Today, Tete DePunk, one of the co-hosts of The Nuts and Bolts of Writing, reviews the 2023 Spiderman movie, Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse. 

A colorful, bold, and heartfelt sequel to the innovative 2018’s Spiderman :Into the Spiderverse, Across the Spiderverse surpassed its predecessor in terms of pushing the boundaries with animation, sound design, and pacing. 

Despite being an hour longer than its prequel, Across the Spiderverse excelled in its pacing. It covered a layered story, starting and concluding with a poignant yet satisfying arc with Spider-Gwen. 

The movie also introduced, like Into the Spiderverse, several fascinating characters with striking personalities and unique animation designs. 

But where the movie really made impact was its emotional clarity and ideological conflict.
