BBFC advice: Contains mild threat, violence, injury detail, language
I didn't watch the previous Spider-Man animation because I thought it would be a poor man's version of the Marvel films.
I put right that wrong with its follow-up, and I am glad I did.
This is vibrant movie-making that pushes cinematic boundaries but does not forsake high-quality storytelling.
Its action sequences are dazzling and are complemented by impressive character exploration and meaningful moral messages.
My only beef is that it is yet another 2023 film that doesn't have an ending. Thankfully, in this instance, we will only have to wait until March next year for the sequel.
Spider-man Across The Spider-verse focuses on life after Peter Parker for the troubled Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and Miles Morales (Shameik Moore).
They both have issues at home and struggle to reveal their Spidey identity to their parents while trying to protect their respective cities' citizens from bad guys.
Meanwhile, Gwen's police captain father (Shea Whigham) is ironically searching for Spider-girl, not realising it is his daughter.
And Miles is faced by a nemesis known as The Spot (Jason Schwartzman) - a transdimensional superbeing who drifts through wormholes he creates.
Indeed, their fight to the death threatens his family and takes them through parallel universes, which have their own versions of Spider-man.
I found surprised myself by finding Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson's film vibrant, exciting and engaging.
Indeed, I was willing Miles and Gwen on as they faced long odds to save their nearest and dearest and not just one but many worlds.
Unfortunately, I must wait for the outcome, but I still heartily recommend this picture.

Did you know? A record 1,000 animators worked on Across the Spider-Verse animators but 100 reportedly quit because of an 11-hour, seven-day working week.
The final word. Justin K. Thompson: "I think we’re at the leading edge [of animation], and we do think of ourselves as the leading edge. Everybody can copy us all they want. But, for us, it was like, “Yeah, we did that! Now let’s do the next thing, right? What would excite us now?” Discussing Film
