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

As a long time Spiderman & Film Fan, I am typical of very many a person who knows the Spiderman Origin Story Outline. The MCU Spiderman was for me a breath of fresh air - from that Traditional outline, in that I could finally go to see some Spiderman Movies and not know what was going to happen. This Film takes a Blend of the 3 Cinematic runs of Spiderman and takes the Character & Brand Forward. This film is far better than "cameo fan service" that some reviewers suggest. This film goes way beyond what "MCU only" Spiderman fans perhaps wanted & is all the far superior a film for it. IE. If you enjoyed or even loved the Tobey Maguire & Andrew Garfield Variants of Spiderman, and indeed rank their villains such-as Green Goblin and Doc OC, as some of the greatest Superhero Villain's ever, in the History of Superhero Film villains then this is the film for you.

What does more than "Fan Service" Mean? Well whilst the film has multiple peaks & troughs of action, interaction and battles, and may even sometimes seem weak in terms of script , that is more than made up for, in terms of how well fleshed out the story actually is, and whilst I am not someone known for being high on emo, the number of times I felt moisture building up around my eyeballs whilst watching a Spiderman movie was quite surprising & astonishing, in a good way.

This film is Fantastic, brilliantly well put together, and navigated the very many potential pitfalls that could have befallen a film with so many villains and Spiderman's with what is seemingly an unappreciated (amongst some reviewers & fanbases) aplomb. This film has "come & see me again" written all over it, and that is what will take it into the box office stratosphere over the next month or two, and in terms of ongoing sales and feel good factors it will probably break streaming / DVD / Video records for a film you will want in your collection.
