Looking at my list of ‘most anticipated movies of 2023’, with the benefit of hindsight, tells me a few things; going forward the MCU will, with the exception of Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, not be receiving the benefit of the doubt anymore. Going into 2023, and leaving behind catastrophic…

To save time, look up all variations (pun intended) of creative. <b> Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse <b> is <b> the <b> most creative, inventive, innovative movie, animated or otherwise, I have ever seen.
