What is the greatest Spider-Man film ever made? Some would argue that it’s Spider-Man 2, which came out in 2004 and is still regarded as one of the best movies of all time. Others might defend the 2021 multiverse team-up Spider-Man: No Way Home, which profited handsomely from a massive wave of nostalgia. Now that the reviews for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are out, things are looking very promising for its character, (Miles Morales’) ongoing adventures.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse stunned audiences five years ago with its ground-breaking animation, engaging multiverse story, and heart-stopping soundtrack. It didn’t just take home the Best Animated Feature Oscar; it also revolutionized animated film. How could a sequel even try to equal, much less top, that ground-breaking comic book movie?

Is It Among The Best Movie Sequels Of All Time?

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse immerses the audience in an incredible number of worlds, each with its own animation style and tone, in addition to this impressive balance of characters. We see worlds like the sci-fi Spider-Man 2099 universe, a world that resembles a comic book even more, to name a few.

This opens up an almost limitless number of possibilities. Each universe is fascinating in its own unique way, and Across the Spider-Verse is horribly brilliant in the way it seamlessly weaves all these creative ideas together that make narrative sense.
