I just want to point out that Willem Dafoe actually did his own stunts in this movie, and that’s actually him throwing down with Spider-Man. At age 66, he still managed to bring probably the most grounded and real fights ever in the MCU. I think it just says something about how if the people making the movie are willing to sacrifice their bodies, the audience will realize and appreciate it.

[@magmat0585]

Dafoe is one of my favorite actors, beyond Spiderman I loved him in Platoon, John Wick, Boondock Saints, guy always brings 110%.

[@RhetoricalThrill]

I read that he insisted upon doing as much as possible and being in the suit for real. Love it.

[@el_killorcure]

Not surprised at all. He's always stayed in great shape, if he's as healthy as he looks (no steroids nor HGH, unlike say Stallone), I can totally buy that!

[@whitworth5s248]

Seriously? There was a moment where they were fighting and Spider-man jumps over him and flips him over his head, and it was pretty obvious that they used wires for the stunt, and my thought at that moment was, "There's no way Dafoe did that stunt..." If he actually did, much respect to him.

[@thedarkknight1971]

I have as much respect for actors that do their own stunts, suffer the risk of, and actual pain and injuries when things don't go right - Tom Cruise broken leg for example. as I do with actors, white or black, male or female that can give a true, strong performance in a TV series/Movie, WITHOUT also being pretentious or behaving/speaking in public life in ways of the current 'Fad' to keep their popularity...... THEY, to me, are the ones that truly deserve awards...

[@RogueFox2185]

Tobey brought his wisdom of balance with being Spider-Man, Andrew achieved his long sought redemption after failing to save the woman he loved and Tom finally rejected the mantle of Iron-Boy.Jr and embraced being Spider-Man; it was a long road to get us here but the end result was worth the wait.

[@codyw1]

"Imparted". ;)

[@Daviesherr1981]

Nailed it.

[@EnsignRedshirtRicky]

Tobey let GG go and got someone killed and since Holland signed off on it (not pushing the button), he arc is dragged down as well. I am not sure how Holland can be happy at the end given how things went. The last spell erased most of what they did after all.

[@falkofscrum]

You could honestly completely skip Far From Home. With a little rewrite the Vulture could reveal Spider-Mans secret identity at the end of Homecoming, and nothing would be different

[@CometStar100]

I always felt that was where Tom's Spider-Man was leading. I knew he would eventually break away from the tech and become the Spider-Man we all know after the high school years but man I did not realize everyone forget was going to forget who he is in the process of that like thats so sad. I really loved a major theme in the film which was getting a second chance through sacrifice and it really seems like Peter grew up in this film while the other two Spider-Men helped him out with the growing pains. This new era of Spider-Man has me really excited as we now enter the college years.

[@ascendingarscente]

Hearing Tobey’s Peter mention that him and Mary Jane are still together, likely married, is like learning about an old friend you’ve lost touched with for years is not only doing good, but better than when you last saw them.

What I noticed was the villains all get pulled from the exact moment they find out who spider-man is really. But the peters all get pulled together at the current moment in their lives, suggesting they’re the nexus between all the multiverse.

I wasn’t expecting Willem Dafoe to be my favourite part of the movie… but his acting was next level. When Tom fights him in the hallway, and he just cackles manically as he gets punched again and again… that actually unnerved me. Massive props to how Goblin was written and portrayed in this.

[@remusventanus5341]

Right? As the movie progressed I was more and more on board, despite my caution. Yet when the goblin took over, that whole part of the movie I thought "Oh shit. Theyre actually taking this seriously." It was all a wonderful surprise, and I'm glad I spent my money on something Marvel for the first time since Infinity War.

Then he just craters Peter down the levels of the building, reminded me of the final battle in the Rami movie when he brutally beats down Spider-Man. Green Goblins always been a tank

I'm glad they actually let Tobey look his age. That scene where Doc Ock says, "you're all grown up" hit me in the feels. He grew up along with the fans that watched him when they were kids. He and Andrew got to be mentors to Tom, but can still relate to his struggles like they're the same age. This is a one of a kind movie and it was beautiful.

Even at the end of the film when you think he has learned is lesson, he still fails. That's a real character.

Because it openly respects what came before. Heck, I thought the Andrew Garfield movies were "Meh" at best, but even I appreciated that this movie treated it respectfully and LIKED that his version of Spider-Man was given CLOSURE.

[@CaptRespect]

This was great. I loved how they poked fun at the old movies too. Garfield said he was the lamest one and fought lame villains. And the hole thing with the webshooters was funny too. It always bugged me that Toby had webs in his wrist, now they kinda retroactively fixed that criticism.

I was in the movie theater when they mentioned the part about where else tobys we shooters come out from and everyone was laughing so hard but honestly the scene was so good because we got a break for a couple of minutes from the action and the emotional trains that kept hitting us and it was a scene of three of the same person talking about their differences and curious about each other’s lives which is a natural thing to do when you have another version of yourself come from a different universe

[@sharpielynch]

Spoilers ahead: To me the movie broke the celing near the end with one single shot: the one with the suit and de sewing machine. That frame says a lot more than you might think. It says "no more tech suit, no more iron man jr, no more millenial bullshit" the spiderman we know is back: poor, struggling to study, to pay rent, to carry on with his life and yet still going on. This movie brought back the reason we love spiderman so much. We love him because he is us. Us trying to be better.

[@InfernosReaper]

Tom Holland's Spider-man until that point was basically just a teen version of the Spiderman with the Iron Man style suit from that major multi-Spider-man event from the end of that 90s animated series. He was a guy who never had any major losses or setbacks, everything always went his way. He also was kinda insufferable and his lack of dealing with *true* adversity was a liability for the group. It was great to see Tom's Spider-man grow out of that "easy power" stuff, something he'd twice had the opportunity to do, but for some reason didn't. It's honestly weird that he didn't just become an Avenger other than "so Sony and Marvel wouldn't have to strike up a bigger deal for that"

Part of what makes all the fights so good, is all of them except for one has "secondary objectives". Fighting Ock, he's trying to save the admissions lady. Fighting Electro, he's trying to figure out how to depower him. Fighting Strange, he's trying to keep the box away and just not get absolutely bamboozled by magic fuckery. His first "fight" with Goblin is him getting his shit rocked, it's not his fight, it's Goblins, and Goblin's secondary objective is to break Peter's spirit. The big rumble at the end has the obvious "secondary objective" of getting all the cures to the villains. The final confrontation of Peter and Goblin has no secondary objective. His goal is to kill him. It's to rock his shit, and kill the bastard. All the fights in the MCU are pretty much "defeat that guy", and this entire movie all fights have more objectives than just that. Except for the final confrontation, which is meant to be simple and powerful. These two characters, super similar powers, most of their armor gone, their tech disabled, just punching the hell out of each other (also the impacts in this fight are absolutely brutal). In a series of increasingly overly flashy CGI Gran rumbles, two dudes standing in front of each other is a welcome change because it's so personal.

Thankfully the movie wasn't just a huge nostalgia trip. Honestly, apart from the 10-15 first minutes where there is a bit of useless babbling, it was excellent. McGuire, Garfield (who I actually liked very much as Spiderman) and Holland had amazing chemistry. Heck, now I want to see them again doing stuff, sharing their experiences, giving each other a bit of a nudge to keep going, to regain hope. Most importantly they did what the MCU Spiderman needed. They gave him the loss that turns him into the hero he is supposed to become. For a moment I thought they wouldn't be brave enough, but they were and they actually subverted my expectations positively.

[@Casualobserver3656]

The build up to NWH is what I love most about Tom's Peter. unlike Toby and Andrew's versions we really see the character being a kid. His loss of innocence is much slower and more realistic. In homecoming we don't see bens death cause Peter still looks at that loss mostly through the lens of a child. Tony's death chips away at that naivety a bit more so by the time May dies and he's faced with the utter loneliness awaiting him (his friends might as well be dead too once their memories are wiped) it's gut wrenching. That's what I love about Tom's spidey. We know tragedy is coming for him but we've come to adore his innocence and want to protect him from the coming heartbreak.

So on the point of the movie not bowing to "the message" there was actually a scene that is more deconstructive of "the message" that really made me happy to be honest. When electro says to Andrew Garfield "I thought you'd be black" and Garfield responds with sorry, I started to roll my eyes and tell myself "oh boy here comes the sermon." But I was genuinely shocked when he said don't be sorry. and I know it was just a nice little nod to Miles Morales but that simple message of don't be sorry for who you are, instead of the normal be sorry because you are white and white is evil really hammered home the point of this not being in the same vein as most current era superhero movies.

Probably my favourite moment in this movie was when Peter was furiously fighting against Dafoe and about to kill him with his glider before Tobey steps in and stops him, making him realize that revenge is not the way and that it would make him no better than the man he's trying to kill. Absolute 10/10 for that scene, no super flashy action was needed yet it was tense, had so much emotional weight as I could completely empathize with Peter at that moment, and best of all taught a good moral lesson for once. Now THAT is now you do a proper climax, I hope we get more MCU movies like this in the near future.

I loved the way they handled humor in this movie, it felt so natural and genuinely funny, but it didn't break the pacing and the tension the way it often does. I think MCU in general has this unfortunate habit of injecting humor into tense scenes. Which works for some of the characters, sure, and I love a good laugh as much as anyone, but at the same time kinda takes away a bit of the emotional impact. And Spiderman was one of the more light-hearted heroes in MCU, so seeing him in such a dark movie was a big surprise. Despite the brilliant humor, the nostalgia, the well-handled fan service and the positive message about giving second chances - this movie was DARK. Aunt May's death, Osborne's cold-blooded villainy, Peter losing his friends and family... And I really respect that they allowed us to feel the sadness and the shock of those scenes without immediately diffusing the situation with some witty one-liner. They just let it play out and then it takes at least few scenes before we get to the humor again, so by that time, the humor doesn't seem distracting but rather you actually appreciate it. I do like MCU as a whole, but this is one of my long-running problems with it, so I'm eternally happy that they avoided it in this movie. Mad respect for that.

Dafoe's performance alone was enough to glue my ass to my seat and peel my eyes open. Every scene he's in is a textbook example of great acting. From the broken scientist Norman to the sinister psycho Green Goblin, he switched personalities effortlessly as if he kept the two sides of the character inside of him ever since 2001. The apartment scene where he switched from one persona to another was basically him going full throttle. You can even visually SEE the change. The tense shoulder, the rigid posture, the change in his voice pitch, and most importantly: the eyes. From man to goblin just like that. It's as if he suddenly swapped his soul on screen, and not many actors could ever reach that point of performance regardless of experience. Absolutely amazing.

Some of them getting to fight and share the screen with their old villains again and in Tom Holland's case, getting to fight the same villains that he grew up with. And the same goes for the villains themselves, getting to come back to the roles they enjoyed playing and sharing the screen with each other and their old Spidermen. All the while with the rest of the crew sitting back and watching (some of who also probably grew up with Tobey's movies) and wondering just as much as we did if this was actually happening or if it was all just one giant shared fever dream.

[@thegreatid3595]

I loved seeing Tobey take on the Seasoned Veteran Spider-Man who’s passed his prime compared to the other two but he’s still just as bad ass and more mature then he was in his original universe. All the Spider-Man’s grew from each other developed each other’s character perfectly. I hope the people who made this movie understand how nice it is for me who grew up watching Tobeys Spider-Man universe over and over to really get immersed with my favorite characters again. No way home is a true definition of a love letter to fans and brought us all young and old to a good quality movie that’s respectful to all the characters both new and old. The movie also really showcased the humanity of the villains instead of just making them out as evil bad guys they truly explained in depth that the fall of their characters wasn’t due to evil but due to mistakes, accidents, failures. The villains got a respectful ending with sending us all a message we can apply to our actual life during these hard times and that’s to always look for the good in people. I Really can’t wait to see what’s in store I think Tom Holland’s Spider-Man should end here as it’s a perfect ending sort of like Tobeys Spider-Man ended where it needed and shouldn’t be touched again.

With Tom Holland taking a break potentially maybe a few years it legit might actually be perfect if he comes back. His character is old now and no longer the naive Spiderman we have seen prior to no way home.

[@Sonof_DRN2004]

I loved how at the end Tom Holland’s Spider-Man actually made his own suit for once, like actually. And his suit is really flashy and good looking.

[@D3voidofsoul]

Well not to get nit picky but he did make his own suit before he got the one from Tony Stark. However I do agree the new one he made himself is worlds above the first suit he made.

[@D3voidofsoul]

@@redmistbluemiss I did not notice that...whelp I guess I need to see the movie again.

[@lessalazar9068]

He made his one suit already

[@ShadowAshe]

What a surprise, a Phase 4 MCU film that the drinker actually recommends

[@EnsignRedshirtRicky]

A Sony film, so not a true MCU movie. That is why Venom 2 did better as well. However with Holland just saying he is done as Spider-man so that a woman can have a shot, I think even this franchise is about to head on down to woke town.

[@russiankodiak6849]

@@EnsignRedshirtRicky Facts, it’s a collaboration film, and obviously Somy had more creative control in the project since it mostly used their past hero’s and villains, props to Marvel and Sony for delivering a memorable film, sadly after no way home it’s gonna go full MCU movies again, so sadly it will be back to trash

[@tankofreality4550]

I think they actually did alot of subtle nods honestly for ditching the message. Like how the media went from guilty even against proof instead of innocent until proven guilty. The media is toxic and people are unable to put two and two together. How the government is so slow to emergencies I.E. at the statue of liberty and at the apartments where they only sent guns but not medics. That portion honestly made me realize the real reason the governments of the world don't do anything is that they suck and rather point fingers than fix the actual problem. subtle nods point out the fault in our society and i love them.

No Way Home focused on fun and entertainment instead of "the message". Seeing a packed theater cheering and clapping again was really cool. The return of Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Charlie Cox's Daredevil was awesome. The movie was for the fans, and the results speak for themselves. Awesome

[@declanashmore]

I just saw the film to do my boyfriend a favour, because I'm just done with Marvel. But this one is absolutely amazing. To add to this review: I really love how they took the time to have the three Spider-Men meet. And not just meet, they had an emotional, heart to heart talk. It showed that being Spider-Man is not all fun and games, but that's it's primarily a sacrifice. They could have opted to just rush through it. Have a two minute meeting, a few funny quips and move on. But they didn't. They shared their love and their grief. You know, like human beings. What a great movie. I am amazed at a Marvel movie being this good.

[@gregorybrouckaert3858]

@@Thomasmemoryscentral Would be to much in a worse film, but the film felt genuinely excited about the fan service it was giving and the movie was more than good enough to stand on it's own without the pandering so it didn't feel at all like it was pandering to try and make fans ignore quality recognition instincts while they take their money.

[@quincylee2276]

@@Thomasmemoryscentral I wouldn't call it pandering as it's a Spiderman film that gives Spiderman fans exactly what they want, i.e. it's servicing it's own demographic. [Edit] Furthermore, it didn't feel like the director went out of his way to appease any one particular group to "score points" or whatever, it felt like he made the movie as someone who actually cares about the franchise and genuinely wanted to make the fans happy.

Should we go one by one and cure every single villain in every single universe?

[@RussianBot-xu7wl]

This movie reminded me what it felt like to be emotionally invested in a narrative and characters. It reminded me what it was like to walk out of theater feeling elated and excited, desperate to talk about every action taken and word spoken. It reminded me what movies, but more importantly, superheros are supposed to be about. And, more then anything, it reminded me of a little boy who truly idolized not just spiderman, but Peter Parker as a friend and role model. It was truly a spectacular movie, an amazing experience and the ultimate way to end a spiderman trilogy.

[@chazm9458]

Drinker Recommends a Marvel movie? It's a Christmas miracle. Also... The thing that impressed me the most about No Way Home is the fact that it is a true sequel to 3 different franchises. The third act is a perfect balance between all 3 Spidermen that allows them time to interact with each other. The scene where they are discussing their webbing was something that I wanted to see, but never in my wildest dreams thought that Sony and Marvel would ever put into a movie.
