Spider-Man: No Way Home
Fan service pays off as we enter the Multiverse
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a storming collision of past and present that explores the generational legacy of Spider-Man in unrelentingly entertaining fashion.
The script fromChris McKenna andErik Sommerswastes no time, No Way Home picks up precisely where the previous endeavour, Far From Home, left off: with Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) identity revealed to the world by Daily Bugle alt-news tyrant J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons). Desperate to undo the fallout from his being unmasked, Peter turns to Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to conjure up a spell that would make the world forget his identity.
Assuming you’ve seen the trailers you’ll know that such a spell can have its consequences, hence we end up seeing villains for Spider past appearing in at an alarming rate. Thankfully the visitors aren't just cameo roles but all have a major part to play in the story.
To discuss the plot from here would be a major spoiler but it is safe to say that this movie is easily the best Spider-Man movie to grace the big screen and the best super-hero film since Avengers Endgame.
We get to see Peter’s relationship with MJ (Zendaya) and trusty sidekick Ned (Jacob Batalon) grow, the three of them becoming the heartstrings that pull the movie together. One scene especially shows just how close they have become, tears were shed in the audience too.
The Spider-Man film franchise is one of the most beloved and successful series of all time, with fans spanning multiple generations. The character is seeing a lush renaissance under the protective watch of Kevin Feige’s MCU.
No Way Home had me laughing one minute and crying the next, at one point I even cheered. This the third episode in the 'Home' trilogy is an extraordinary achievement, delivering everything you could possibly want from a Spider-Man movie and more.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is in cinemas now
