I was not the biggest fan of the first Spider-Verse movie, so coming in, I had low expectations. The first 1/3 of the film's pace felt slow compared to the rest and was reminiscent to how I felt about the first film.
However, the rest of the movie was truly amazing. I really enjoyed the film's exploration of familial love and how this influences the way we act and think (probably the best part about the movie). At the same time, there was a greater use of stylistic visuals for different characters which helped me better understand the character's emotional states. This film took the strengths of the previous movie and dialed it up.
Overall, Across the Spider-Verse was much better than the prequel, and I look forward to the next installment in the series.
