Are the spider verse movies actually worth watching?

I have never watched either of the 2 spider-verse movies. I don’t really have that big of an interest in Spider-Man, Marvel, or Capeshit either but I consider myself an animation buff. this board and whole discourse surrounding the films are giving mixed signals. They’re actually good and worth watching?

      yes. dont listen to stupid morons on Cinemaphile. they are AMAZING movies. The best animated movies out.

      "The best animated movies out" isn't actually praise unless you're delusional enough to claim they're the best movies ever instead of the best new movies

      The first one IS objectively good, no matter how hard schizos on this board will try to gaslight you.
      Not sure about the second though, I haven't seen it yet.

        Not who you replied to but how's this for why I agree it's the best we've seen in years?
        When you consider the simplicity of the first movie's framerate wherein Miles is off-beat with Peter's when they have the computer, but as he begins to understand his framerate matches. This is emblematic of the thought gone into style being important beyond just aesthetic throughout the entire movie. The thought consistently put into the foundation of not just this celebrates and embraces the reason optimists care about animation as a medium. The last ten years have produced no equal in accomplishing the fidelity in my opinion.
        I get being jaded but dunno why you'd pretend a studio taking risks and being rewarded with critical praise because it pulled it off can't be considered good.

      I loved the second just as much as the first. I can see how some people might not have enjoyed the story as much, though I personally really liked it. In terms of visuals, the animation in the second is probably even better than the first.

        >In terms of visuals, the animation in the second is probably even better than the first.

        across The Spiderverse was too experimental for my taste, Hobie and Ben stands out way too much compared to the others at the HQ. Gwen's universe is way more visually unusual then Gwen herself. Like SpiderHam is a cartoon in a cartoon world and in Miles's world he look like a cartoon come to life but not a hand drawn cartoon like Roger Rabbit he fit in in Mile's world and Mile would fit in his world. Penni and Noire didn't look that out of place either and she had anime eyes and he was shades black and white.

        All the lego Spider-man, Donald Glover, Spectacular Spider-man stuff was jarring the closest think to that the first movie had was a Popsicle at the beginning for a throwaway gag.

        Storywise naught a lot not actually happens and the closest think we get to resolution is Gwen arc which as far as I can remember is 3 scene with her Dad and fell flat for me. I'll probably like it better when the 3rd one come out but honestly as of now the 1st is way better then the sequel.

          >I'll probably like it better when the 3rd one come out
          That's fair. The only thing that dragged Across the Spiderverse down for me was that there were a few too many heartfelt conversations between the parents and the kids. It didn't stick out to me on my first watch, but I felt it on my second watch. I'm sure it's because there's a big theme surrounding the bond between family (Mile's dad, Gwen's dad, Miguel's daughter, Peter and Mayday, Jessica being pregnant) and I'm sure it'll payoff great in the last movie. But now it just felt like slow build up.

              Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it for the most part. It just felt very emphasized. Miles' last talk with his mom where she gives him that big speech before he goes after Gwen stood out in particular.

                The talk with his mom's important since the ensuing events is basically exactly what she was talking about, how he'd "Meet new people, and that some of them would tell him how he doesn't belong." etc. I guess I liked the GS and her dad more was because their relationship felt very warm and genuine, and I loved the conflict between them.

                I agree Gwen's stuff with her dad was great. Makes me kind of sad that their story is already wrapped up and probably won't have much focus in part 3. And yeah, I admit Rio's speech did have a good payoff at the end when Miles comes back "home".

            TASM 1 & 2 are just shitty adaptations of Spectacular Spiderman (the Animated series) and Ultimate SpiderMan Comics (first one tried to be fricking dark like the Nolan Trilogy, but tbf i like the dynamic between Peter and Gwen, also the suit from the sequel was peak), Homecoming was okay for a introduction, FFH was just Peter going into a summer trip with his cast of idiots who no one cares, Infinity war was pretty good, and NWH is ok but only works thanks to the previous movies.

    They’re genuinely the best Spider-Man films out there, and this is coming from a racist Cinemaphile power user that thought the first film would just be some sell out marvel diverse crap. Despite all that I fricking loved spiderverse and the sequel is similarly good, they’re both better than even Spider-Man 2 which I fricking love. They might even be better than ironman 1 or dofp - my favourite marvel films.

      into the spiderverse stands on it's own storywise, across the spiderverse is still in the honeymoon phase and I wouldn't be surprised if a couple months from people look back and realize the visuals carried the story. Kind of like Avatar, It not terrible it's just the story wasn't that captivating.

    They suck, especially the last one.
    Aside from being incredibly woke and gay, the visuals were simply the attraction. The characters were deliberately contrived by wypipo to virtue signal, and the saving grace of the film was that there are other spidermans aside from the combo diversity mexican/black. But I was dragged to see the movie, and I dislike moronic gay Black person troony shit, so Im a bit biased because looking at inner city visuals disgust me, and hearing that oogabooga trap autotune trap shit makes me feel sick. I can't believe people listen to whatever the frick post malone is.

      Dude my new script says to drop the "not pretentious" line because it doesn't feel organic enough, didn't you get the updated script?

    I have only watched the first 1 and it was ok. A 7/10 but I have a bit higher standards for the writing since I often read books.

    I love all the passive aggressive holier-than-thou shotposters that invade these threads. Anyone who doesn't loke these movie simply does not belong on Cinemaphile. So yes watch them.

    First movie's ok, it's mainly carried by it's visuals and Peter B. Haven't seen the second but the whole 'canon events' plot point sounds moronic as hell

      Because nothing good has come from it? Hollywood knowing about the multiverse is good for no one and the continued treatment of its animators proves how soulless the movie is

    Spiderverse really is the ultimate chud filter. Unable to cope with its quality and success they turn to delusion, but cope after cope has turned their brains into mush and now they're something less than human. Trapped in a mental hell of their own making truly a fitting punishment. Miles wins again.

    Here, I've got the second one summarized for you here.
    Quick answer: No. They're pretty movies, but they both fricking suck - especially if you care about the characters being close to how they are in the comics.
