@Ghast 1 is a good movie!
maybe this is obvious but when i say "good movie" in the top post i am exaggerating quite a bit. all the movies on the list are movies that i love. there are quite a few good movies that i like that aren't there
a lot of people love spider-verse 1 and that is great. for me it was competently-made film heavily elevated by the incredible art style
the second movie has more time to breathe and slow down, especially early on, and i think its lets the emotional resonance really really hit
plus its possibly the greatest looking film ever made
i know a lot of people were disappointed with the cliffhanger ending. but the movie is really gwen's story, and the conclusion for that is extremely satisfying on an emotional and thematic level
but that is also a personal taste thing. i care much more about characters and themes than plot/lore
