Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse (released 6/2/23)

I don't think something I've been hyped for has exceeded expectations since Endgame. Not only was this the first half of a huge, intense story, but it is also a very personal story. All about doing the right thing versus what is the best thing. There were plenty of jokes but it never pulled the gut punches. Every character felt unique but you saw the core of what makes them spider-people. It never slowed down to a crawl but every intense moment had time to soak in. I gave this bonus points because this is what everyone expected Multiverse of Madness to be. It has cameos and references all over the place but never takes the focus from Miles or Gwen. The animation is next-level and just uniquely, perfectly done. I hope the sequel can match, if not surpass, this movie. This had everything I wanted and more. It is perfection.
