself, I have a soft spot for Pavitr. His character was not only cool and hilarious, but there were so many beautiful homages to Indian culture (including his Spidey costume). And, of course, one of the highlights with Pavitr has to be him calling out the people who say “chai tea” — because if you’re not already aware, “chai” means “tea” in Hindi…so you’re saying “tea tea”. Same goes for “naan bread”. 

Collectively, this team is known as the Spider-Society and they’re led by Spider-Man 2099, aka Miguel O’Hara (you’ll recognise him from the end credit scene of the first film), who is voiced by Oscar Isaac.

At first, Miles is elated at the opportunity to be part of a multiverse Spider-Man gang, but our Spidey heroes soon clash over how to handle a new threat to the multiverse.

Frankly, I’m obsessed with Across The Spider-Verse. There are several different animation styles featured in the film — and each one is a breathtaking work of art. The voice acting is sublime, the characters are multi-faceted, the action sequences are electric and, my word, the storyline is the perfect balance of emotional depth and perfectly timed comic relief.

Now, I could go on forever, but here’s what everyone else has been saying about Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.

Basically, we’re all in agreement that this film is a cinematic masterpiece and that its cast and crew deserve ALL of the awards.

P.S. There are obviously some major spoilers ahead!

Just got out of #AcrossTheSpiderVerse Words cannot describe what I just witnessed. This was ART. The visuals, the sound design, the story, the pacing. All of it was on point. I have so much respect for every artist that worked on this movie. Each frame was an art piece. 10/10 pic.twitter.com/KxbBRkjpzF

#AcrossTheSpiderVerse is one of the greatest sequels ever made and one of the greatest films l’ve seen! Better than the first film, it breaks new ground for animation and is a genuine work of art. It’s the best film of the year and DESERVES a Best Picture nomination! I’m in awe. pic.twitter.com/v0rZ8N5NzC

I’ve now seen #AcrossTheSpiderVerse twice and I can without hesitancy that it is one of the greatest feats of filmmaking I’ve ever bore witness to. No matter what angle you approach this film from, you can see that it is a bastion of possibilities of film. It is the future. pic.twitter.com/g0Xtodkkkm

I’m speechless. I genuinely can’t believe what I just witnessed. Not only is #AcrossTheSpiderVerse a phenomenal feat in visual animation and multi-faceted storytelling, but it’s a genuine love letter to Spider-Man as a whole. ??Mainly, Miles Morales. He. IS.

Across the Spider-Verse was everything I wanted plus more. Miles is given an arc that can only be described as spectacular. The animation is phenomenal, the action is electric, and overall is an absolute joy to watch. I can’t wait for the next one. #AcrossTheSpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/RSJW0spIv2

#AcrossTheSpiderVerse is an absolute triumph. Miles and Gwen are INCREDIBLE characters, and this film is a testament to how powerful animation can be… The visuals seamlessly weave with the story to create a beautiful experience. THIS is how you make a comic book movie. Stunned. pic.twitter.com/6GuZoXK2AF

#AcrossTheSpiderVerse 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. pic.twitter.com/maYL97vAeg
