NS: Spider-Man: No Way Home discussion

So this little film came out today. Anyone see it yet? Some spoilery thoughts.

It would be a bigger surprise if they weren’t in it but nevertheless… Tobey and Andrew are back. They’re both fun to watch and they have great chemistry with Tom. Tobey’s the definitive Peter Parker in my eyes and while I thought the TASM films were a misfire it was nice to see Andrew again as the film gives his version of the character some closure.

The villains… well, Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina were the only ones given much to do (Dafoe was clearly having a lot of fun). Jamie Foxx might as well not even be the same character in TASM2. Lizard and Sandman were both CGI throughout; the latter briefly used archive footage of Thomas Haden Church from Spider-Man 3 so I don’t think Church was even involved here.

It’s generally a lot of a fanservice but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Loved this movie. Easily my favorite of the three Holland SM movies and top 5 (maybe top 3) MCU movies. Excellent companion film to Into The Spider-Verse.

Loved everything they did with Garfield and Maguire. Young woman in the row behind me started crying when Garfield 'had a moment' after catching MJ. At least i think she did - I was sobbing so maybe that was just me.

Cannot think of a better way to both move the franchise forward while also rebooting it at the same time.

5 out of 5 from me.
