Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Miles Morales returns for a multiverse-spanning adventure packed with dazzling animation, big emotional themes about family and identity, and a significant step up in action intensity from the first film. It is a genuinely wonderful movie, but its relentless pace, darker second half, and cliffhanger ending make it a better fit for older kids than for little ones.
Best suited for kids 8 and up who are comfortable with sustained superhero action and a story that ends on an unresolved note.
