Took my kids this afternoon. Agree with everything you said.
My kids are younger (9 & 11) so the ending totally confused them, with the universe “swap” and “younger prowler”…and when it ended on a cliff hanger they were not happy.
I felt the same…”what the hell?! Keep the reel going!! It can’t end like that!”
But I guess that’s a testament to a great movie….leave them wanting more!
how long do we have to wait now? Aw, man!!
Very well done. Well played, Sony.
I’ve seen it twice. Loved every minute both times.
There was definitely a lot going on. I loved it and will go back to the movie theater to watch it again and the only time I’ve done that in the past decade was with Top Gun: Maverick.
I probably missed some dialogue in SV2-part 1 because so much was going on visually (Spider-Punk was brilliant). Now I should be to absorb the dialogue because my eyes and brain won’t be so overloaded with the visual awesomeness that is SV2-part 1.
Yeah, I may have to check it out in I-max now.
Finally saw this movie, its a god damn masterpiece, one of the best comic book movies of all time.
I personally loved it even despite the cliff hanger, people are pissed and act like it ruins the rest of the movie but I think it did a good job. Gwen is the deurotaganist of this movie and so its just as important and about her as it is miles and we get some resolution with Gwen and her father with her dad quitting his job because his daughter is more important. Some people have argued that the movie is trying to say Gwen is trans, and I don’t think thats the goal but there are themes that are trans coded and I think its more about the idea of coming out to your parents whether you’re gay, trans, or just different and the idea of that fear about the anxiety and fear of coming out to your parents, in gwens case its revealing to her dad she’s spider-woman and I think her arc is handled very well by the end.
Similarly Miles also decides to come out to his mom and thats when we get the stinger that spider-man doesn’t even exist and thats not the mom he knows. While Miles arc isn’t completely done by the end I think the theme for him and similar to spot is that everyone around him sees him as weak and as a joke and underestimating him , such as the spider society and miguel seeing miles as a nuisance or an anomaly and that he shouldn’t even be spider-man and spot being seen as a goofy villain that turns out to threaten the existence of the multiverse. Miles overcoming miguel and the spider society and showing his worth as spider-man serves as a great end point and arc for him , of course there’s more to explore in the sequel but I thought with how the movie ended and the whole movie itself was brilliant.
Apparently there’s some slight differences in versions in theaters right now.The scene where Miguel first shows up in the fight with Vulture and Miguel asks Lyla for backup she gloats about calling for backup, but in the one I saw and a lot of people also saw she takes a selfie with miguel and puts a bunny ear filter on miguel. The scene where ben reilly is holdiging miles also has different dialogue in each version.
So now we have theater variants? I’ll have to find the 1:20 theater variant. Will tickets cost more?
My question is how they will release it on streaming/DVD. Will you be able to pick different tweaked versions to watch? Reminds me of the movie, “Clue,” a little bit.
Well, I guess they wanted to give the audience the true multiverse experience. Which version is the real or prime version?
If you pay 20x your ticket you get a more private viewing in a smaller side theatre of the 1:20 film variant.
Comes with free small popcorn and a drink.
I can’t wait for the 1:100 Vertical Video Variant.
Bad Idea bought the rights to show a blank screen for 2 hours.
Great read, thanks for posting! I’ve seen it 3 times and am continually amazed. May be a top 10 movie of all time for me.

Haven’t seen the boy and the heron. Anyone here have?
I guess winning it in 2019, and it being only half a movie, must’ve beat across the spider-verse’s chances.
I saw it. It was good, but not as good as Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away. I thought Spiderverse should have won. It was much more creative and the soundtrack was incredible.
Yup, it was great but yeah, like Stan mentioned, he’s got better films out there.
I watched the original Man Thing, the 2000’s Marvel Movie. First Marvel U film I have seen with female nudity. Was a pretty terrible movie though.
