3.Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
When it comes to sequels, we've come to accept that more often than not they're unable to live up to or exceed their predecessor. With Across the Spider-Verse, the movie had an incredibly high bar to clear as the follow-up to 2018's Oscar-winning animated feature Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, yet somehow it managed to defy expectations to deliver one of the greatest sequels we've ever seen.
In the film, Miles Morales returns for an epic adventure that finds Brooklyn's web-slinging hero traveling across the Multiverse to team up with Gwen Stacy and a slew of new Spider-People as they team up to stop a villain more powerful than anything they've encountered before.
Across the Spider-Verse is full of amazing easter eggs for Spider-Man fans and features an incredible and diverse ensemble of Spider-People, each of whom brings something unique and amazing to the table. However, the strength of the film is its heart. We get to dive deeper into the relationship between not only Miles and Gwen but with their families as well, showcasing their unique struggles and putting family first in the narrative.
The sequel manages to somehow improve upon the stunning visuals of the first film, building new worlds within the Spider-Verse which each pair with their unique Spider-People. And that ending!? Some might be annoyed with the cliffhanger ending, but that was part of the film's brilliance. It quite literally left us wanting more and surprised audiences by not tying up all of its stories with a nice little bow.
