So I went to see Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse on Sunday and it was DOPE, and also Black AF (I wanted to emphasise that because it meant a lot to me). It was easily the best looking animated movie I’ve ever seen and therefore the best. Apparently, it took 4 years to make one of the chase scenes and I’m not surprised. I enjoyed the story and how things were twisted and augmented across the Spider-Verse (as to be expected) and all the voice actors were stellar, including Daniel Kaluuya as Spider-Punk (how is he that effortlessly good?) I need to screenshot like every second of that movie for desktop backgrounds when I get a copy. The only let down was how the film ended on a cliffhanger, without enough of a build-up for it not to disappoint me. But I can wait—not like I have a choice—and I can revisit Across The Spider-Verse and take in the visual majesty of it all.
In terms of other people’s links, Dom Griffin made a video review of the film which is worth your time (as always) and here’s the Chinese poster for the movie, which is stunning.
