When you think the world has already got practically peak animation, comic book filmmaking and Spider-Man all in one back in 2018… can’t believe I’m saying it, but this might have sured the original.

Bigger and bolder in every conceivable way, yet I think they manage to pull off every single punch they make. Don’t really have the words to describe how happy and strangely invincible this film made me feel, but if there was ever a movie that needs to be seen to be believed - it has to be this one.

The third act 😶

Showed this to one of my good friends - this isn’t the type of movie he usually watches so I can’t emphasise enough how elated I was when we came out and he said he dug the shit out of it. The feeling you get when you show someone you love art you love is unmatched. What more can I say about this film that hasn’t already been said though? Peak horror atmosphere, even more monumental experiencing all its glory on a 20-foot tall-ish screen.

That 60 second sequence of Anakin and Pé looking out their sky-rises, separated by miles of futuristic infrastructure and the Coruscant sunset horizons has got to be one of the best scenes from this whole saga. A sci-fi, epic tragedy in every sense of those words.

Wow. Jonny boy’s outdone himself. So many emotions ran through me watching this thing, and all I can say is the damn hype paid off. Insanely enjoyable, surprisingly gritty at times, and packing one hell of an emotional punch. I was considering only giving this 3.5 stars since it does get somewhat convoluted around the 2nd act, but my experience watching it was filled with so much joy that I just had to add an extra-half star. A near-perfect blockbuster!

Completely and utterly flabbergasted on how much I loved this, but I should’ve never underestimated it in the first place with Gerwig at the wheel. One of the types of movies that I could probably go back to any day of the week, not think too hard, and just have a blast watching. A lightning in a bottle film, and I truly, truly mean that. Margot + Ryan = cinematic perfection.

I will it, it did get a bit worse on second viewing, and now I actually think that it’s on par with the original. Yes, the movie does feel a bit rushed (imo), and there are some questionable moments here and there, but the direction and performances made up for most of that jazz. Solid sequel!

Pé Amidala is top 5 finest females in all of cinema, i’m locked tf in though

In the words of Greg Heffley’s dad from Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3: 

Not mad. Just disappointed.

This really could have been something else, but nothing in recent memory screams more “mid” than this. Sad face.
