Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is a fun-filled and thrilling entertainer that delivers a lot more than what the trailers promised. The film starts on a great and unexpected note. The humour quotient is very much there and the Indian connection will be loved by viewers. There are a lot many other surprises which are sure to create a frenzy among fans in cinemas. On the flipside, at 140 minutes, it’s too long. At some places, the animation gets too overwhelming visually and it becomes too difficult for viewers to focus on the happenings on the screen. The voiceovers are quite good by Shameik Moore (Miles), Hailee Steinfeld (Gwen), Oscar Isaac (Miguel O’Hara), Brian Tyree Henry (Jefferson Davis), Luna Lauren Vélez (Rio Morales), Karan Soni (Pavitr Prabhakar) and Daniel Kaluuya (Hobie). All in all, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is worth-watching and has the potential to become a gripping, entertaining and money-spinning franchise.
My rating – *** ½ out of 5!
