When I first settled in to watch Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, I was filled with an excited anticipation, much like the feeling of opening a long-awaited gift. The film immediately transported me into a vibrant, multidimensional world where familiar characters were reimagined with fresh creativity and emotional depth. As I immersed myself in the sprawling universe, I felt both the weight of responsibility carried by the characters and the sheer joy of a narrative that embraced its own fantastical energy. This journey was not just about a superhero’s escapades but also a celebration of artistic innovation and heartfelt storytelling.
