Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse review \u2013 a dizzying, dazzling sequel. The first Miles Morales animation was a sensation, but this second film, with fresh characters, writers and energy, goes above and beyond. Is it possible to equal a film as boundlessly inventive, stylistically bold and effortlessly cool as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse? Could a sequel ever match that film\u2019s freshness, energy and visual verve? The answer, it seems, is an emphatic yes. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is sublime. There\u2019s not a frame of this rich, kaleidoscopically detailed animation that isn\u2019t dazzling. It takes the basic themes of the first film \u2013 adolescent isolation, communication breakdown, the messy, stressful business of growing, of finding your people \u2013 and builds whole worlds with them. It\u2019s a dizzying onslaught of ideas and graphic references. It has heart. It even has a font gag.<\/p>\n
In the film-making team and in the story there\u2019s a pleasing combination of original talent and fresh blood. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller return as writers and producers, but there\u2019s a new directing team that includes Kemp Powers (Pixar\u2019s Soul). Once again, the story focuses on the bond between fellow Spider-people Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld). But there is a host of new characters, each with their own distinctive look, including Hobie (Daniel Kaluuya), a spider-punk anarchist, drawn with a graphic style that borrows from Jamie Reid\u2019s Sex Pistols aesthetic and Jamie Hewlett\u2019s Gorillaz.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s densely plotted, almost overwhelming at times; Daniel Pemberton\u2019s score is an Escher staircase of anxiety. But the soul of the film lies in the tiny human details: like the way Miles, about to gain access to an inner Spider-circle, bounces lightly on his toes \u2013 still, at heart, an excited kid waiting for a treat.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
