Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Film Review

<p>Oh dear, I'm not making any friends with this one (and for the record, I gave the original a great score). Along with GOTG3, one of only two MCU (or even comic-book/superhero movie) bright-spots post Endgame and the most loved with both critics and audiences in years. Thanks, I hated it. The story takes an hour and a half to even properly start, and then it's just "to be continued". WTF!? NOTHING HAPPENS. And the highly praised visuals are sometimes 10/10 inspired and sometimes gratingly jerky and appallingly, Michael Bay style, over-edited. But the lack of story is unforgivable.</p>
