Spider-Man: No Way Home

Movie Review

“Damn, this reminds me of Endgame”, muttering to my sister and our friend Josh, as we search for an empty space in the theater’s crowded parking lot. As we journey into the theater, the deja vu of Avengers: Endgame’s opening night swept through us. Fans of all ages dressed as their favorite superhero in the long lines waiting to grab some popcorn. A tear fell in my eye, after finishing the movie, saying, “I think Endgame was the last movie I remember of so many people cheering”. 

After Peter Parker's identity as Spider-Man is revealed in the fallout of Spider-Man: Far From Home. The Department of Damage Control interrogates Peter, his girlfriend MJ, best friend Ned Leeds, and Aunt May. Parker's charges are dropped, but the group is still dealing with unfavorable press. Parker goes to the New York Sanctum to petition Doctor Strange for help after his, MJ's, and Ned's MIT applications are rejected. Strange suggests casting a spell to make people forget Parker is Spider-Man. Peter continuously asks for changes, causing it to corrupt the magic spell, which Strange manages to hold and force Peter to leave. Parker attempts to persuade an MIT administrator to review MJ and Ned's applications but is ambushed.

As the trailer revealed, Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, greets Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. The veteran actor reminds us why his performance as Doc Ock is one of the finest villain superhero movies has to offer, as he seamlessly slips back into the blend of pathos and righteous fury. William Dafoe reprises his role as Spider-Man’s archenemy the Green Goblin. Dafoe does what he does best by playing a character that at any given moment could werewolf and go wild. Each actor and actress give a solid performance throughout the whole film. Tom Holland finally is given a chance to show superhero fans, his great emotional range as an actor. 

The movie features the multiverse as the backdrop, several villains from previous Spider-Man movies, and two major superheroes, with each character needing attention and screen time. In all honesty, Spider-Man: No Way Home should have been a mess. There were only a few moments in the film where it did get a little messy. However, director Jon Watts does an impressive job keeping all the chaos contained.  

Marvel's tirelessly and unnecessary need to insert unwanted jokes and funny scenes are present in the film. Although when the more dramatic, tragic, or darker-toned scenes do appear. The director does give the scenes more time to breathe before adding in the pointless jokes. This makes those scenes more impactful for the audience, allowing them to relate emotionally to the characters more. 

Spider-Man: No Way Home's climax explores what it means for the superhero to truly, undeniably value an individual life—and the lengths to which he'll go to protect it. By the end, Tom Holland destroys the Iron Boy/Iron Man Jr persona and finally becomes the Amazing Spider-Man. So, while No Way Home doesn't quite live up to Avengers: Endgame or the claim that it's the best Spider-Man film ever made, (Spider-Man 2 is still the winner.), nevertheless it is still a great cinematic experience. Spider-Man has always been a story about a boy maturing into a man. The mission has been completed.
