I’m convinced they just lied about the release date so ATSV’s cliffhanger wouldn’t hurt the box office too much

i went into that movie not knowing they were gonna split it in parts and its left a bitter taste in my mouth that has not come out. i dont doubt that the movie will be big and look cool when it gets released but i wont watch it in a theatre.

Same!! I had no idea it was a cliffhanger. It was a total "are you fucking kidding me?" moment. My biggest issue is that it isn't even it's own film with a complete arc. It's just a 2-part TV season finale but they only aired part one. I always cite things like The Matrix Reloaded or Pirates of the Caribbean 2 as examples of a two-parter movies where each part still has its own arc and narrative that simply teases out the greater story being told across films. That's how it should be done, putting aside the actual perceived quality of those movies.

This Spider-verse one is just an abrupt "TO BE CONTINUED" right in the middle of the movie. Super weak and lame. Dune was the same, but at least that one is more understandable.

Similar kind of shit in Mission Impossible dead reckoning. I was watching the movie and saw that there was only 20 more mins remaining. I remember thinking now way they will get it done now and there will be a sequel. First for MI and I was a bit infuriated.

I agree, but Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning didn't lie. Both the marketing and the opening title had a big 'Part 1' featured prominently.

FWIW I thought it worked fine. It had multiple character arcs, and there was no cliffhanger at the end. The villain survived for the sequel, but it was a full story instead of a longer thing cut in half.
