"Taking a crap in the establishment, I salute you."
Across the Spider-Verse is everything I want from a Spider-Man movie. It's got heart, soul, emotion, memorable characters, and exciting action set pieces.
If the third movie is fantastic, we are in for another amazing trilogy. These movies are taking animation to another level.
However, my favourite part of the film is the opening scene with Gwen Stacy, as we get more character from her, where she is emotionally vulnerable and how she uses quips as more of an emotional façade than genuine banter. The score is so beautiful and badass, which also adds to her character, as the music conveys how alone and full of remorse she is, someone who carries a lot of pain inside. The scene between her and her father was so moving. I loved the world of Spider-Gwen with the pastel art style of the animation.
So yeah, great movie. Bring on the third one!
