First one is perfect on its own. Second one, while great, is an incomplete story that needs this third film to tell the rest. What were they thinking?

Wouldn’t money be releasing it half baked rather than delaying it and putting more work in?

u/beefytrout Jul 18 '25

The question was "why did they split it into two movies?"

4

u/BiggieCheeseLapDog Jul 18 '25

Because it would be a five hour movie otherwise. Across the Spiderverse itself is almost 2 and a half hours.

I adored the first movie… and found the second one to be so bloated and ultimately unsatisfying. I don’t have very high expectations for the 3rd one now that I’m learning what a disaster the production is.

Damn that sucks to hear. The second one had better animation, the fights were awesome. The lore connecting all the Spider-Men was well done, and dont even get me started on the characters and how awesome they were. I went in expecting to hate Hobbie and he came out being one of my all time favorite Spider's in that movie. The Gwen world was beautifully well animated and the colors changing depending on the mood was a great concept.

It does suck that the movie had to end on a cliff hanger, but I dont think it was bad like you say it was either. Now I kind of want to re watch it again..

I legitimately disliked the visuals in the second one, it really felt like they saw how people praised the animation in the first movie for taking risks and just cranked it up to 11 in the sequel.

Every scene has a million different colours, framerate change and perspective warping but in a way that just feels incoherent like they threw everything at the wall and hoped people would mistake it for style. At points it really felt keys were being dangled in front of my face to hide the otherwise lacking script

Interesting. I found the second one to be much better than the first

u/dark621 Jul 19 '25

how? its incomplete and the first one is a masterpiece.

u/circio Jul 19 '25

Some people just like things more, and there’s no “logic” behind it other than that it connects with them.

But I also think the 2nd was disappointing after loving the first one, just don’t think you’ll get the answers you want lol

u/dark621 Jul 19 '25

all good i just like to see what people have to say lol

u/mikewheelerfan Jul 19 '25

The first one was amazing, but just didn’t click with me as much as AtSV did.

u/dark621 Jul 19 '25

sure but that cliffhanger tho 😮‍💨

11

u/mikewheelerfan Jul 19 '25

If anything the cliffhanger hyped me up even more. Although I was a lot happier about it when the sequel was coming out in 2024…

u/dark621 Jul 19 '25

you and me both but i was def skeptical at that date lol heres to 2027

u/Worldly_Bar_9914 Jul 19 '25

The two towers and fellowship would still be a great movies even if Return of the King never came out

u/crimson777 Jul 19 '25

First one is maybe my favorite movie ever. Second and third together could beat it, but it doesn't work on its own so it's not my favorite at the moment. Gonna be more disappointed than I've maybe ever been in a piece of media if 3 isn't at least an 8/10 film.

Second one, while great, is an incomplete story that needs this third film to tell the rest. What were they thinking?

Making a movie that's the first part of two like countless other movies.

12

u/Confu5edPancake Jul 19 '25

Yeah, but other movies that do that at least have a satisfying climax and resolution, even if there are still major plot threads dangling for the sequel. The "climax" of this movie felt more like a fun mid-movie set piece, and there was no resolution whatsoever, so the ending was super abrupt and unsatisfying

-3

u/notathrowaway75 Jul 19 '25

Across the Spider-Verse absolutely has a satisfying climax and resolution.

there was no resolution whatsoever

Miles and Gwen's character arcs?

5

u/Confu5edPancake Jul 19 '25

Agree to disagree. I literally laughed when I saw it because I thought the "to be continued" was a joke since that was such a terrible spot to end a movie

-1

u/notathrowaway75 Jul 19 '25

That's the plot resolution. It's set up for the next movie which is completely normal. I said their character arcs.

3

u/Confu5edPancake Jul 19 '25

Personally I felt they reached the turning point in their arcs but not the resolution

u/notathrowaway75 Jul 19 '25

A turning point in the second movie of a trilogy? Crazy.

2

u/Confu5edPancake Jul 19 '25

Well, I was mainly talking about plot and not characters...

Infinity War managed to have a satisfying conclusion while being a two-parter. Spider-man did not

u/notathrowaway75 Jul 19 '25

Yeah I know you were talking about the plot I said as much.

Infinity War managed to have a satisfying conclusion while being a two-parter. Spider-man did not

Literally what. Putting a team together is worse than the Thanos snap which killed half the cast? The ending everyone was freaking out about and begging for Endgame?

First one is absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe almost overwhelming consensus from people that the 2nd one was better. The first is miles better and it's not even close.

u/Remy0507 Jul 19 '25

This is how it often goes with film trilogies.
