FIRST TIME WATCHING SPIDER MAN ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE PART 1

*Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse* (2023) isn’t just a sequel—it’s a full-blown multiversal mic drop*. Picking up where *Into the Spider-Verse left off, this film doesn’t waste time easing you in. It grabs you by the web-shooters and hurls you through a kaleidoscope of dimensions, emotions, and animation styles so inventive they make the first movie look like a warm-up sketch. Miles Morales is back, older, wiser, and more grounded—but also more isolated, stuck between being the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and a teenager just trying to live his life. When Gwen Stacy re-enters the picture with a secret and a multiverse-hopping invitation, Miles finds himself tangled in a conflict far bigger than anything he’s faced—one that pits him against the very idea of what a Spider-Man should be. And that’s where things get wild. The film explodes with visual creativity. Every universe has its own art style, color palette, and rhythm—from watercolors that bleed with emotion to sketchbook scratchiness and kinetic 3D collage. It’s not just eye candy—it’s eye buffet*. And yet, despite how overwhelming it *could be, it never loses track of its story or heart. The animation serves the emotion, not the other way around. Shameik Moore continues to anchor Miles with honesty and vulnerability, while Hailee Steinfeld gives Gwen the depth and agency she richly deserves. Oscar Isaac brings a brooding intensity to Miguel O’Hara (Spider-Man 2099), who may or may not be the multiverse’s most overworked HR manager. And Jason Schwartzman as The Spot starts out as a joke—until he’s not, and then suddenly you realize you’ve been watching a villain origin story worthy of classic Spidey lore. But what really makes *Across the Spider-Verse* land is how personal it feels. It’s about identity, expectation, family, and forging your own path—even if it means breaking every “canon event” you’re told you have to follow. It’s meta without being smug, emotional without being saccharine, and so relentlessly ambitious that it makes most other superhero films look like they’re barely trying. Yes, it ends on a cliffhanger. Yes, it leaves you clawing at the armrest for the next film. But if Into the Spider-Verse kicked the door open, *Across the Spider-Verse* just knocked down the whole damn building and spray-painted “Miles was here” on the rubble. A genre-defining, expectation-defying masterpiece.
