But “Across the Spider-Verse” needs just a few moments to make good on its title’s promise, opening at the other end of the multiverse to catch us up with returning Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and her own anxieties-chief among them her police-captain father hunting down their universe’s webslinger that he doesn’t know is living under their roof. Regardless, Miguel doesn’t fully enter the fray until the movie’s second hour. The film is durable enough to catch whatever sequelitis-induced headache you might've sustained from "Fast X" and remedy it too. It isn’t because it's so narratively busy you talk yourself into believing a 140-minute investment was worth it that “Spider-Verse” is both the best animated movie and best comic book film to emerge from Hollywood in recent years it’s the creators’ savvy at weaving a web so intricate and delicate that you can’t help but want to see the full design for yourself. “Across the Spider-Verse,” a magnificent and long-awaited sequel to 2018’s cinematic disruptor, also saves much of its resolution for a third Miles Morales movie (the bifurcation was announced in 2021) but fully earns its ellipsis. It was just in the last few weeks that Vin Diesel and his “Fast and Furious” troupe weightlessly crashed vehicles together en route to a frustrating excuse for a cliffhanger that left us feeling neither like our nerves were on a cliff’s edge nor that we wouldn’t already know how soft the landing will be.
