Review of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) by All_Buttru4 — 17 Dec 2021

It's not disappointing, that's for sure. Marvel movies follow a comfortable pattern that keeps things interesting rather than boring. Combining comedy with blockbuster action scenes but usually they are well paced,a characteristic this new phase seems to lack. "No way home " like black widow or shang chi races through it's narrative despite it's 2hrs. Dr. Strange feels like a throwaway and Peter Parker's plight doesn't feel necessary. The comedy feels stiff and immature (see:jaime foxx's entire performance).

Im really disappointed by this movie firstly by how incoherent it is. Why would Peter forget the fact Norman has a darker half,introduce him to his identity, his aunt and friends? Or the fact electro keeps discussing his lust for power? His mistakes are very stupid and aunt mays death feels obligatory to push pale parallels to Sam Rami original trilogy .

On the positive side it fulfills alot of it's multiversal promises,the references are timely. Peter&his friends are a pleasure to watch. Zendaya is hilarious as Mj and Jacob is inconsequential as Ned. It's a foundation for a more cosmic marvel that takes greater risks. It captures the marvel zietgist despite being one of the weaker marvel projects.
