It completely killed any narrative cohesion or pay-off by just ending. I remember thinking “it’s been a really long time… how are they going to wrap this up?”
Turns out the answer is “don’t wrap it up”. It truly makes me not recommend it - though I had other issues with it aside from just that absurd decision. Rewatch the first again, instead.
Those movies were already too long, IMO. The shortest of the two is 114 minutes. My son really liked them, but we had to break up each movie into more than one session.
Oh I don’t mind it as much; but, for an animated movie that’s somewhat geared towards a wider age demographic range, it felt a bit too long for younger viewers.
I’m still bitter about Spider-Man. Had no idea it was a part one until it ended. Maybe we just create whole movies with the 2+ hours we are using.
I was so psyched for that movie, but when I found out it was a part one, I lost interest and still haven’t seen it

Ah fuck you reminded me of the ending of Spiderverse. Probably at least 2 years away still…
I don’t think they were even making part 2 when they ended it that way. Made it so much worse.
Which Spiderman was a part 1 of 2?
The second spider-verse movie, I think. No mention of it being a trilogy but the story clearly ended setting up a third movie.

2 hours is reasonable for a movie. It’s when it goes to three that it needs to be a really good movie.

Same, caught it on a plane and was pissed I had to keep sitting there not knowing the actual ending
