How many more Spider-Man movies do we have to see? It’s convenient to be skeptical about ‘Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’ given the state of superhero movies. But there aren’t enough words to describe the razzle-dazzle of the experience the film turns out to be. Once again, Sony nails the treatment of the contentious IP by presenting a snazzier telling of the Spider-Man myth that keeps you invested.
There are post or mid-credits scenes in ‘Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse,’ but the animated film ends on a cliffhanger. The web-slinging hero of the Earth-1610 finds himself in the wrong reality, one where Miles Morales leads a criminal life, moonlighting as the Prowler. To get to how Miles finds himself a prisoner of Earth-42 version of himself, we’ll have to start again from the beginning—origin story style.
