Crowd-pleasing moments disguise a pretty average superhero movie
Here's the recipe for "No Way Home":- A generous portion of fan service
- A heavy dollop of sentimentality
- Mix roughly with the multiverse
- Serve on a bed of CGI
There is a fantastic idea the heart of this. Universes collide and every nemesis of Peter Parker is searching for him. Which means that the villains (and heroes) from the previous Spider-Man films end up in the current world. Willem Dafoe and Jamie Foxx in particular are fantastic in their roles.
There is some unexpected tragedy in the film, and the heroes of the past spend a lot of time reflecting on their own misfortunes. This has an emotional impact but does slow the film down at key moments.
There is far too much CGI (as usual) so you end up watching something closer to an animation or a video game at times, with scant regard for physics. Doing so much work in front of green screens really impacts the acting as well.
The biggest issue is the superhero story itself - the bit where the good guy overcomes the bad guy. All the multiverse nonsense struggles for logic and takes a long time to set up, and Spider-Man doesn't really spend enough time fighting the bad guys at the end. The action sequences are good but they feel like an afterthought.
This is a film for the fans. The neutrals (like me) may not get so much out of it. - mhtotalmoviefan - 17 April 2024
Spectacular, nostalgic and fun!
I remember that at the time of the film I was extremely anxious for months, because I knew we would have the surprise we had here, and the Spider-Man trilogy from the 2000s is incredible to me! I feel incredibly nostalgic watching it to this day. The quality of the older films was impeccable, and 2004's Spider-Man 2 is my favorite superhero film to date.
When this 2021 film came out, I watched it at the premiere, and what an incredible feeling! From start to finish I felt happy, surprised and joyful. Pure fanservice with lots of fun and homages. It's as if this film was a gift to people who followed the old films! The last hour of the film is a complete work of art. A very good film for people who were born in the 90s or earlier to feel happy and nostalgic. It's really worth it, pure entertainment! It's simply the most special film of the 21st century for me.
