I was overwhelmed! Mostly good characters. Quite good story, convincing and interesting, but with glitches... Emotionally powerful and enjoyable. Sadly Miles Morales is only Miles Morales - selfish kid who does not want to face the consequences... Music well integrated. Lots of cameos, easter eggs and jokes. Multiverse done right! Deserved 8/10... But wait: did I mention there is no end? No conclusion, no climax, just cut and TO BE CONTINUED! WT.? Very disappointing. So my rating is 4/10, I will raise it when I see the ending...… Expand

The dialogue is annoying when trying to appeal to my fellow gen z that spend all day on twitter, and it was a pain to listen to. Didn't like the ending. Besides that it was good.

I can't believe that I want to write a negative comment, but unlike the first part, which was a masterpiece, the second part performed extremely poorly. The story is boring and maybe unimportant (why unimportant? Because it is not new).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Technically good, conceptually stale. This movie does humor better than most Marvel films, the action is more similar to the comics and the animation is top notch. It is a little too much flash, visually. It distracts from the plot. The emotional tone fails. The parents are a bore and I'm not even sure there's chemistry between Miles and Gwen now? Its still weighted with agenda driven nonsense as well. It passed the time.… Expand

I think, the sequel is a victim of the success (critical, commercial and artistic) of the first installment. The producers took that success as licence for what turned out to be the content of the sequel. Four things made this experience unsatisfactory for me. The Opening scene with Gwen was boring and an ill-advised start to the movie; there were numerous scenes that could have been handled in much shorter time periods; there were too many spidermen and timelines (that there are many does not mean so many have to be crammed into one movie). The fourth, was the culmination of the first two, which took up unnecessary time, the story was not concluded in this movie, there is to be a second part. Not good. I will not take away from the movie, the fact that the things that made the first installment an outstanding movie are still there. There are two areas in the movie, where things were moved up a notch from the first; In a scene Miles and Gwen have a full fledged conversation while web-slinging, and then continue the conversation, while stationary but hanging (actually sitting) upside down from a the top of a skyscrapper. My opinion of this movie is mixed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good movie but vastly inferior to the first.

Unfortunately if you liked Spider pig or the other spidermans from the last movie, you won’t be getting them here despite the movie introducing a plethora of characters who don’t live up to the last movie’s spiderman noire/pigs

The movie still maintains that signature style from the first movie although sometimes the colors and flashing lights are a bit chaotic and the movie too heavily focuses on needless action/movement scenes. The tone of the styles also varies widely, some making my eyes hurt. Someone who has epilepsy should 100% not watch this movie. At times I felt like a horde of unicorns were vomiting in my face. Some action scenes go on for way too long with awkward comedic dialogue in between like this first time where they chase the villain who can make holes. It just dragged on and on and just had so many one line quips from this hole guy that just fell flat. I kept waiting for some sort of conclusion or wrap-up but nope, this like everything else in this movie is not concluded. Don’t get me wrong, the action scenes are great but it comes at the expense of the characters. Characters like ‘afro lady’ spiderman and punk spiderman did not connect like spiderpig, noire, etc. Spiderpunk would make cringy lines for modern 2023 audiences along the lines of ‘capitalism bad!’ And afro lady seemed to have only existed so the movie could fill their diversity quota since she had 0 personality and didnt act, dress, or look like anything attempting to be a ‘spider something’. They werent terrible but compared to the contrasting personalities of spider pig and spider noire, these characters just felt uninspired.

The end action scene of the film, which can hardly be considered a ‘climax’ unfortunately doesnt make too much sense as it says that it is canon that miles father must die, however the film completely ignores that spiderman’s uncle already died. Spiderman canonically must have some loved one die and they establish this in the first movie too, it does not need to be a captain, so it was awkward and contradicted itself when they tried to shoehorn in that ‘oh yeah miles, your dad will die because he is a captain even though your uncle already died’. What was the point of showing spider gwen and every other spiderman’s dead loved one if you are going to introduce a new concept that two loved ones must die? Why didnt spider gwen care if her captain dad died? Why is it ok that gwen just spontaneously leave her timeline and that has no timeline consequences? Why are all of mile’s spider friends suddenly uncaring a-holes who would try to stop their friend from saving his own dad? I like that peter parker has a baby now but he’s really swinging his toddler around as he does extremely dangerous stuff when this movie establishes over and over the theme of parents protecting their kids. Another awkward addition to this movie for a few attempts to make the audience go ‘awww haha the baby does spiderman stuff too’

Worst of all, the movie opens up three huge plot points and doesnt care to conclude anything! Ok ok we get another movie but at least attempt to finish something. The cliffhanger ending felt like it belonged in a TV show, not a movie that I’m watching in theaters. The movie doesnt even have anything remotely close to a climax. It just ends. When ‘to be continued’ flashed on the screen, i could hear ‘what!?’ And ‘really…’ from people in the theaters. There are good and bad ways to do cliffhangers. The empire strikes back had a cliffhanger but it still had a climax, and still concluded itself in someway to finish this chapter of star wars. Spiderman did not do this and it was just unsatisfactory. They tease a ‘final battle’ w spider pig, noire, etc and it was such a cop out and made me wonder why all of them only decide to show us at the very end. Was every character from the first movie really so indifferent to mile’s problem after they risked their lives to help him in the first movie? If yes, why deteriorate these established characters? Because the writers wrote themselves in a hole and needed to explain why everyone wouldnt just help spiderman, or why any spiderman, many who are pure hearted do-gooders, wouldnt help another spiderman save his dad.

I am saying a lot of critical stuff here but only because i love the first movie so much. A special hats off to the excellent soundtrack although sometimes i felt like the movie was made to fit the sound track and not the other way around… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, I liked this movie. Giving it a 6 only because of the cop out ending. The aesthetics and animations were absolutely stunning. They really took it to the next level in that regard. Solid character development throughout. Soundtrack was solid again. The only two complaints I have are as follows: 1) Plot - The plot did not have as much consistency as I would have liked. They claim that changing stories or preventing certain things from happening could destroy an entire universe due to it "messing up the cannon" of the world. Yet they go around from universe to universe with no issue messing up all kinds of things and cannon. So you can't let one guy die, but can have someone not named Peter Parker be Spiderman and that's totally okay? It made no sense to me. 2) The to be continued ending... That was a serious gut punch to me. I paid for a full movie from start to finish. This reeked of a cash grab to me. Easily could've wrapped up this entire plot with an extra 20 minutes of runtime or so. Now I guess I have to wait another 5 years to see how this finishes? I will not remember everything by then, and I hate rewarding movies that do this with my money so I may not actually go see the follow up. If you're okay with cliff hanger endings I recommend this movie. It's better than 95% of new content out there. I just wish the plot was a bit better.… Expand

For me it's more of the same stuff I didn't like from part one and less of the stuff I enjoyed. All around, if you enjoyed the first, you'll probably be entertained but it's nothing special. Sequel syndrome for sure.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am late to the party, I have only watched the film a few days ago. The film is fine, but it's definitely not a 10. Animation is great yes, music is great yes. Attention to details is great yes, and the story has an interesting angle.

But first, I will complain about the trailer. Honestly, it felt like i had already seen 90% of the film in the trailer, only i hadn't realized. In the trailer, you can already see that all the Spider-Men are pursing Miles and are trying to stop him, with Miguel leading the charge. So of course, while watching the film, I'm constantly waiting for this plot point to arise. Would you believe that this does not happen until at least 1 hour and a half in? Everything before is just either giving backstory, or positioning the pieces. From there, there's not that much happening. There is a final minor twist at the end (but of course, a youtuber had spoiled that for me too, even though you can see it coming). And suddenly, cliffhanger.

So, the cliffhanger deserves some criticism. I don't necessarily mind a cliffhanger in a film, a few movies pull it off well. But here, the movie simply does not solve any of its own plot lines at all and just ends there.

Back to the Future 2 also ends with a cliffhanger, but imagine if BTT2 ended before solving the almanach thing? Or imagine Infinity War ending before Thanos uses the gauntlet, or even before he gets the final gem? Or more recently imagine if Spider-Man Far from Home simply ended before the final fight with Mysterio? Those movies would feel much more incomplete, wouldnt they? It's fine to have a cliffhanger with a new story twist to set up the sequel. But not if you forgot to give the movie at least some kind of ending. The movie set up all of those plot points, but none are resolved by the end.… Expand

The consepts of multiple metaverses, Miguel, The Spot and Spider-Man(Woman)'s family problems are cool, but they all were executed as horribly as almost possible, I don’t understand why interruption of cannon event is so harmful to any of spider verses, I mean, how would it even affect anything? For example, if Miles interrupted cannon event of losing his dad or so-called “captain”, how does it affect other things? Because I don’t wanna read comics or whatever to understand why it does and I can’t believe that Miles is the only Spider-Man who tried to prevent cannon event of losing a close person. OK let’s talk about Miguel now, why didn’t he kill Miles immediately after he met him for the first time? But Miguel started to explain how meta verses work to him in almost the smallest detail. I can’t understand his role in the script, as a villain, he was already shown as a positive character, so it's not gonna work out, as an anti-hero, he’s not written good enough and doesn't create uncertainty whether he's evil or just tries to keep the metaverses in order, at first, he seems like a nice guy, but after around an hour, he appears as a possessed person whose actions defy any explanation, he must be bipolar or some other sh*t, unlike The Spot, he had motivation and good reason to become a villain, he even creates uncertainty whether he’s actually so evil and screenwriters had inorganic opportunities to unleash his potential as a villain, but they all just forgot about his existence in the second part of the movie, now about the family problems, why does Miles struggle to tell his parents that he’s Spider-Man I mean what would they do to him? Nothing bad would happen. Even though there're many scenes with Miles and his parents, they're almost all just worthless and don't broach the sudject of their relashionship good enough. I like the visual aspect of this movie though. And are you telling me that I watched this movie for 2 and a half hours just to get "To be continued" at the end? ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME?????… Expand
