The new movie “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” is currently captivating audiences. It has already secured the title of the best superhero movie of all time, surpassing a popular DC film.
Since June 1, 2023, cinema fans can watch “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” the sequel to “Spider-Man: A New Universe,” on the big screen. The film is currently being celebrated enormously and is receiving top ratings from viewers and critics.
In the meantime, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has even surpassed the former number 1 of superhero films and set a record.

Top Ratings on IMDb and Letterboxd
Through the online database IMDb, the top movies of all time can be displayed. The site creates a ranking based on user ratings to filter out the best films.
The top two positions in the overall ranking are held by “The Shawshank Redemption” (1994) and “The Godfather” (1972) with scores of 9.3 and 9.2.
Occupying 3rd place is the new Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, establishing a user rating of 9.1 out of 10.
Therefore, the new animated movie is now considered the best superhero movie of all time and has surpassed the DC blockbuster “The Dark Knight,” which is now in 4th place behind Spider-Man (as of June 6, 2023).
However, it should also be noted that the total votes for the new Spider-Man and the 2008 DC film are still very different: the Marvel film currently has only 60,611 votes, while Batman has a total of 2,720,494 ratings. The ranking could thus still change with an increasing number of reviews.
But it’s not just on IMDb that the film broke a record. Also on Letterboxd, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse quickly became a user favorite and even became the highest-rated film on the whole site (as of June 6, 2023).
What makes the film so good? MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski has already seen Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Here is her conclusion about the new superhero blockbuster:
The visuals are stunning, showing how expressionistic animation can be. There’s even more play with different styles than in the first film.
Melancholic and delicate watercolor flows in one moment, while in the next, pure and dadaistic chaos is shown with hard, broken lines. This goes far beyond facial expressions and gestures in conveying emotions.
About 1,000 people are said to have worked on the film, and at 140 minutes, it is the longest animated movie to date – you can really see that production effort.
Among all the fantastic visuals, the story suffers a bit. It seems not as strong as in the first part, as the protagonists often stumble from one fast action scene to the next.
We’re also given so many new lovable characters that I wished for a bit more time for them, and maybe one less action scene.
But that’s complaining at a very high level. Absolutely recommend seeing it in theaters!
