Spider-man No Way Home swung into theaters this weekend. Spoliers contained in the 4list because how can you have a 4list without spoilers on this film? Marvel and Sony did a good job keeping secrets from the public (but did they really?)so this will be a spoiler filled review.
First off lets talk the film overall. While not my favorite entry in the franchise, No Way home does a fantastic job tieing in the previous films along with the new MCU. Im a bit disappointed that every multiverse event in the MCU thus far (Spider-Man, Loki, WandaVision) do not relate to each other. One event has no bearing on anything else, yet they all seem to deal with it in some way (WandaVision not so much until the very end). With that said we were happy with this outing.
Heres our top 4 moments:
VILLAINS: We knew the badies going in. They’re all here (sans Mysterio and Vulture) Doc Oc, Gobby, Lizard, Electro, Sandman. The plotline was well done to bring them all into this MCU universe, and we even see some from “other” universes not even related to the previous Spiderman series. Electro in particular isnt the Electro we are familiar with which is FANTASTIC, why pull in the same blue Electro when youre dealing with endless multiverses? They fixed the blue nonesense, made him a lot cooler, and still had him deal with a Garfield universe Spider-man. The villains were a nice throw back and a very cool way to tie all the previous films together. Good move by Sony and Marvel to partner on this
Spideys: We told you there were spoliers, if you got this far shame on you. So yeah, we kinda knew already but they did a great job hiding it. Tobey and Andrew ARE back. All 3 Spiderman are here. it takes a while but when they all show up you cant ghelp but get emotional
Wizard Ned: Ok Ok, technically hes a Sorcerer, but Ned slingin’ sling-ring portals is so darn cool. This is one we didnt see coming. There were rumors Ned turns into a badie, so it was refreshing to se him go the opposite way and walk in the footsteps of Doctor Strange. At least now we know hes got some powers
Spidey-meme: So yeah, they did the meme. It was subtle and in a lab scene but they did the meme. They also did it for a promo recently released but they did do it in film. My day is made.
