Spider Man : No way Home - Movie Review
Spider Man : No way Home - Movie Review
spider-man no way home is directed by John watts rounding out his i guess home trilogy if you want to call it something and this film stars tom holland once again as spider-man and in this film spider-man's identity is now revealed and peter asks Dr strange for help but when the spell goes wrong dangerous foes from other worlds start to appear forcing peter to discover what it truly means to be spider-man
spider-man no way home so look I can't talk about this film there's nothing i can say i guess i'll leave now this is going to be a spoiler-free Blog i will be doing a spoiler review as well because there's a lot of things i would like to discuss that i will not be discussing right now i guess i have to establish what i consider a spoiler if it's in the trailer already i'm going to talk about it there are villains already revealed in the trailer and i'm going to speak about them so if you somehow avoided all the trailers and for some reason are reading this review even though you know i show trailer footage i guess that's your warning i'm just being super careful on this this movie is easily the best of the home trilogy for me i haven't been a massive fan of these movies i've enjoyed homecoming and far from home i rewatched both of them yesterday leading up to this film and i still enjoy them but they're by no means my favorite spider-man movies and this one this one will be re-watched by me more than a few times for sure i had a great time with it there's some inconsistencies and some issues that i have a little bit that i'll discuss in brief detail but for the most part i think spider-man fans are going to have a really good time with this movie and especially if you loved homecoming and far from home and you're just like totally wrapped up in mj and peter and their relationship and all that if that's like your thing like you're gonna you're just gonna have a great time with this movie um i also had a great time with this movie but because it felt darker than the other two this without a doubt is the closest we've ever gotten to actually having spider-man in the mcu like tom holland is really good in this movie and he has put through a lot of dark stuff and he has to deal with a lot of things that he's never had to deal with before that force him to become spider-man like he's not spider-teen he's not spider-boy in this movie he gets put through the ringer which is what peter parker has always been to me and it was wonderful to see we know from the last film that jk simmons is back as jay jonah jameson and he's in the film considerably i was very happy to see that but Alfred Molina as you know
returns as doc ock which i never
honestly thought i'd see a world where i
saw him on the screen again Willem Dafoe
is back as green goblin again not
something i ever expected to see Wamie
Foxx back as electro
this is insane like the fact that
these people
are in this movie is just
it's insane i struggled to
comprehend what i was looking at
sometimes because i just never thought i
would see that one of my biggest
concerns though going in was that they
were going to show up
and say like a line
and then go away like i was afraid
norman was gonna show up jump on his
glider go godspeed spider-man and then
blow up
that's not the case at all thank god
they are in the movie for a considerable
amount of run time and they have a lot
to do and they're not just there to be
call backs they all have
a plight they all have something that
they would like to
obtain they all have reasons for wanting
it
and it makes sense and when it comes to
spider-man's interaction with these
three characters this is a broad term
but it was very good i don't mean like
quality i just mean like heartwarming
and special and it
happened the way it should happen for
spider-man like spider-man's choices
made sense for the character and i just
really liked what they did and Willem
Dafoe is really good in this movie like
really really good i
loved hearing his voice and seeing his
face contort into the green goblin i
don't know man he was good
i loved him so much and it was just
wonderful to see him like in the movie
not just in a few shots the real heart
and soul of the movie though lies in the
relationship between Tom Hall and
Spider-man and Zendaya's mj and
they work extremely well together their
chemistry is off the charts but also the
story is just really sweet and i liked
everything they did with those
characters as well as Dr strange
Benedict Cumberbatch gets some really
cool moments in this movie there's an
amazing sequence which you have seen in
the trailers and i won't talk about like
what's going on but there's like a train
and clearly doctor strange is doing some
up magic and that sequence was
amazing one of the best things that John
watts has done in this trilogy i think
my biggest issue with the movie is one
of editing and one of filmmaking john
watts to me
is a good filmmaker but i have never
been blown away by his visual take on
spider-man it all feels like it fits
into the mcu very well but i never
really felt a lot of personality coming
through in his directing style most of
that was usually due to the characters
and the actors inhabiting those
characters just really giving a lot to
these movies and there are some choices
in the film especially editing wise that
i didn't understand the first time we
really see Willem dafoe as green goblin
without the mask on it was handled very
strangely it just cut to his face there
was no
tilt up there was no push in it was just
a cut to his his face and i was like oh
it's like that didn't they didn't give
him like a really great reveal i mean
they give his suit a great reveal but
then it's like that's well
that's Willem dafoe bro like he was in
platoon man like show some goddamn
respect and give him a tilt at least
in regards to those editing choices they
also cut away from defoe a lot when he
would be just chewing up the scenery and
really going for it and it felt like
they were almost worried that he was
going for it too much and taking away
from the realism of the movie which i
just strongly disagree with because they
kept cutting away to things that were
less interesting than Willem dafoe
as green goblin
talking they were editing choices like
that bugged me sometimes it did
feel like some of these villain
characters
were just sort of in their own little
box
and they were being filmed in their own
space and they weren't necessarily in
the same space as the other characters
and it was almost like they filmed some
of them separately and kind of stitched
them together with someone else off
camera reading the lines it just didn't
always feel like they were in the same
room with everyone it's a strange thing
to describe maybe you just have to see
the film and understand what i mean but
that could also be because for these
three villain characters i read that
they originally didn't necessarily want
the public to know that doc ock, electro
and green goblin were in the movie and
maybe they just had to always film them
indoors because they were afraid of
trying to leak so i don't
know but
that's really my main gripe with the
film is some of the editing choices
sometimes it felt like shots just
weren't as interesting or as uh dynamic
as they could have been but it's a very
small gripe amongst a two and a half
hour movie that i found consistently
entertaining tom holland is
wonderful as spider-man it's the best
he's ever been i've liked him since
homecoming and civil war but here he is
really good uh and i mean
phenomenal in this movie and it has an
amazing ending i love the ending of this
movie
i think it's extremely satisfactory and
i am seeing it again this weekend i
can't wait actually that's all i can say
right now there is so
much other stuff i want to talk about
but i can't
and you'll just have to wait a few
more days guys
