eh, the guy just died. I don't think a dumb quote is "repugnant" (and I'm well aware of Stan's crimes)

posthumous malone

I have a much larger Post Malone tolerance than most of ILX but I don’t think it’s overstating things to say “Sunflower” is not only his best song, but is a legitimately good song regardless of whether you like dude or not.

" the quote at the end was fucking repugnant" how so?

i just pre-ordered the blu-ray of this and noticed that it will include an 'ALL NEW MINI-MOVIE “Spider-Ham: Caught In A Ham”' which has basically made my year

This is a very good film but the pacing has all the flaws that come with an origin story, plus having to accomodate a pretty huge supporting cast. The act structure seemed pretty uneven and I would gladly pay extra for less of the dayglo Akira climax battle, especially the gratuitous drubbing our hero apparently has to take at the hands of Kingpin so we can be reminded that Spider-Man gets back up.

Loved Doc Ock, not enough Spider-Ham, and what sort of bad guys are running around in Peni Parker's world if SP//dr is rendered combat ineffective so easily?

can you explain what you mean by an uneven act structure? it seemed evenly tuned to me but maybe there are screenwriting nuances i didn't get

this movie looks incredible and rules so hard. as corny as it is, the twin themes of "the greatest responsibility is to yourself" and "anyone can be spiderman" really got me.

"dayglo Akira climax" is my new favourite w33d strain

On rewatch it makes me want to fast forward through the beginning and get to the middle 50 minutes or so, and then I find other stuff to do during the final battle. TBH, this is true of tons of movies, many of them good, and origin stories almost always have this problem.

Raimi's first Spider-Man movie cheated a little bit by having Peter Parker get into an extremely low-stakes fight early on, just to show what his powers could do even without mastery; this one takes the more realistic (ha!) approach of having Miles suck at spider-powers until we're nearly at the end.

Finally watched this last night on blu-ray - had hoped to see it in the cinema but it was out at a crappy time for me, so didn't manage it. Gutted to have missed it on the big-screen because it is, as everyone has said, absolutely visually amazing. Unlike anything else I've ever seen, and I hope it proves to be massively visually influential.

Do agree to an extent with Tombot - the neon-2001-meets-Akira climax pushed about 10% too far for me, and it definitely had that first-act 'get to the plot' issue that a lot of origin movies have. BUT the first act was also beautiful and there was a lot of eye-candy to soak in (it gave you time to get used to the visual language, which is good), and there were plenty of funny and humane moments in it too.

Can't wait to watch it again, and eager to return my borrowed copy so I can but it myself.

Watched this again on Netflix, and I don't know why I didn't notice/remark upon character designs for Kingpin and Vanessa being cribbed from Sienkiewicz's Daredevil: Love and War art.

Watched this twice on Blu-Ray over the holidays. Still so so great.
I got the special edition which includes a 3D BluRay. Since my TV supports it, I might finally get 3D glasses just for this. Even the regular version looks like a 3D thing.

Cool, but it's mainly clips from the first film!

Uh, no it's not? Either way, looks great!

many intriguing-looking spider-people in there

I feel like at least half of that is indeed from the first film, unless they are completely repeating the same beats in the new one

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Tuesday, 13 December 2022 18:04 (one year ago) link

Yeah I admit “mainly” was an overstatement, but you see less of the new movie than you usually do with a teaser, let alone a trailer (conversation btw Miles and his mom aside)

I just hope it has the same glee to it the first one did, not sure how I feel about so much teenage angst

I mean the trailer ends on a joke about how everyone knows he's dealing with trauma.

zero percent chance i ever remember which movie is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and which is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

, Friday, 2 June 2023 03:11 (ten months ago) link

Yeah it’s like they looked at the three MCU Spidey titles and said the proverbial “hold my beer…”

Day 1 fan (morrisp), Friday, 2 June 2023 03:20 (ten months ago) link

oh yeah "No Way Home" vs "Far From Home" may be worse

, Friday, 2 June 2023 03:24 (ten months ago) link

is there some significance to the three movies having the word 'Home', like names of storylines from the comics? baffled why they would title three movies so similarly. and yes, the animated ones are no better

Vinnie, Friday, 2 June 2023 03:35 (ten months ago) link

Anyway having just seen Across, absolutely fucking ruled, no notes, see it immediately.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 2 June 2023 04:00 (ten months ago) link

Hells yea. Every little detail was wonderful

the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Friday, 2 June 2023 04:03 (ten months ago) link

Important note for those so inclined: no after-end-credits sequence, but do stay through the initial credits for the impressionistic bit, it's quite good.

Every little detail was wonderful

I am just amazed at the perfect simplicity of the bagel joke in the first one essentially making everything else happen -- that's butterfly theory for you.

Not that I’m aware of… it’s baffling to me as well.
