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.
Okay, I gotta ask. How flashy is it? Is it like the first one? Unfortunately, I had to leave that movie (photosensitivity epilepsy) even though it was amazing. The one trailer I've seen makes me think this one also isn't for me.
Sorry to say, but it's flashier
The very initial production credits intro alone would be hard on someone with epilepsy. The movie, as amazing as it was, was very similar to the first with fast-paced, quick-cut action sequences. If there’s a way to watch it, maybe at home in a daylit room, I still very much recommend it.
