Spider-Man: No Way Home Movie Review
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a good movie because it appeals to everyone. It has romance, action, comedy, and drama.
The movie picks up where Spider-Man: Far From Home ends, where Mysterio reveals to the world who Spider-Man is. Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and his girlfriend, MJ (Zendaya), and Ned his best friend (Jacob Batalon) lives are turned upside down. Peter knows they can handle it but when MIT denies their college applications, Peter has had enough and sets out to find a way for everyone to forget who Spider-Man is.
Peter meets with Dr. Strange, a man with magical abilities, who he worked with on previous Avengers missions to help come up with a way for people to forget he’s Spider-Man. When Peter begins making special requests the spell backfires and causes universes to collide. Dr. Strange is barely able to get it under control before Doc Ock (Alfred Molina) and the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) show up and start causing trouble.
As the story goes on other characters from other universes appear. Spider-Man (Toby Maguire) from the 2002 Spider-Man movie directed by Sam Raimi and Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) from 2012 The Amazing Spider-Man appear and begin to help peter parker return everyone to their correct universe.
MJ is the perfect fit for Peter. The progression of Peter’s and MJ’s relationship through the past two Spider-Man movies up to this point resembles a lot more of what a typical high school relationship minus the superpowers. They start out as friends in the first movie when Peter has a crush on a different girl who ends up moving away by the end of the movie. We get to watch as Peter struggles to express his feeling in the second movie and the dramatic love confession scene. In this movie, they work as a team and balance each other out well. MJ’s sarcastic comments and dark humor compliments Peter’s endless positivity and optimism.
The collaboration of the Spider-Men is incredible to watch. All the Spider-Men had varying ages so it was cool to see the older Spider-Men take the younger Spider-man under their wing and give him advice. When they all revealed that before someone very important died in their life they had said the iconic line “With great power comes great responsibility” was such a wow moment.
Spider-Man: No way Home is a cinematic masterpiece. The amount of collaboration and communication that needed to happen was fabulously executed. The casting was amazing and everyone fit their role very well. In the future, I hope to see more collaboration from different movies coming together with two different stories and combining their timelines together to create a new, even better, story.
