Spider-Man: No Way Home

 

Spider-Man: No Way Home picks up where the second film in the installment, Spider-Man: Far From Home, left off. With Peter Parker’s identity revealed by Mysterio and him framing Parker for his death, Peter goes to Dr. Strange to make everyone forget, but when he interferes with the spell, he causes the opening of a door to the multiverse.


I thought that the plot was unforeseeable, engaging and full of nostalgia. The dialogue was well written and funny. I particularly enjoyed that they re-ran Uncle Ben’s famous line, “With great power comes great responsibility” and I thought that the themes around second chances was well laced throughout the story.

Like every film, it was full of sharp costumes, high action, well-choreographed fight sequences and crisp CGI. The acting from the entire cast was also great. I also liked that there was more character development with Peter's friends, Ned and MJ. It is easy to feel a connection to these characters.

In my opinion this was the best Spider-Man movie I’ve seen to date. As Tom Holland has said in interviews, this is a true celebration of the last 20 years of Spider-Man cinema and I couldn’t agree more. This was a well thought out, heartfelt tear-jerker was the perfect closure to the teenage version of this Spider-Man’s trilogy. Up next is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
