Visually Dense
This movie is visually exhausting to watch. I mean that as a compliment and a complaint. There are so many details to catch, plus little text bubbles that don’t appear long enough to fully parse. This is one of the few movies I could enjoy watching at one-quarter speed. And even at that rate, there are still places I’d have to pause or even rewatch to fully parse everything going on.
Embrace the Multi-Verse
I don’t want to get into the specific details, but I think this story embraces the possibilities of the multi-verse better than any that have come before it and I’m excited to see how the story goes forward in the next movie. I’m not sure this will make a lot of sense to everyone, but my feeling is that Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness used the multiverse as a prop, whereas Across the Spider-Verse uses the multi-verse as a foundation.
Grade: A-
About The Peetimes: I expected it to be hard to do Peetimes for this movie, but sheeeesh! It was nearly impossible. The second Peetime is the only one I would recommend. The first Peetime has some relationship development, and the last Peetime is full of action and humor.

What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
i have to say, i give this my once-per-year A++. i was blown away and left wanting more. and that’s HARD to find nowadays in cinema.
I loved the movie until the ending. Much of my love for it was the cinematography. The story was great thought the middle seemed to be an action sequence that was too long. Time that could have been used to develop their enemy who as it stand is a foil for the sake of being a fool. [spoiler alert]
A story needs to be self contained, unless you’re Dadaist, even if a sequel is planned. Here the end is abrupt without any resolution. It’s as if a 5 hour film was spliced at a random point in the middle. It would have been better to have named the film as part 1 so the ticket buyer knows there has to be a commitment to see part 2. Like Harry Potter did with the last book Deathly Hallows. As it is the filmmaker has broken his/her pact w the audience. Booo!
Nothing was resolved, I can’t recall a more abrupt stop to a movie.
