First Reactions For SPIDER-MAN: ACORSS THE SPIDER-VERSE and It Looks Like We Have Another Winner!

The first reactions for Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse have started hitting social media, and it looks like the creative team behind the franchise has delivered another awesome Spider-Verse movie! The first film, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, rose the bar for animation and comic book movies, and I was really hoping that this sequel would at least attain that same level of awesomeness, and it sounds like it might actually be a better movie!

Check out what critics are saying about the film below and let us know if their praise for the film is gets you more excited about the movie!

Across the #SpiderVerse is simply an incredible accomplishment. It’s stunning but also very much an unfinished story by its end.

Visually, it’s such a stunning achievement. It’s everything a #SpiderMan fan could ask for and much more.

So good, it’s hard to believe it exists. pic.twitter.com/HLtQwQw8LB

#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse is a MUST-SEE movie.

Everything you loved about the first Spider-Verse is here, if not even better in certain aspects of the film.

#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse lives up to the hype in every conceivable way!

Miles Morales absolutely shines in his second Marvel movie adventure. Gwen Stacy takes her place at the head of this table too. Tons of heart on display in every corner of this one. pic.twitter.com/7SFbpOqhKA

#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse is a stunning achievement. Yes, it’s visually dazzling, with expansive, expressive new realms (Gwen’s world is my favorite). But the movie’s real superpower is its emotional depth and its beautiful, melancholic tone. I love this movie so, so much 🕷️ pic.twitter.com/ofHvWCrNqy

#AcrossTheSpiderVerse is yet another milestone for animation. Yes it's gorgeous & visually mind-blowing, but this sequel surpasses the first for always putting Miles AND his family front and center.

Spider-Gwen also rightfully steps deeper into the spotlight, co-owning the film. pic.twitter.com/maYL97vAeg

SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE is not surprisingly terrific. It’s a bigger story, spread out over this movie and next, but it’s still about Miles just wanting to be accepted for who he is. (There are *a lot* of Spider-People in this movie.) I laughed out loud like 8 times

There are shocking twists, unexpected surprises, and a story that truly makes sense for the crazy multiverse world that we have all jumped head first in to. The new Spider-People are all amazing! Across the Spider-Verse never feels it's length.#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse pic.twitter.com/y8qZjTzeLf

Hands down, #AcrossTheSpiderVerse is real deal. Visually unlike anything you will see in a theater this year - it very much feels like the BACK TO THE FUTURE II of the series. A middle chapter that's weird & funky & shocking, but also the ultimate #SpiderMan experience. It rocks! pic.twitter.com/TNvoIF6Wio

The moment SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE ended, I knew I'd experienced a cinematic moment I'd cherish forever.

If INTO is A NEW HOPE, this is EMPIRE - darker, more powerful and better in every way.

It's going to be a LONG wait until March '24.

HOW DOES THIS MOVIE EXIST?! pic.twitter.com/5KD8puRXMD

Absolutely loved #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse. Wanted to push pause about a hundred times to study the incredible artistry on display. Cannot recommend this film enough and already looking forward to seeing it again. Next time in @IMAX! pic.twitter.com/R4dQFQwSpH

What the #SpiderVerse movies are doing with their multiverse storytelling visually and thematically is putting every other super hero movies’ attempts to shame, with #TheFlash being the closest second but still behind it. pic.twitter.com/FohB54vGMM

The sequel follows Miles Morales as he is “plunged into the multiverse where he joins forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-folks to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered.”

After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, “Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.”

The cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen, Brian Tyree Henry as Miles’ dad, Jefferson Davis; Luna Lauren Velez as Miles’ mom, Rio Morales; Issa Rae as Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman; Jorma Taccone as Vulture; Rachel Dratch; Shea Whigham; Greta Lee; and Jason Schwartzman as the villain Spot. Andy Samberg also recently joined the cast.

The movie will also introduce multiple universes including Gwen’s Earth-65, with its distinctive watercolor palette; the India-inspired Mumbattan; Nueva York, the home of Oscar Isaac’s Spider-Man 2099, aka Miguel O’Hara; the punky New London, inhabited by Daniel Kaluuya’s Hobart “Hobie” Brown, a.k.a. Spider-Punk; and then there’s a secretive fifth dimension that’s being kept tightly under wraps for now.

The movie is being directed and produced by Justin K. Thompson, Joaquim Dos Santos, and Kemp Powers. Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Christina Steinberg are also producing. Lord and Miller will also be credited as writers on the film, along with David Callaham.

The movie is set to be released on June 2nd, 2023!
