Spider-Man: Cruzando el Multiverso

a film by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson

It’s been a long time since we visited a mainstream cinema so it came as a surprise that the nearest one, Cinesa at CC El Muelle, has closed on 1 May 2023. So we went to Yelmo at CC Las Arenas where they still show the latest of the Spider-Verse franchise.

Like any second film in almost any trilogy, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is more grandiose, more fast-paced but nowhere as creative and satisfying than its prequel. Más de lo mismo, I’d say. A welcome addition is the Spot (I liked better his Spanish name, la Mancha), an aspiring Spider-Man’s nemesis who first surfaces as a petty thief. Sadly, the more his powers grow, the duller he becomes. The (Leonardo da Vinci-designed) Vulture is pretty cool. The Spanish dub is very decent, maybe apart from that of Rio Morales, Miles’s mum (Diana Alonso), sounding like, well, typical Spanish dub. The end credits are the work of art, just ignore the song.
