'Across the Spiderverse' Is the Best-Looking Movie of the Year (So Far!)
Re: Spiderman
The look of the various scenes, especially those in the first portion of the film involving Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider) was stunning.
However, I will say that ending on a cliffhanger after putting the viewer through 2 hours and 20 minutes is brutal.
On Spidermens. Beautiful movie but Sonny you are not alone in feeling like this was half a movie. The amount of people in my theater who gasped and groaned when we got the to be continued was high.
Also doesn’t Spider Gwen deviate enough from the standard spider canon established in this movie that she would also qualify as a anomaly?
Unrelated but flash movie looks so ugly. The trailer before spider verse made some of the action look like it came from the CW Arrow verse.
