Review of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) by Moviemitch96 — 17 Dec 2021

The anticipation for a Marvel movie certainly hasn't been this high since 'Avengers: Endgame' two and a half years ago! In this one, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) finds his life spiraling out of control after his identity as Spider-Man is revealed to the world following the events of 'Far From Home, and he soon seeks out Dr.

Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) for help in order to try and undo the events from occurring, which inadvertently opens up the multiverse and unleashes several familiar villains, including the likes of Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), The Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Electro (Jamie Foxx), and many more.

Now I know what some of you may be here for, and some of you (or at least those of you who don't mind spoilers) more than likely want me to tell you whether past Spidermen Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are in fact in the film, which of course has been the biggest rumor swirling around this film.

And to that I say to simply just do what I did prior to walking into this film, and just go in expecting this to be a great film regardless of what that outcome may or may not be, because this film delivered in so many other fantastic ways! The action is incredible, the emotions run surprisingly high, and there's plenty of winks and nods and Easter eggs galore that call back to several past 'Spider-Man' films.

For those of you worried about excessive fan service, you needn't worry, as it's only ever used to serve and progress the story further without being too overbearing. As for the performances, while you usually wouldn't expect much from a superhero film, Tom Holland delivers what I'd easily call his best performance to date.

Furthermore, his chemistry with Zendaya remains one of the most charming and endearing aspects of these films. Another one of my favorite things were the villains and seeing all their familiar faces, cause trust me when I say that the nostalgia factor here is going to run VERY high with almost any audience member who grew up watching both the Sam Raimi trilogy and the two 'Amazing Spider-Man' films, and the villains all undoubtedly play a great and huge part in that.
