Ms. Fenris Watches "Across The Spider-Verse"
2 years ago
Across the Spider-Verse is so fucking good that I didn't even make a review for it because I assumed you all knew how fucking good it was already, either because you'd seen it and knew how fucking good it is, or heard a friend/reviewer/critic telling you how fucking good it is.
But hey, why not add my own voice to the chorus. It's fucking good.
What else can I say that literally everyone else isn't already saying? It looks good, it sounds good, the characters are good, it's funny, it's dramatic, it's got me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one to come out. So many other movies are failing right now (or SHOULD be failing, because they're so obnoxious and uninspired) because they just pretend to be about something or PRETEND to have a good story, when all they're really about is trying to be famous or make money. But here's Across the Spider-Verse just fuckin' doing it, makin' great art, having a good story, squirtin' in little moments of subtext, playing with genre tropes, and giving me a good time and making me feel good while it's doing all of it.
So, yeah. If you haven't seen it, go see it (Unless you also haven't seen the first one, "Into the Spider-Verse", in which case, go see that one first, then find and watch Across the Spider-Verse).
Here's my favorite bit of music from it.

And then it just… stopped. TO BE CONTINUED. I don’t think I’ll be there for the sequel, unless I hear that it was actually made at a union shop; the stories that came out about how much of a giant mess production was basically make the part of me that spent a decade on the edges of the animation industry want to join a picket line.
Gorgeous but… it just went all hollow for me halfway through.
And it was! It was that fucking good.
