NO SPOILERS! Now if you saw the trailers, don’t worry… the movie is SOOOO MUCH BETTER! Fans were discouraged with what they saw in th film, that rumors started swirling that this movie could be a dud, but it’s not.
Is it the BEST Spider-Man film? No… but it gets the job done for fans. Although, it is safe to say that this is the best Tom Holland film, from the actions scenes to the emotional scenes you will come to see. Holland definitely does not disappoint by going the extra mile in this film and giving us what we wanted. He does get overshadowed in previous films with everything going on around him. This film gives him his time to shine bright like a diamond. The story line itself, give Holland an opportunity to bring Peter even more to life by only focusing on him.
It’s awesome to see the characters of MJ, Ned and Happy being involved a bit more than we’re used to seeing in the story line. They don’t necessarily take the backseat in this one and it flowed great throughout the film while not taking away too much from Peter.
Now if you’ve seen the trailers, you already know what’s going to happen in this film there’s really no tip-toeing around it. We’ve learned that Spider-Man’s identity is revealed to the world shortly before Mysterios’s death, Spider-Man is unmasked and is no longer able to separate his normal life as Peter Parker from the responsibilities that come with being a superhero. Doctor Strange does come in to the picture when Peter asks for help to restore his secret, but the stakes become even more dangerous when the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who’ve ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe (Get excited). This chaos forces him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man. We’re forced to remember Peter is still a kid, with some of the decisions he makes in the film but then you come to realize why he did what he did and the price he had to pay.
We do come to see some blasts from the past, both good and bad which made us nervous about how this film was really going to go. Could they really make this work and would it take away from Holland’s character who we’ve grown to love throughout all the Avengers films? It’s safe to say, they succeeded with all the villains and cameos that were thrown into this film. It has to be mentioned the Green Goblin played by Willem Defoe absolutely wows in this film, perhaps the greatest villain of all in this round. The acting and the creepiness, you want to hate the guy because he’s so evil but it’s mesmerizing to see. Dr. Otto Octavius played by Alfred Molina is also another one the shines in this film, not as much as the Green Goblin but he definitely leaves his mark.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to hit theaters on December 17th. This is one of those films you have to watch on the big screen. Don’t wait! Plus, you don’t want to be the only one not talking about this film.
