Though this is a set-up for 2024’s SPIDER-MAN: BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE, SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE certainly had big shoes to fill as a follow-up to 2018’s Oscar-winning SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE. And does it ever exceed expectations. It was almost impossible to look away as each frame is packed with so much astonishing detail, that surely a blink results in a miss.
The directing trio of Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson take us spider versus spider in this latest installment as Mile Morales (Shameik Moore) travels across the Multiverse, encountering a team of Spider-People who are tasked with protecting it. He’s faced with realizing his own identity as a superhero, while these Spider-People feud over how to handle an imposing new threat.
SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is equal parts substance as it is spectacle and the only unfortunate thing about it is that we’re left hanging. But what a cinematic feat this is. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Canada release this Blockbuster, available now on Digital and 4K UHD and BLU-RAY™. Our theatrical review here.
