A new animated Spider-Man movie. Sequel to 2018’s ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.’ This will not make much sense if you’ve not seen that first film, so go and do it now if you haven’t.

If you have, read on.

Miles carries on his double life. He reunites with Gwen. But she’s got a problem. Then Miles meets his arch nemesis. Supposedly. The Spot!

The Spot is a villain taken from Spider-Man comics. He’s not the biggest threat there compared to some. And has been regarded as lame. But then things get threatening here. And in addition to his increasing problems of balancing things, Miles now has to contend with a threat to the Multiverse…..

You have never seen animation like this before. This does take a few mins to settle down. But after the first set piece battle, you will be well into this. There is one sequence that those who are sensitive to flashing lights will have to close their eyes for. But just one.

It is loaded with continuity references. But this won’t put non comic readers off. It is also firmly character driven and full of genuine emotion. It manages to balance it out perfectly with the humour.

It also makes the Spot into a character who reaches his full potential.

This is a dizzying ride that you won’t want to get off.

But then it does suddenly slow down pace wise in the final act. I can say this without spoilers: that’s because it’s there for a cliffhanger, and there is a third movie to come.

That is the only issue anyone could have with this movie. The slowing down and leaving it hanging that is, not that more is to come. Because otherwise it really an amazing film. It’s a PG certificate so a bit too much perhaps for the very young to take in. I will say though it doesn’t have anything, even with all that the animation does, that should bother epileptics or anyone who can’t handle flashing lights. I am in the latter group and was fine with it. So that was nice.

Oh and the other issue is that one character is hugely annoying. Spoilers.

Even so, an amazing movie experience. Part three could be a while. No eta at the time of writing. All good things to those who wait.

A caption announcing said third movie is the only extra thing in or after the end credits.

The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:

Languages: English, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish.
Subtitles: English, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Swedish.

The disc begins with a short anti piracy ad. Which can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote.

Extras:
Three featurettes:

Creating the Ultimate Spider-Man movie. Fourteen mins on the creation of the movie. Pretty absorbing stuff and it does go into good detail. It’s not just a publicity piece.

Raising a Hero: nine minutes on some of the characters and their dynamics. Also interesting to hear what is said.

Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-cast: Fourteen mins of chat with the cast. Which is affable and a good watch and flies by.
