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.
I dont want to downtalk the movie to folks who have not yet seen it. But a thing I really disliked about it, which I'm feeling is becoming a trend to try to build bigger franchises, was that it ends with a cliffhanger without resolving 80% of the plotlines opened up.
It is one of the, if not the best movie of this year so far. But don't expect to get a complete story.
The fact they resolved some of Gwen's story made this slightly more unusual in the evreything must hang stakes
