Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

 


   The animated sequel to "Into the Spider-Verse" finds Miles Morales, drawn (no pun intended) once again into the Spider-Verse by Gwen Stacy aka Spider-Girl.

    This is a wild ride strictly for fans. You will be as lost as Miles becomes if you are not familiar with this world or mythology. If you are a fan, you have been anxiously awaiting this sequel and will not be disappointed.

    The animation is terrific, mixing many different styles to create a psychedelic ride through this multi-verse of Spider-characters. There are inside jokes and references to the comics throughout the film. The vocal work of it's cast is excellent matching their characters perfectly.

    Shameik Moore is Miles Morales, Hailee Steinfeld is Gwen Stacy, Brian Tyree Henry is Miles's dad, Luna Lauren Velez is his mom, Kae Johnson is Peter Parker, Jason Schwartzman is "The Spot", Issa Rae is Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman, Daniel Kaluuya is Hobie (a British punk version of Spider-Man), and Oscar Isaac is Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099.  

     Fair warning, this is the middle film in a planned trilogy and ends "to be continued". This seems to be the new Hollywood trend as we've already seen "Fast X" to be continued and the upcoming "Mission Impossible" has Part One right in it's title.
