What a blast! The animation is so fluid it’s crazy. I liked the first one, but this one is even more impressive.
Also unexpectedly mature for such a movie.
Definitely a solid movie, can’t wait for the next one.

What did you think about it?
Perhaps an unpoppular opinion: I prefer the first one. It was such a tight and impactful story. The second one was full of marvelous animation, but to me it felt like the story was sometimes downing in the beautiful pictures.
I suspect the second will feel improved when the third comes out to finish the conclusion. It’s hard to end a movie on a cliffhanger like that.
I do agree with you, though. I like the first one better and it does feel like a tighter story. Also an amazing opening sequence that just pulls you right into the world (and is a great home audio test).
But I have no doubt that when I see the third film I’ll likely appreciate the second more.
I love both movies, but I also think the first one is better. The second movie is bigger with a lot more beautiful art styles and animation. But it’s standing on the shoulders of a giant. Into the Spiderverse is so incredible on its own. I can and have rewatched it multiple times. Anyone can watch it have a good time. The story is so well told that it’s great for Spider-man fans and those who aren’t. It’s inspiring animation films to utilize a similar comic book at style. For me, the first film edges out the second one.
Yeah, the first one was a masterpiece in timing, and balance between story/action/comedy. This second one was great, I really enjoyed it, but the action scenes and the story development scenes both dragged on a little too long. Like did they need to have the meeting with the school councilor? I feel like they already covered a lot of those same points in his Dad’s party.
There were a lot of laughs, but the laugh-per-minute ratio was lower mostly I think because the movie was longer.
Anyways, still very very enjoyable, but yeah I totally agree the first one is superior
I need to rewatch the second one. The ending left a super bad impression on me and I wasn’t in the right head space to enjoy it because of that.
Details of the ending
I saw the twist coming from a mile away. The computer locked onto Mile already, I thought it was obvious. The movie was just starting to get really really good as well. And the ending just draaaaaged on.
Also, hearing the horror stories from the studio after this one I doubt they’ll get the third out in a reasonable amount of time (originally they said mid 2024 or something). The gist is that a lot of the higher ups (director or producer, I don’t remember) want to edit and make decisions on fully animated scenes which means a lot of work gets wasted when you want to change things.
