Saw the movie today. Went in completely blind, not even realizing it was a two parter. The animation style is stunningly gorgeous and unique. Just by aesthetics alone, it was a complete joy to watch. The use of colour was fantastic, including being a perhaps subtle hint that Miles wasn't in his own universe.
The plot was fantastic. Full of the usual Spider-man quips that make his movies fun, yet also extremely touching (Gwen's moments with her dad in particular). I wasn't sure how they'd top the team of Spider-people from the first movie, but somehow they did it (with a whole freaking tower full of Spider-people).
The music was also fantastic. I'm gonna lookup a playlist for work tomorrow because there was a lot of bangers that were unfamiliar to me.
My only complaint is the lack of closure due to the "to be continued" ending. The chemistry between Miles and Gwen is great and has me excited for the sequel.
Honourable mention to the daughter of Peter B -- she's adorable.
It was a 9/10 for me. It was well on its way to a 10/10 (which to me means a movie is perfect, within its genre), based on the stunning visuals, amazing worldbuilding and character chemistry, geniunely good humor, exciting action, and stunning moments; but I ended up liking the first one better, as I feel this one is 10-15 minutes too long, and has some pacing and narrative contruction issues. It's not a major complain, and I've already seen it twice and loved it every time, but it bumped it from "perfect movie" to "excellent movie", to me.
