Spider-Man: No Way Home

Alright! Non spoiler review!

Full disclosure, not a HUGE fan of the Tobey Maguire movies or Andrew Garfield's... they both have their moments, but just okay for movies...

With Tom Holland's flicks, I liked the first, but found the Vulture stuff kinda boring (the fight anyway... the "dad" stuff was great)... and as for the second flick, I pretty much disliked anything Mysterio related... but loved the relationships/character work...

In my opinion, this movie is FANTASTIC. End Game level payoffs, for a movie I didn't expect to pay off anything!

It stuck a landing for a trilogy I didn't realize needed to stick a landing!

It did what few sequels ever do (yet alone the third of a trilogy) - which is ELEVATE the other two movies, and then it even elevates movies that weren't part of the MCU!

Tom Holland hasn't been better as his version of PP. Zendaya killed it again... May... Happy... even FLASH gets a payoff.

None of the fanservice felt forced to me. And if people say "oh there were too many lines from this... or they were copying this..." it doesn't matter cuz I didn't catch it. They didn't stop the flick to have that moment (like Fin sitting on the training ball thingy)

I've been breaking down this flick in my head all night. That movie was over 2 hours??!? What?!

My nitpicks would be minor, and in some ways, what's in the final film would possibly be answers to worse complaints if they hadn't handled those moments so perfectly.

Nice work Jon Watts and all involved. You made me care about Spider-man in a way only Spiderverse has pulled off.

....

Is it better than End Game?

Maybe?

and if it is, it's because End Game had to pay off 22 movies - and did so brilliantly - But this movie didn't have to pay off anything, and yet did anyway, and on End Game's level.

BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

End. Ramble.

Not even gonna grammar check.

*Edit - I grammared. Sort of.

Glad you liked it buddy!

Like is an understatement! Loved it

Just bought tickets to tomorrows showing at 7 before Vancouver shuts down the theaters again…

There are so many moments in this flick I need to see again…

Are we talking spoilers yet!?! cuz I am ready to start blowing some of the emotional payoffs in this flick! Everyone friggin had one!

How did they pull this off!? I’m going to see this movie countless times.

It’s not without flaws… but to me they’re all just like the “captain marvel” moments in end game. Don’t care for em, but forgot they even happened once over.
 
I thought the multiverse stuff that happened in Loki would be the reason for whats happening in this film but it seems to not be related at all, which is odd.
That's what I thought too until I realized the stuff in Loki wouldn't have any sequential effect on the MCU— the events of Loki happen outside of time, and the sacred timeline was destroyed at the end of the universe (so after any of these movies take place) and then the multiverse starts branching at the very start of the universe (before any of these movies take place.)
So for the characters in this movie, there has always been a multiverse since the start.
It's very timey-wimey and makes my head a hurt a bit, but I hope that makes sense.
 
Saw it last night and thought it was great.

Tom Holland has really come into his own as an actor in this role. This movie cements it.

While an emotional ending, I left the theatre feeling that everything had been
set to almost make a classic Spider-man dynamic. No tech suit, crummy apartment, no girlfriend, a basics nobody literally who can now work at the Daily Bugle on the side.

The only question I have is
why did everyone have to forgot Peter. I get them forgetting he was Spider-Man, but was it necessary that everyone forgot him? How does that work? I guess he has a social security card and birth certificate, but no Nurse or doctor remembers his birth?

My wife also asked the question
if these villains came from their worlds just as they were about to die, then do they go back to their worlds and immediately die just without powers?

Oh and it was soooo much fun seeing
Tobey again. I love that first movie so much.

I as well have to go again.. my girlfriend surprised me with tickets, I had to cancel our opening night ones because I was under quarantine.

She grabbed some the morning I tested negative but it the was only 2 seats left and it was front row.. so close I had to actually turn my head from side to side to see what was going on at times

The end fight at the statue.. yeah I don’t have a clue of any of the action scenes..

I gotta go again
 
Everyone had to forget Peter was Spiderman because:

Peter's constant adding of exclusions messed up the original spell, which is why strange said screw it and stuck in the cube. However at that point the damage was done and the effect of that spell was it pulled people from other universes into this one that knew he was Spiderman. Jumping to the end, the box gets broken and the spell unleashed which opened the doors to infinite universes and all those who knew he was Spiderman were going to come here looking for him. The only way to close the doors was to recast the original spell as it was originally conceived that everyone forgets who he is, period.

Apparently that would apply to ALL universes and therefore no one would come to this universe to seek him out because they don't know who he is.

I didn’t get to at at all from the movie. Simply Forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, not forget Peter Parker.
 
I would have to say one of the key themes of this movies is "fixing broken people" or "broken people can still be fixed" and as someone who felt that way a few years back, like "can I fix my life?!" - this movie had tears rolling most of the second half.

There's a Garfield moment that almost killed me with happiness... and that was a redemption moment I didn't know I wanted to see - until my eyes went wide "oh crap! Are they going to pay off AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2?!?!?!?!"
 
Is it me or did the scenes featuring Thomas Haden Church as Flint Marko (not Sandman) and Rhys Ifans as Dr Connors use footage from Raimi's Spider-man 3 and Webb's TASM respectively rather than newly shot ones?

It did look weird! That was my guess
 
Bless...

I just saw a young lady doing a review & she was going on & on about how that guy caught that brick, not only faster than Peter could, but he also caught it WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING!!!


As we say here in the south instead of calling someone an idiot or a moron...

"Bless their heart."

Marko was seen so briefly that I had to wonder myself. It did look pasted on.
