Chris Stuckmann reviews Spider-Man: No Way Home, starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Foxx, J.K. Simmons. Directed by Jon Watts.

[@Horrormaster13]

Spider-Man: No Way Home is one of the most emotional MCU-Films so far. A lot of my praise goes to Willem Dafoe. He is truly a force of nature and in the middle of so many famous names, he managed to completely steal the scene every time he was on screen. That man can truly act. He shined brighter than I thought possible.

[@TairiqueTuray]

What about Adam Sandler as Batman from another universe? Probably his best performance in a movie yet 🔥🙏🏽

Exactly what i been saying i hate the mcu spiderman with ai suit and kevin fiege pushing his love for iron man onto us. At least he dumps it at the end of this movie and got a real spiderman suit. I disliked this mcu tony stark spiderman so much. Im more traditional and prefer spiderman like tobey no ai suit no other suit no magic amulet. I so glad he has rid himself of ned when ever did we see a person being google maps for spiderman. Why did he have phone taped on his chest with ned and mj telling him which way to move what the heck so then what was point of being called spiderman as superhero. So he was able to fight as part of avengers without them and then all of sudden he needs their help. Also how on earth did peter get over death of aunt may so quickly? Also how did they create those antidotes so quickly in that room with no ingredients? Why in the trailers did they make out that peter was facing trial for death of mysterio yet in the movie there was no sign of it. The first half of this film was clunky and disjointed. Also the directors really have made made a mug of us with this awful mcu spiderman. Glad they are changing no more stark tech no more please now he has his own suit no more reliant on awful suits so glad he is now becoming the more traditional spiderman for the future.

In my opinion I thought Watts's direction was actually better in this film then its been previously. In particular, I thought they handled Peter's identity being revieled really well. I loved how the camera nervously followed everybody in the house. I thought there was some interesting shots. I do agree there was some cuts and editing I didn't enjoy. But I think this film had the most character. And it's definitely the most daring. At first I was a little hesitant or upset with the ending. But that decision is really daring to me, and impactful, and it really shows Peter's maturity and how much he's grown. Especially compared to all the immaturity in the previous films, although the whole plot of this movie was because his immaturity. But by the end of the film he's believably the Spider-Man we all know and love. Not Iron-Mam Jr....

Possibly controversial opinion, but I think they did Dafoe way more justice as Green Goblin in this film, than in the OG Spider-Man. He was terrifyingly great and his presence felt like the more psychotic Goblin straight from the comics. Loved how they incorporated his famous purple hoodie into his outfit.

[@FrostBitey10]

100% agree. The Goblin in the OG movie was more goofy than menacing, although he still had great lines. In NWH, he's genuinely scary and unpredictable.

For me i think goblin learn his lesson in og he playing with spiderman with threat aunt may(he can easy kill her but i think he still want spidey join with him after that) and the last thing try killing mj, and of course knowing the fact he fail just playing with spidey, now he can unleash all insanity to really mess up this teen.

On the other hand it is also perceived as unwarranted content for the sympathetic fandom. No way home is a fan-servicing virtue of a film.

This movie gave fans everything they could’ve asked for, while still telling a dramatic and strong story. It knows that it is nostalgia based fun and they dive deep into that. Yet, it did not lose its own identity. Movie gave a rollercoaster of emotions. Nostalgia, sadness, happiness, and intense action moments. The shockers alone are enough to pay for. Overall this movie is extremely well balanced in every facet. They kept the villains following one plot, instead of breaking them into long drawn out subplots. It learned from the past two Spider-Man failures. All of my gripes for this movie are mostly picky but the movie gets a pass as it’s selling a lot to the audience. Some dialogue, and some jokes felt corny. It felt as if some characters have to just say something from their universe to connect it but also give personality to the character. If someone who hasn’t seen the other movies needs to get the personalities some some lines are pandered to that. Nit picky, but still fine.

I agree with you regarding the actors feeling like they were in their own box. Various scenes felt like they were just acting alone with nobody next to them, it lacked that “dynamic” you were saying. Maybe because of COVID restrictions and potential leaks, scheduling, etc. But other than that, what an AMAZING film.

I loved that it wasn’t JUST fan service. The fan service was in service of the plot

I think Dafoe should be nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for this movie.

This is one of the first films in the uk where there was genuinely clapping and visible display of emotion I’ve ever witnessed. I am aware this happens in the US often, however it was the first time I sat in a uk imax cinema and you knew everyone there was genuinely loving this film. The fan service was done extremely well. Big prompts to this film.

[@Kjleed13]

Yes, you are absolutely right about the editing. I could tell the actors weren’t actually acting in the same room as holland. Marvel has been doing this for a while. It’s not unusual they reshoot same scenes separately or again weeks apart. But putting all these villains and heroes together is a monumental feat regardless.

[@shridharbiju7370]

Yeah it really bugged me and took me out off the movie a lot. I had sit down and really seperate what I liked and what I didn't like in the film.

Absolutely fantastic film. It felt like I was in the theater for 30 - 45 mins but over 2 1/2 hours had passed. So much fun to see all of these characters and that they ALL had such depth. My friends and I were going absolutely wild! Go see this movie!

[@kamilszwed9370]

The relationship of MJ, Peter and Ned now made me really nostalgic about what was in my opinion a pretty happy and satisfying ending. Peter fixed his mistakes of putting those he loved in danger before it was too late (like Aunt May) but he paid the prize of being left alone in the world, stranger to everyone. He knew he wont bring their memories back and it would never be the same because bonds are built throught common experiences and he would never talk MJ into loving him again so he picked to never meet her and Ned and let them live a safe and happy lifes. So bittersweet, I cant. Great story, wow. I didnt really love far from home and found Tom's Spiderman "Iron Man Jr." and it bothered me, but this ending made Peter come back to his roots in a believable way which is great. My feelings are so mixed. I dont know if I am happy or sad. Very good finish to the "Home" series. Future seems exciting.

[@thefilmrookie3099]

I’m glad you bring up editing. But I think Jon Watts deserves a little more credit, he did go further in cinematography than his past movies. There are a few shots that look amazing, right out of a comic panel. But yes there are some weird choices in the editing. I’ve seen the movie twice in one day lol. A mix up in tickets, which meant I had to see the film twice.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Dafoe and Molina coming back nearly twenty years later and still crushing it was great to see, but Jamie Foxx was the biggest surprise for me. Those other two were already great characters in their last appearances so I expected them to still work, Electro not so much, so I was really glad to see how they humanized him whilst somehow keeping his character consistent from his last appearance. The attitude and moments of underlying anger and overconfidence Foxx brought to it worked really well and felt way more like the comic character to me personally.

[@illustriousrocket4476]

You said it. The way this movie improves on Electro in virtually every way when I found him so disappointing last time may be one of the biggest surprises for me too,

[@greenkidd529]

They let Jamie Foxx be more himself so that's why he seemed alot more natural In ASM 2 he feels so awardly unnatural it takes you out of the film when he is acting nerdy and geeky like he is trying too hard

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

@@greenkidd529 Exactly. Electro as a character I've always liked, but in the comics he's nothing complex, he's an unlikeable guy who gets powers, so he uses them to commit crime, he's not some nerdy awkward guy who then goes insane, he's a simple but easy to grasp character. Electro in most adaptations gets less focus on his backstory and more so his personality, the PS4 game really did that well, so I'm glad they went with a similar approach here since his contrast to the other villain's personalities really worked.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

@@illustriousrocket4476 After seeing Baby Driver I thought 'this is what Electro should've been like, a clear character first then the powers second' and I definitely felt that in this film, albeit he wasn't quite as bad a person as he was in Baby Driver. Honestly the way they framed it that he saw himself as a loser before he got incredible powers made it so easy to understand why he didn't want to lose them. That angle I feel is how he should've been portrayed in TASM2, a normal but down on his luck guy who Spider-Man tries to help once he gets powers, but the lack of power in his life beforehand makes him power hungry once he's got it. Basically the great power minus the responsibility, it's simple but a great parallel to Spider-Man's origin.

Andrew Garfield is THE perfect example of a phenomenal actor suffering from bad writing. He absolutely owned every scene he was in, he outshined Tobey and Tom with his charisma and acting skills; he proved that he’s not only the best Spider-Man but also the best Peter Parker. Unfortunately, he‘ll probably always be known as „the other guy“ because Sony and the writers ruined his 2 movies.

Respectfully disagree. Toby is the best Parker Andrew is the best spiderman and holland is a good balance of the two. They gave a bit more weight to Andrew since he was the most uncredited. That being said Spiderman 2 is the most complete spiderman movie still.

As someone who's seen every Spider-Man movie except for 3, I genuinely think this is the best Spider-Man movie ever made and a top 5 for the MCU. First time I've heard a cinema in Ireland gasp and cheer and shout. They had to live up to a lot of hype and they somehow surpassed it. Willem Dafoe steals every scene he's in, Alfred Molina was wonderful, Jamie Foxx is actually interesting and fun to watch this time, Sandman was great, The Lizard... is also in the movie. Idk how but they fit 5 villains into this and it didn't feel bloated at all. Masterpiece.
