Movie review: ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’
Bob GarverSpecial to the Valley NewsHow wrong I was about 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” When I saw the first trailer, I remember groaning about starting a fourth big-screen Spider-Man continuity when we were still in the middle of the Tom Holland version, hadn’t had a proper conclusion for the Andrew Garfield version and weren’t far enough removed from the Tobey Maguire version. The live-action continuities eventually sorted themselves out, but more importantly, the animated “Spider-Verse” quickly became the best continuity of all. And with “Across the Spider-Verse,” it continues to be the best continuity.The new movie takes place about a year after the original. Miles “Spider-Man” Morales, played by Shameik Moore, and Gwen “Spider-Woman”
