Good morning viewers. I am (…) will accompany you for the next 30 minutes in Hot News.
The first news that we will deliver is about the new popular film in 2023 that is Spider-Man:
Across the Spider-Verse
After waiting five years, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse managed to answer our high
expectations for the continuation of the prequel story, Into the Spider-Verse, which
successfully left an impression in 2018.
As Miles Morales returns to swinging his cobwebs on the big screen, Across the Spider-Verse
offers a variety of elements to make it a brilliant sequel.
Most franchises so far have had a similar weakness, namely the difficulty of developing their
universe without preserving the life of the original story.
Just look at a number of sagas or serial films that are still milling about on the big screen.
Some of them go too far to forget the roots of the story, not a few also lose their way as if
they just want to make money coffers.
However, this does not apply to Across the Spider-Verse. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and
David Callaham, who became the writing team, succeeded in concocting a sequel with a
balanced formula.
They are able to develop the story to become more serious without neglecting the lives that
have been taken since the first film
One of the proofs can be seen from the problems faced by Miles Morales in this sequel.
Across the Spider-Verse offers me a fundamental premise: Who is Miles Morales?
That question develops into Miles' journey to find answers about his existence which is still
relevant and so tied to Into the Spider-Verse.
The multiverse concept, in this case the Spider-Verse, then acts as a medium for Miles to
find out about himself. I also feel the similarities between Spider-Verse and Miles Morales:
complex and endless.
The journey is then described through a captivating visualization. Across the Spider-Verse
continues the glorious achievements of the first film, including in the cinematographic
aspect.
The animation presented in this film is the best definition of a superhero comic adaptation.
The visualization of Across the Spider-Verse's story feels like the panels on every page of a
comic come to life.
The visual composition in this film also has a charming authentic touch. One of the things I
admire the most is the visual details that often feel like pencil strokes and shading.
This advantage is made even more perfect by the typical illustrations that often appear in
comics, such as "Phew!" "Booms!" and many others. It feels like such deep and detailed
execution can only be done by animated works like Across the Spider-Verse.
The score and soundtrack that flow throughout the story also help Miles Morales' journey
feel even more alive. The combination of captivating visuals and scoring often amazes me to
the point of gaping.
Technicalities aside, Across the Spider-Verse also digs deeper into the struggles of those
around Miles.
The director gives a large portion to tell that part, starting from the stakes of Gwen Stacy and
Peter B. Parker in their universe to the hearts of Miles Morales' parents.
The audience is also invited to understand the complex and interrelated workings of Spider-
Verse. This explanation answers the questions left behind from the first film as well as being
a bridge to the third film.
Even though it has a serious storyline, there are lots of jokes and witty antics of Miles
Morales that can still be enjoyed. These comical scenes add freshness and color to the story.
The concept of multi-world and multi-dimensional, which is the main capital of this film, is
also used in neat ways. The director presents various surprises through cameos related to
almost all Spider-Man adaptations.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse also leaves a satisfying impression on almost all
elements, except for the ending. This sequel feels as cut down the middle as it would have
continued in Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
The cliffhanger ending actually annoyed me because I have to wait another year for the third
film to be released.
However, that note doesn't detract from my overall satisfaction. Sony Pictures Animation's
ambitious project is still maintaining its quality through this sequel.
The Spider-Verse saga also quenches the thirst of Spider-Man fans who are waiting for a
good adaptation of this legendary superhero story. I think this film has a lot to find a place in
the hearts of fans.
If this success continues into the third film, I will not hesitate to name Spider-Verse as one of
the best superhero and animated trilogy of all time.
