Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse.

 I think this is a good example of the fact that people do not have a superhero fatigue, they just have a limited tolerance for bad movies. This, along with its predecessor, are probably the greatest Spider-Man films of all time. My favorite actor playing Spider-Man, Toby Maguire, but this film shows a believable teenage boy going through the problems of having great responsibility thrust on him. And the animation is stunning. Not only is it breathtaking, but it's expressive. It's some of the best animation in a feature film since the beginning days of Disney. And by that I don't mean cute princesses, but I mean the Psychedelic horror of some parts of Fantasia, the dancing Pink Elephant sequence in dumbo, and the evil queen sequence in snow White. There's a great scene where Gwen is having an emotional moment with her father and the whole color and tone of the animation changes. There are two major flaws with this film though. The first is the ludicrous idea that somehow what happens to spider-Man in is what keeps the universe together. And the other is the ending. The story feels like it can be concluded with a couple of more scenes, they ended it on a cliffhanger they're going to have a lot of filling and padding to extend the length of the next film. But those are minor things to quibble about, this is a masterpiece, the best superhero movies of all time.
