I was hoping it was going to be two distinct story lines like infinity war and end game

That movie was like smoking PCP out of a water bong. And the water is Red Bull.

I loved the first one. I’m honestly baffled by the stellar reviews for this one. It was way too long. Waaaay too busy. You never once get a chance to breathe and take in the art or characters because it moves at the speed of The Rise of Skywalker.

Also, agree with the takes on the ending. Overall cliffhangers are fine, but you need a mini-resolution in your movie or the audience just leaves angry.

I thought the movie was fantastic. Hard for me to rank the two. The whole sequence of Miles outsmarting and beating the other “spiders” was a pleasure.

I agree. At least have some sort of resolution to something at the end of this movie, but there wasn't a resolution to anything. Even if it would've just been defeating the new Prowler character, but they didn't even finish that.

I took my 9 year old nephew and when the "to be continued" panel popped up on the screen he said "Wait what...what a ripoff".

I just saw it and I completely agree. Was it a bad movie? Not at all. And I still really liked it. But I still agree with everything you’ve said. I’ve seen people claim it’s the best superhero movie and I don’t get it. It’s not even close to the first one IMO

Gwen’s emotional arc was done much better than Miles’s was. We didn’t even really get a sense of what his arc was until the third act. And like you said just way too long and way too busy

The full movie has been on Twitter for 16+ hours.

Elon really did fire the entire Twitter moderation team

Took my 17 year old nephew and saw it yesterday. Both of us really enjoyed it but I wholly agree that it left with zero resolution in a weird way. He should have escaped prowler and was on the street somewhere with little hope of getting home at the end.

Finally watched it tonight, way too long with no resolution as already mentioned. The movie was done beautifully though.

I finally saw it tonight and loved it, but can also agree with the things in this thread, mostly.

Someone said it moved to fast and there was no chances to breath, which I completely disagree with. I thought it had a few parts that drug a little bit too much. I don’t necessarily think they needed to cut anything scene wise, maybe just clean it up a bit. Also agree with the ending. I knew there was a cliffhanger going in so it wasn’t that abrupt for me, but I would have at least liked some resolution. Though the ending with all the originals back together was awesome.

Saw it and absolutely loved it despite the BLM sticker on Miles' binder or the multi-cultural Spiderman personas.

The run time was fine with me and actually didn't feel as long as it was. I was pulled in tighter at the end when it ended to be continued. If you're an anime fan, this is something that you're quite used to (cliffhangers).

I'm very much looking forward to the next installment.

9/10 and would recommend it.

I wanna say I liked this movie more but that's probably just recency bias. But if anything, this movie made the 1st one better because of the details they literally threw at us without knowing.

Haven't done a re-watch of the first one since it was in theatres but I think I was blown away a little more with this one.

I remember walking out of the first one thinking how creative and funny it was and how it was just refreshing for a played out genre (especially Marvel). This one I left thinking it was one of the best super hero movies I'd ever seen, at least in the past couple of years. The Batman being the one I can off of the top of my head say I liked better.

I can easily see the ending being a disappointment for some. I had no idea it was going to be a trilogy but about halfway through when the Spot story took a backseat that they weren't going to have enough time to resolve that.

I was overall happy with the ending and the twist with The Prowler at the very end in particular. So in Pt. 3 you're going to have at least three villains/anti-heroes in 2099, Spot, and Miles version of The Prowler. That's something really only an animated movie can pull off. I'm looking forward to it.

The multiverse is lame unless you do it like this. It’s like 1000 comic books literally coming together on screen. On a level I’ve never seen. Not cgi Nicholas Cage trash. It’s probably only possible in an animated movie. On top of that there’s an amazing story. 10/10 film.

Just got out. I thought it was great. It definitely moved quick, but I don’t think it was too long at all.

The cliff hanger ending was rough, but at least we know the stakes going in to the next one.

Overall 9/10.

Thought the first one was great.
Thought this one was long and boring and I felt like an old man b/c the animation was way to fast. Obviously there’s no camera, but the “camera” view would change every 2 seconds the majority of the movie.
The first 25 minutes of the movie that didn’t have Miles Morales in it at all was a complete waste of time.
Miles escaping from thousands of Spider-Man’s is laughable dumb.
I just don’t care for this plot at all and it makes me not care about the characters.

And the guy stealing the ATM, give me a fricking break. “Why are you trying to stop me, it’s not even your ATM”
That’s today’s society we live in. Let me steal shite b/c it don’t even belong to you.

It's on Netflix. I just watched it.

The animation, editing, choreography is on another level. Spectacular eye-candy. The multivese storyline works perfectly here.

I did not care for the TBC ending tho. If I had known beforehand, I probably would've waited until Part Two was nearer before I would have watched this one & binged the two as a 5 hour epic.

The intermittent political comments (stale female superiority, protect trans kids, anti-capitalism, DEI/multiculturalism) were forced & completely unnecessary, but I've come to accept directors just can't help themselves & expect this as the new norm.

Just watched. Overall good movie. Just a few things that kept it being amazing to me.

1) didn’t take any points off but annoyed that Miles is wearing a long sleeve and 2 jackets when everyone else is in short sleeves
2) he left when he was grounded, horrible


Stuff that did take away from it

1) Miles running from experienced Spider-Man’s. He had no chance.
2) I don’t like Miles having plot armor powers when no one else does
3) 2nd Peter is too dumb
4) I don’t like the 10fps animations. The colors and visuals are amazing though.

8/10 for me

It’s definitely not trash, but technically Nic Cage is CGI in this movie
