Across the Spider-Verse early reviews call it a masterpiece, critics say its ‘darker’, praise every frame as art, Miles Morales’ Spider-Man center of story, here’s what Spider-Verse 2’s positive social media reactions say

With the embargo on social media reactions lifted, Across the Spider-Verse early reviews are pouring in with acclaimed responses positioning it as a masterpiece for its groundbreaking animation. While praise-worthy mentions for the VFX were evident from the promos, Spider-Verse 2’s writers and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are also being commended for the story’s emotional depth in exploring Miles Morales’s arc.

Across the Spider-Verse early reviews may have surpassed the expectations set by the Oscar-winning 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse. In fact, several critics like Brandon Davis state the movie is “so good, it’s hard to believe it exists.”

While the Spider-Verse 2 trailers highlighted mostly the extravagant multiverse sequences, critics like Collider’s Steven Weintraub state that every frame in the movie is a work of art. Few journos like Jake Hamilton and Erik Davis compared Spider-Verse 2 to the likes of Star Wars’s The Empire Strikes Back and Back to the Future 2.

Journos were not short of praises for Shamiek Moore & Hailee Steinfeld‘s chemistry as well, noting they are a phenomenal duo. Although there are numerous Spideys – the movie apparently still keeps the focus on Miles Morales and his family, as DiscussingFilm’s Andrew J. Salazar tweeted. In addition, Spider-Gwen is also given more screen time sharing scenes with Shea Whigham‘s Captain Stacy and “steps deeper into the spotlight” and Rightly so as one of the leading characters of the sequel.

Some Across the Spider-Verse early reviews are predicting it has a strong chance of bagging the Best Animated Feature award if not being a major contender for the category at the Oscars. Readers can check out reactions below.

Aside from being a visually thrilling experience, Spider-Verse 2 is also a cultural experience that is sure to get Puerto Ricans teary-eyed, as noted by Vanessa D. Though the family theme was hinted to be a major focus since the first trailer.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will swing into theaters on June 2.
