    Fun
    Amazing movie with a well done story. Visual and CGI are truly top notch , especially when it comes to the madness of the multiverse and Doctor Strange's magical and complicated powers. Everyone on the cast is giving it their all and that alone helps the film succeed . There are sad and heartbreaking scenes that will definitely make you emotional to the level that you might tear up. The powerful plot lines, unexpected cameos and spiderman villains will make this movie worth it for even casual viewers. It's funny, adventurous and even sometimes suspenseful. Overall a movie that I hold dear to my heart.

    too much stupidity
    We all have our triggers... mine is stupidity... i don't do stupid very well... it irritates the h*ll out of me... and this one starts out stupid... maintains it's stupidity... and ends stupidly... i'm a spiderman fan from back when the comics cost 10 cents.. i actually had amazing fantasy #15... so i've not been very enthuesed about the spiderman movies... none of the marvel movies to tell the truth...

    these writers are obsessed with showing that they can write the stories better than the originators... so they change the core stories to reflect how THEY think it should have been... the reason these characters had so many fans was because of how they were written originally... but the most irritating thing about these moveis is how the characters... (all the characters) powers and strengths increase or decrease depending on where the plot needs to go... thus we have black widow holding her own with proxima midnight and corvus glaive... which is ridiculous and terribly bad writing... in terms of writing... it's cheating...

    as to this movie... i've liked none of the tom holland spidermans... simply put... the dude is stupid... he's not immature... he's stupid... and i've been reading spiderman books since the creation... and in no universe would spiderman be trapped under a building actually "crying"... bawling his eyes out yelling "help me"... "help me"... that was disgusting... and this latest incranation makes stupid decision after stupid decision... for the dumbest of reasons... this isn't spiderman... this is a stupid clown... and don't get me started on the moronic ironman mentoring control...

    Not worth all the hype
    I will be very honest here, the first two parts were much better as compared to thos almost 180 minutes drag saga.

    The whole concept of multiverses, old enemies and spideys coming together was brilliant however the execution was below average. The screenplay kills all the excitement that I had before going to watch this movie.

    The whole idea of Peter Parker trying to fix bad people was pathetic, considering that no teenager having such powers and being a part of Avengers who already fought with so many enemies, will think so.

    Sorry Marvel this time you disappointed in a big way.

    Just finished the movie by checking my watch every how and then.

    This is my first review. This movie is garbage.
    I watched every MCU movie and i really enjoy super hero movies.

    This movie doesn´t make any sense at all. The plot is absolutely ridiculous and the movie only exists because every character makes the stupidest decision possible at any given moment.

    The only positive thing about the movie is the nostalgia. Bringing in the Spider Men from other universes was a nice touch but the rest of the movie is unwatchable.

    It really saddens me that this piece of garbage is ranked between the best movies of all time. If I can offer a piece of advice, don´t waste your precious hours with this movie, it´s just not worthy.

    NO WAY HOME: BEST THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE DURING PANDEMIC
    The pandemic may continue to spread fear amongst the fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But that did not stop them in watching a movie that will forever leave a mark in their lives.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home is the latest installment of MCU's Spider-Man and it follows Peter Parker trying to maintain both hero and personal life after his identity is exposed by Mysterio from Far From Home. But things got way out of hand as he confronts Dr. Strange to cast a spell which brought forth villains from the multiverse.

    Before I dive in and share my thoughts about the film, it's best to also share my experience with the previous two movies.

    Homecoming was not exactly a memorable film for me though I found it good like a 7/10. In Far From Home, however, the film managed to lift my expectations for the franchise to a 9/10. How about this third film you may ask? Well I would say it is easily the best from the three and I'll explain why.

    And since all of its trailers show certain parts of the movie, those are the ones I will be talking such as the characters and events. For the spoilers, I will be leaving a caution throughout the review so be warned.

    Let me just start off by saying how undeniably amazing majority of the cast are. Almost every single one of them delivered their roles well according to their characters and they did not disappoint me at all.

    For obvious reasons, MCU's Spider-Man Tom Holland definitely carried the film throughout its runtime because of his fun charisma and also a relatable character because of his challenge trying to figure out who he wants to be after the past events that led to this.

    MJ played by Zendaya is, as always, great at delivering hilarious lines at the right time and you can see that her chemistry with Tom Holland do fit well as boyfriend and girlfriend - supporting each other through thick and thin.

    Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, the best friend of Peter Parker, is also good in the movie and his contribution in the trio, though might lead to some success and failure, is always funny and cool to look at.

    The biggest part of the cast that I would definitely want to give praise on is how they managed to bring some of the villains from the different films of Spider-Man altogether in one cinematic plot.

    Alfred Molina as Dr. Otto Octavius has always been my most favorite villain from Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and he really didn't fail in his character as he maintained the personality and is one of those few characters who I want, as an audience to change.

    Speaking of Sam Raimi's trilogy, who on earth would not forget Willem Dafoe acting out Green Goblin because he is definitely an interesting character to expound on and the film did manage to level his character up.

    Then of course we have Thomas Haden Church who played the Sandman who I did not like at first but his role in the film did made me want him, just like Dr. Otto, to maintain his good side.

    As we continue on mentioning the films of Spider-Man, it would be right to mention Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man because even though I don't generally like both films, the villains inclusion in the story did add some excitement to it.

    I am very happy that both Rhys Hans' Lizard and Jamie Foxx's Electro were also given a lot of upgrade and while they also act as villains, they also shared some of their personal side so that I could connect to them a lot more.

    Lastly, Marissa Tomei as Aunt May probably delivered one line that would forever change the perception of Peter Parker as a hero and his outlook on what it really means to have true change in people.

    My minor issue with the movie in terms of the character aspect would be Dr. Strange played by Benedict Cumberbatch. While he was really good in the film, I was mildly disappointed that his role wasn't much of a mentor and didn't do anything much.

    It's time to dive into the plot structure of the film. The first act was great in setting up some of the conflicts arising with regards to Peter's identity being exposed to the world. As a result, he faces a lot of challenges in getting into college alongside confused on which side he would choose.

    The minor issue that I have is the fact that it went into a wish-fulfillment wherein Peter wishes for Dr. Strange to erase the memory of people who know Peter Parker which would later on create more conflict to the story. Thankfully, that's the only issue I have because as the story moves on, it becomes more amazing.

    The second act was able to not just let Peter Parker encounter the villains from the multiverse but what also felt like a pure fan-service rollercoaster because although it might seem at first like a video game plot, the characters themselves saved the film as it reached to a point where things need to get serious now.

    The final act has probably some of the most epic and satisfying sequences that will forever be ingrained in my mind and have a realization of what it means to the future of the Spider-Man franchise.

    This was helped because of the musical score that was made by Michael Giacchino who also did an accompaniment with Pixar movies such as Up and Ratatouille as well as sci-fi like Star Trek (2009) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

    After watching the film, I realized that there were a lot of themes presented to me that I could easily relate to since I am already at the age of adulthood. Like how media and the press could easily manipulate the perception of people, what it means to be prepared for what life is up ahead, and how people still see the change in others managed to stick with me a lot.

    As a fan of the MCU, it really was a rollercoaster of emotions. Not only did I feel nostalgic because of the villain's appearances, but I was completely emotional and satisfied with how Tom Holland and the rest of the actors managed to live up to the hype that this fan-service film had. Especially during this pandemic, I was happy to watch something like this alongside Dune that still gives me hope in a cinematic experience.
