    A new modern animated classic
    Who would've thought the bagel guy from the first movie would become one of the most interesting villains in this movie? Not me! This film is fantastic; the animation is such eye candy to look at; every shot is spectacular; and the characters are fleshed out and feel human-like in the first film.

    Another thing I like is the multiverse aspect. I know that it has started to feel overdone due to Marvel and other film franchises starting to use that for their storylines, but this felt fresh and original, and was one of the first to do it, so I cut them some slack.

    This film is also emotional and introduces the term "Canon Event" which means an event you can't stop. A character loses a loved one, and it makes them shut in and won't talk to anyone, which I know is an overdone trope, but I rolled with it. Finally, the cinematography was substantial, with many nice shots to look out and neat and creative transitions.

    So, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is a marvelous feat in animation filmmaking and a film that I think everyone should check out if they want to have their time and money well spent by watching this masterpiece.

    The only problem is having to wait for the next part
    This was great. Just spectacular. Great story. Great characters. Good dynamics. Great stakes. Amazing animation. This helped push the boundaries of what western animation could accomplish and I think showed many they could step up their game in the animation field. My only hope is that studios take the right lessons from this and learn from this masterpiece which came together like a great stew with a whole lot of ingredients that blend together seamlessly into an amazing experience they couldn't be on their own. The music was good accentuating the action and story. The use of color was skillful perfect at conveying themes and emotions. Every part of this film felt purposeful and impactful.
