A critic called it a cultural experience that is sure to leave people teary-eyed.
For another one it was, “insanely epic and the music is fire. You’ll be on the edge of your seat because this ride is wild.”
Meanwhile, many appreciated the performances of the lead characters. “Hailee Steinfeld really comes into her own as Gwen Stacy and her scenes with Shea Whigham’s Captain Stacy are truly special.

#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse is a stunning achievement. Yes, it’s visually dazzling, with expansive, expressive new realms (Gwen’s world is my favorite). But the movie’s real superpower is its emotional depth and its beautiful, melancholic tone. I love this movie so, so much 🕷️ pic.twitter.com/ofHvWCrNqy— Drew Taylor (@DrewTailored) May 25, 2023
