Just finished watching this in cinema. The visuals are great and the music is even better this time than the first. However I thought the story should've been condensed and the ending is really unexpected. Does anyone else feel like it should've been made clear that this was only half a movie?

Yes. This movie drives me up the wall because there is so much to like about it, but the eway it ends is not good. When watching it at the theatre as it was getting close to the end, I was wondering how they were going to wrap up so much stuff soon or was the movie longer than I thought. When that to be continue stuff happened I was disappointed and a bunch of people in the theatre either groaned or actually audibly complained. I remember some kid shouting "WHAT!" at the top of his voice.

It also imo heavily ruins the film as it stands because it makes the entire film feel like a movie cut in half so I cannot enjoy it over the original Spider-Verse. Maybe part 2 will be great, but imo these two films are always going to be stained somewhat by the fact that they do not open and close well. There's been films that hint at follow ups that ended way more satisfying that this. Empire Strikes back, Dune, and Fellowship of the Ring come to the mind. Across the Spider-Verse doesn't have that clear closing but still hint for more that those movies did.
