Saw the movie today. Went in completely blind, not even realizing it was a two parter. The animation style is stunningly gorgeous and unique. Just by aesthetics alone, it was a complete joy to watch. The use of colour was fantastic, including being a perhaps subtle hint that Miles wasn't in his own universe.
The plot was fantastic. Full of the usual Spider-man quips that make his movies fun, yet also extremely touching (Gwen's moments with her dad in particular). I wasn't sure how they'd top the team of Spider-people from the first movie, but somehow they did it (with a whole freaking tower full of Spider-people).
The music was also fantastic. I'm gonna lookup a playlist for work tomorrow because there was a lot of bangers that were unfamiliar to me.
My only complaint is the lack of closure due to the "to be continued" ending. The chemistry between Miles and Gwen is great and has me excited for the sequel.
Honourable mention to the daughter of Peter B -- she's adorable.
Somehow, they managed to top the first one. And it’s the first time a cliffhanger felt appropriate. I get the feeling they couldn’t tell the story/do the art to the level they wanted to if they kept it to one movie.
Basically, rather than being a cliffhanger to sell a new movie, I think they probably made the decision the story and movie would be better split so they can really do justice to both parts.
I’m ngl, me and my friends were ready to sit there for another hour when the TBC hit. It was so good!
Right there with you. I was talking to some randos behind me and even they were like "yeah I'd be down for two more hours"
It's insane how the time just flew by and the art was amazing, loved it.
