Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant animation! The last time there was anything like this was five years ago, really, but more importantly: Brilliant story! An animated film that can leave at least eight live action films featuring Spider-Man biting the dust, that’s something you must see. Every joke, every dialogue, every character, every action scene has its place. At first, I was scared that the movie ran two hours and twenty, but when it was over, I felt it wasn't enough. So I'm looking forward to the third part immensely (as if I wouldn’t after that finale), and given how packed this one is, I've definitely got something to keep me entertained until the premiere.

This unbelievably rich animated comic-book movie draws from a deliberate sense of detachment, internet memes, pop-culture references, the long history of comic books and the sense of refinement with which its creators approach the frenetic action scenes and work with the characters. Despite its ultra-brisk pace, abundance of gags and wealth of dynamic action, the thrilling audio-visual feast packed with imaginative details maintains, through the story of two young superheroes and their family background, a serious dramatic level highlighting the quiet emotions and slower dialogue passages built on family relationships and the themes of fatefulness, growing up and the struggle against predestination.

There have been plenty of films about parallel worlds lately, and I'm glad that the second animated Spider-Man doesn't just rip off its predecessors, but like the first one, forges its own path, especially thanks to the phenomenal art styling that goes hand in hand with the engaging story. The imagination of the artists has no limits in this sequel, and you witness a visual concert with several types of animation, as well as live-action (I liked the nostalgic connection to the previous Spider-Men). As I said before, the film also benefits from a story that, in addition to parallel dimensions, works with the rewarding motif of the inevitability of fate, making the viewer think and not just watch mindlessly, as is often the case with animation. The film gets off to a bit of a slow start, but I commend the fact that there was a certain recapitulation of the first film, five years after which the plot picks up speed (the fights with The Spot and the ultimate Spider-Man chase were flawless) and stops only at the open ending, which set the stage for the third installment. A truly outstanding visual experience, and one that would be a sin to watch only on the small screen.

I was skeptical about this film before the screening, and for a while I doubted whether it could move forward meaningfully in terms of plot from the first part, whether it could still be visually arresting, and whether the humor and characters would be entertaining enough to carry it. But all of that left me after a while, and I'm back to being excited like a little kid and wanting the next part right now because I can't handle waiting another year. Story-wise, the film makes perfect sense, it composes the MCU Spiderverse elements perfectly, it completes the concept of the multiverse, it serves us cameos from the "live-action" Spider-Man, comic book memes of the three Spider-Men, a bunch of fun references and especially the characters. With these, I was worried if they could even hold a candle to Spider-Ham, but here we get not five Spider-Men like in the previous part, but literally hundreds to thousands of versions of him, and Indian Spider-Man, Spider-Horse, a Samurai Spider-Man, and a Spider-Car that had me in stitches with laughter. The best part of it all is that the visuals and comic book style once again bust my balls, bringing a fresh style to the screen and that we once again have plenty of action, with the definite highlight being the fight of a hundred Spider-Men against each other, where I didn't know who to look at first and was squirming in my seat like a prostitute in church. As the film draws to a close, it adds to the hardness, the tension builds and the harder and harder punk-rock-hip hop insert kicks in until the very finale, which.... Well. I guess we'll have to wait for that. It certainly leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste to the end of a brilliant comic-book pleasure for nerds of the highest level, and is a bit reminiscent of Harry Potter 7.1 or Dune, but at least we have something to look forward to. Awesome!!

The sequel to Spider-Man is a solid and excellent animated film, it's wild, creative, shocking, serious and rightly fatal, and the comparison to Infinity War is spot on. It's just that a few things slightly bothered me and that's why I can't give it a full score. The film has a lot of cool and eye candy stuff that will please any comic book fan. Visually it is a revolutionary spectacle, it’s action packed (I liked the opening fight with Vulture and the final epic chase with 100 spidermen, which is one of the best scenes of the movie and the viewer will want to repeat it again). The soundtrack is also excellent and perfectly fitting – I immediately looked up a few songs. The villain, The Spot, is impressive, but he doesn't get much space in the second, and they have saved him for the final part of the trilogy. The second half is all about Miguel O'Hara, whose character I enjoyed the most. The surprise final unexpected twists are also very shocking and take this whole film to the next level, I liked that. On the other hand, what disappointed me a bit is the big absence of humour, it's all too serious and in some passages could have been spiced up with some wisecracks, as the first half was quite slow paced and on the second viewing I'm afraid it might be a bit boring, but otherwise I'm extremely satisfied with this one. 85%
