DavidB6937 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 The first one was very much a "fuck it, I've got some spare time, let's see what this is" type deal for me where I ended up coming out feeling like I'd had one of the best cinematic experiences of my life. So definitely got high hopes for the second one once I get round to seeing it. It won't have that unexpected feeling/experience but I'm certain I'll enjoy it just as much.

Not as breathtaking as the first, because you know what you're in for, but still an absolute delight to watch. A creative team that, as a package, feels like it's firing on all cylinders and nailing stakes, quippy comedy, and visuals in a way that should make the people in charge of shitting out these MCU movies ashamed. Definitely some recency bias having just got in from my first cinema experience this year, but it's so good to see a fun movie with characters from my childhood again. Someone I grew up with worked on the soundtrack to this, and the first one. Basically any time you hear scratching in the soundtrack that is DJ Blakey. Taught him everything he knows Excited to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted June 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 4, 2023 Just to add to the praise it’s already gotten here, but Across the Spiderverse is absolutely superb. Seeing it for the 2nd time in IMAX tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted June 6, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just watched Spiderverse in IMAX and it's just fantastic. The love and style that goes into every frame is just lightyears ahead of everything Disney is doing in its cookie cutter animation at the moment (the trailer for elemental played before and even Pixar films feel like a parody of themselves now) , the script is solid, the performances are great and it's a love letter to comic book nonsense. All the stars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'm very, very late on this one but just watched Quantumania. I'll put my thoughts in spoiler tags in case anyone still wants to watch it. Spoiler It's like a shit Star Wars isn't it? M.O.D.O.R.K reminded me of the Gamesmaster. I'll be back in 10 months to review GOTG3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Across the Spiderverse is so good it deserves to go in the proper films thread. To take such a tired franchise and make two of the most creative innovative and gripping films at this stage of the game is testament to how good these guys are. The biggest compliment I can give it is that I was a bit down on the long run time going in and was a bit fuming it wasn’t longer coming out. Another perfect film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 While there seems to have been no mention of it here (unless they’ve taken their chances in the other film thread), I assume someone has seen The Flash. Am I better just waiting for it to hit the torrents as I’d only really be watching it for Keaton Batman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted June 25, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I haven't watched it myself. Friend's that have are saying it's a bit meh. Not terrible just average. Edited June 25, 2023 by BigJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Are we at least gonna get an old man Keaton Batman film off the back of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read elsewhere, had The Flash been a success, which apparently isn’t the case, there was a Batman Beyond film in the pipeline. That doesn’t appear to be happening now due to the box office of The Flash and with whatever James Gunn has in mind. Thanks for the input though @BigJag and @TheScarlettChad Edited June 25, 2023 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 25, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2023 Spider-verse was great. I did wonder why it was so slow, but it made sense by the end. Some great cameos as well from other Spider-folks. Apparently there were over 250 alternate spider-men, women and others. I'm possibly seeing Flash on Thursday morning, I hear there are some good cameos in that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
