Bring on “Beyond.MacBook Pro 13.3" Retina, MacBook Air 13" Retina, MacBook Air 13.3"(2020, M1): 2560x1600 Dual monitor: There is enough to, dare I say, marvel at while you are beaten senseless with plot. The more I consider it, the more I realize the best elements of this film make it worth seeing, if only marginally so.
That is, its sole purpose is to spew a slew of details mega-fans will care about too much and newbies and the casual fan won’t care about enough. The bottom line is that, unlike “Into the Spider-Verse,” this movie feels like the standard issue Marvel movie. I haven’t even scratched the surface of what’s going on in “Across the Spider-Verse,” and I’ve probably said too much already. When Miles discovers that universe jumping is possible, he hitches a ride with an unsuspecting Gwen.
Among other things, that power allows him to accidentally kick himself in the genitals. Miles’s Spidey also has a new nemesis, a guy named Jonathan Ohnn (Schwartzman), who possesses a very strange power Miles has inadvertently given him.
He has grown since they last met, and his Dad is about to make captain on the police force. Gwen is recruited, somewhat grudgingly, by Jessica and gets a bracelet that enables multiverse travel. These names will mean more to the fans than the casual observer, but each performer brings them to life with their voices. These include Jessica Drew (Rae) and grumpy as hell punk rocker Hobie (Kaluuya). We discover that not only is there a way to hop from world to world, the entire multiverse is policed by a group of Spideys recruited by Miguel O’Hara (Isaac). The portal that allowed the other Spideys to fall into Miles’s universe was closed at the end of the first movie when Miles destroyed Doc Ock’s collider. But Miles is in his world and there is no longer a way to hop from one universe to another. We know that, outside of Miles, Gwen is averse to bonding with anyone as a friend after Peter’s demise. Parker are the Spideys of their respective universes, and “Across the Spider-Verse” begins in hers, where her cop father thinks Spidey is responsible for the murder of her best friend. The voice acting also remains top-notch, with several cast members returning alongside newcomers like Issa Rae, Jason Schwartzman, Oscar Isaac, and a very game, very entertaining Daniel Kaluuya.Īdditionally, the screenplay by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Dave Callaham takes time from all those plot beats to further the original’s strong and complex emotional bonds between the Afro-Latino Miles, his parents Jefferson (Brian Tyree Henry) and Rio (Luna Lauren Velez), and his friends Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and Peter B.
Because despite my aggravation, I concede there is much to recommend about “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” For starters, the visuals are absolutely stunning, surpassing the original film by leaps and bounds.
