A Fan's Honest Opinion On Spider-Man: No Way Home (NO SPOILERS) 

When people say that the beginning of no way home isn’t the best, and it is like the e first two, but I think it was smart that the first part was like the previous two movies because it makes that tonal change in the second act feel more earned, you can’t just completely change the tone right away you have to slowly change it so that it makes sense

This movie really made me appreciate the previous MCU Spider-Man movies so much more. I like to think the whole trilogy as an origin story for Spider-Man, at the end of No Way Home he truly becomes the Spider-Man that everyone loves.

I really loved this movie, not just because of the nostalgia, but of the truly faithful spiderman story at its core. The trilogy was by far one of the best origin stories, even when compared to the other movies or even the comics, I walked out of the theater hungry for more!!!

Plot holes, perceived plot holes, no plot holes, I don't care. I loved this film. It's a film that made my sister, who was too young to grow up with the other Spider-Men movies, have a visceral reaction and my brother, who was never the biggest Holland Spider-Man fan, love the character. SPOILERS And it's magical when, no matter who your favorite Spider-Man is, the moment you see all of them work together (at least for a little while, based on these comments) those feelings melted away. And now, I enthusiastically await being told how this isn't as good as Spider-Man 2. Like always.

Tom showed the best SPIDER SENSE in a live action Spider-Man movie. Damn. The Norman's scene...

The ending is literally peak Spider-Man and I'm very excited for the college trilogy!

I expected people to say that the film seems like it listened to all the complaints and fixed them. But I’ve been saying for years since homecoming that peters arc wasn’t over yet. I believe this was always the plan for peters arc, minus the multiverse stuff of course. People expected these films to be like the raimi trilogy where there is a very distinct, clear change and evolution of the character all in one film. But this was always a trilogy first. His arc was stretched across rather three films. Whether you like that or not is of course personal preference.

I honestly think that this movie is impossible to fully reveiw let alone do an essay on it without spoilers

Willem Dafoe did an even better job than he did in SP1, truly an iconic performance.

William Dafoe and Andrew were brilliant. This was definitely Tom's best performance. I look forward to your spoiler filled review. That apartment scene was raw as heck. The ending really redeemed the first half for me. Really brought the movie from a 7 to a 8.5. I didn't realize we skipped over a certain uncle origin because these three films were set up to be his origin. Don't know how I feel about that.

This movie really was Spider-Man's Endgame, it's flawed and is by no means perfect, but it is a colossal crossover between multiple franchises that creates a satisfying conclusion for not only this chapter of Holland's Spider-Man but also the stories of the other Spider-Man franchises.

I agree with your ranking Spider verse - miles grows up and accepts that anyone can put on the mask Sm2 - Peter faces his lowest point , gives up to get back up Sm - best origin with cliff providing the best uncle ben Nwh - a love letter to spidey fans ending with holland doing Peter Parker things

SM 1: Choice SM 2: Responsibility SM 3: Forgiveness TASM: Promise TASM 2: Consequences HoCo: Courage FFH: Truth NWH: Sacrifice

You can't say anything bad about this movie you legit predicted it before it came out 😭

I’ll be honest: I was TERRIFIED of this film when I learned it was going to be a multiverse thing. Until I watched it I thought it was going to cash in on the unprecedented success of ITSV, which is perfection anyway, and that it would just be a reference flick with little to no care for Spider-Man as a character. I’ve never been more happy to be wrong. This film is WAY TOO GOOD. Its usage of the multiverse not exactly for the sake of worldbuilding and marketing alone, but also to actively add to the conflict that Peter incites is just incredible. And the final act is one of the most impressive acts in the entire MCU. Maybe I would’ve enjoyed a smaller scaled Spidey film more, but I’m more than thankful this film works so well.

Aside from Tony’s death in the MCU…. No Way Home was the only other movie to make me cry. And that surprised me considering I was more invested in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man than Tom Hollands…. But they found a way, and that Exit Through The Lobby broke me emotionally when it happened.

Well when you think about it the Home trilogy was a journey from being what people called him iron boy to spiderman, and peter having to learn throughout these 3 movies with great power comes great responsiblity and I think it makes the other the two movies better so basically it was just a really extended orgin for spidey to become spidey, and I know people are gonna hate this but this is my favorite spiderman movie and I dont care that feeling I had when watching the ild villains returning even tho one or two weren't as good as they were in there own movies where they showed up still had me hyped and over the moon and dont get me started with the tobey and Andrew return that's is a moment that will stick with me forever.

No Way Home makes you REALLY appreciate the previous two installments because of what transpires through the film, and more specifically -- the ending. This trilogy was Peter Parkers origin story. The ones who didn't like the previous two wanted to see Spider-"Man" right away, much like Tobey and Andrews. Each of their first films had them become Spider-Man in the second act, which is fine, but I wanted something more fleshed out -- to let Peter be a kid for a little bit. This trilogy did that, and I think it did perfectly (with NWH completing it). I think the issues you have with the previous two films stem from Marvel making Holland's Spider-Man an actual kid. Like, of course he didn't see the situation from Tooms or Becks perspective because he's supposed to be a child

"You cant talk about No Way Home without spoilers" ive heard this said a lot in the last two weeks. You rolled on in and made a real review, without forcing people who havent seen the movie too be spoiled.

Movie was amazing, sure had some plotholes and pasing issues but still really good, gobby is scary Af, other villans didnt get much screentime, but everything rest is almost perfect, also, wow, how did you predict everything?

Might as well call this video “BROWNTABLE FREAKING CALLED IT!!!”, cause there are so many things he got right .

Tom holland carried this movie and i can't wait to see him in the next trilogy. NWH post credit scene confirmed that he’s getting a symbiote!

Movie was fire a great love letter to Spiderman fans I know everyone is stuck on the past movies but Tom Holland did a great job with this character.

Not a big fan of Homecoming, or Far From Home, but after seeing this movie, I want to really like the past two. This movie was awesome.

1:40 that has got to be the funniest use of stock footage I've ever seen oh my god I love it

Honestly this movie fixed the issues I've had with MCU Spider-Man, i genuinely love this movie!

Spider-Man at his lowest point in life and sacrificed everything… this guy: 😁😁

Even though I don’t get the hate for FFH (I feel it’s mediocre at worst), I’m glad to hear that NWH is better and I’m excited to see it this week. Edit: I saw No Way Home on Thursday, and yeah, it’s probably the best MCU Spider-Man film.

I really feel like some people on RU-vid are less critics and more Tom Holland Spider-Man haters like they don’t get the vibes and era of Spider-Man they were going for and why it was good for people to see it. Then all the Spider-Man fans are brought together by one movie.

The final scene gave me goosebumps, and the last time a movie did that to me was Miles's leap of faith scene in ITSV

Did anyone get the joke of the door not working?

This film is what got me back invested in the MCU franchise for Spider-Man 🙏🏾

The moment I knew the camera work was fantastic was his first fight with Otto on the bridge. The long takes with the camera spinning around them, not having 65 unnecessary cuts like most mcu movies.

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON BROWNTABLE! ALSO AWESOME VIDEO!

This movie is really good experiment, not just a nostalgia cash grab but a genuine story.

I really like how in the beginning the major crisis Peter is having isn’t about his trial of the murder, it’s the fact that he and his friends got rejected by MIT cuz of the public opinion, it’s just some small relatable stuffs that makes sense on friendly neighborhood Spidey, cuz that’s just things he have to deal with daily like any of us

I fail to see how Peter lack the ability to sympathize with Toomes and Beck. When the former was just using the excuse of losing his job in the past to just make more money for himself and the latter was willing to endanger and kill hundreds and thousands of innocence people out of petty revenge and spite. At least in no way home the villains have at least have mental base issues, that makes them whate asovle for their crimes and that peter was willing to prevent them from dying in their own home universes from said issues. Toomes and Beck however have no exucuse.

“I forgive you” the Spider-Man fanbase to Jon Watts

I feel like this film let everyone who played in the previous films shine brighter, even the ones who didn't make an impact the first time around. The standout being goblin, obviously. That moment when spider man's spider sense goes off in the apartment was so awesome. It's the most intense we had ever seen his sense be and it spoke volumes to how much crazier and more dangerous Dafoe's goblin was than anything he had faced before where the second the goblin persona took over... his spidersense overwhelmed and blocked out everything else. The entire following scene was near perfect. As the purple outfit he was wearing got shredded and we could see the green armor underneath we got the most accurate Goblin so far. He got to even take it a step further then he did in Tobey's universe and take away someone close to spidey.

He calls it "A fan's honest opinion..." as if he didn't write the movie himself.

Been waiting for this!!! Your videos keep me going

It felt like I fell asleep halfway through and had an amazing dream. The entire film was just great, I loved seeing all the returning characters, and the final fight was absolutely beautiful 😍 I loved the entire thing, easily the best thing to come out of the MCU in recent memory. I loved the more serious take on MCU Spider-Man and the ending was just *mwah* chef's kiss, I cannot praise this movie enough, watch it if you haven't, it's so great, I loved every second of it!

Great video! We have a lot of the same thoughts on the movie! The internal conflict Peter faces in the second half and how well the film puts him in positions to make impossible choices really made the film work for me.

Can’t wait for the next week video tho and imo this is the best out of the Tom holland trilogy and I love homecoming

So I haven't watched the Raimi movies in a bit so that definitely plays a role in my current take of the Spider-Man films, but personally I have No Way Home in my top 3 Spidey films. For myself at least there's a clear cut top 3, and it's No Way Home, Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Verse(still not sure of the order to rank them yet). * * * SPOILER ALERT * * * Personally what I loved about No Way Home is how the ending felt like a proper Spider-Man ending. For as much as I liked Homecoming and Far From Home, they didn't feel like Spider-Man to me because Peter didn't have a proper connection to the villain, and he also didn't do a good job of trying to empathize with them either. But with No Way Home everything that happened was legitimately his fault, not him cleaning up Tony's mess. He also did the best he could to help the villains, only for life to spot in his face for it, but despite all that he still chose to do what he believed was the morally right thing to do, even at his own expense. And for me, that's what made MCU Spider-Man into a proper Spider-Man. He's lost everything at this point, even Aunt May, but he still chooses to do the right thing. Can't get much much more Spider-Man than that imo.

The most frustrating part of watching this movie was hearing people in the back complaining saying Peter should never have tried to save the villains.

What I wish Act 1 did was show more of how Peter’s life effected, have him kicked from certain places because he’s Spider-Man or people trying to recreate his powers like a bunch of idiots on RU-vid

This was the Peter Parker story I’ve been waiting for for years.

Love your vids Browntable I've been a subscriber for a long time! And I wanted to comment on something that you made me think about in regards to your thoughts on these MCU spidey movies. I don't really get the take that No Way Home is a great movie because of how far it pushed Peter and his character but homecoming and Far From Home sucked because they didn't do anything with his character as big as the 3rd movie. This MCU Peter's story is told in a trilogy, but it's one story meaning each one is going to push him further and further until he has to make the kind of self sacrificing grand decision that he does in No Way Home. If Peter made the kind of change he does in the 3rd movie in the 1st film then what do you have for him to do in the rest of the trilogy? This story and character arc is clearly a planned out one and one that they wanted to be a slow burn. This is a Peter Parker who lives in the MCU, if Homecoming established who he is and gave us glimpses of the hero underneath the naive, star struck good natured but selfish boy Peter was, then Far From Home removed the crutch of Tony Stark from his life and asked how would Peter handle a problem/threat one his own? Poorly is the answer, he spends most of the move not even wanting to get involved because he just wants to talk to a girl he likes and then when things get even worse he starts thinking he's not ever going to be the kind of hero that Stark was... But Stark wasn't a hero because he was always solving problems the 1st time, he always made bad calls and fucked up but THEN he did what was right and fixed them (or tried to). So at the end that's what Peter does. But every action has a consequence so he loses his identity and ultimately has to make the kind of sacrifice that we all know Spider-Man to make if he wants to do what's right. I think No Way Home was a fantastic film and an even better Spider-Man movie but only because Homecoming and Far From Home took the time to let this version of Peter Parker actually grow up and make his mistakes. I hate that I feel like I have to clarify this but I'm not saying that you or anyone who doesn't like any number of these MCU spidey films is wrong, you're entitled to your own opinions. I just wanted to bring up this because your take on Far From Home is one a lot of people share but I don't think it is entirely fair to say that No Way Home is the best of the trilogy just because it gives us the payoff for this version of the character that the other 2 movies helped build up. Just something to think about I guess...

You perfectly summed up exactly how I felt about the film and MCU's Spider-Man now, great video

Thankss maurice Your "what need to happens in no way home" Video is one of the Most influential video for me that gives me high hopes and hype myself up until the day i watch it on cinema, and after the 15th december the movies indeed exceed my expectations and make me really happy And become easily My Most Favorite superhero movies of all time

I can't wait to talk about this movie with my kids 30 years from now.

This hits everything I felt. Can’t wait for part 2!

After all that has happened in this few years, we needed this shot of happiness in hour lives.

I don't mind the first two but to be honest this was my all-time favorite of the Tom Holland trilogy just with I'm excited where they're going to take the character and I hope they don't forget everything they put in place for the future movies

Thanks for uploading on my birthday homie g 😎

FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE YOU PREDICTED THE ENDING

Awesome video!

Why did I even take a break from watching your vids, they so good

Been waiting for your review more than anyone else’s lol

No Way Home was the first time (for me at least) that Spider-Man in the MCU actually had weight, sacrifices and consequences throughout. Spider-Man No Way Home is cinema.

Most craziest fan experience no way home has given, I would definitely imagine how much crazier multiverse and madness will give .

I completely agree with this video. Tbf, I had the same opinions on Homecoming and FFH, I already knew that, so it isn’t too shocking. What is different though, is that I consider this film better than Spider-Man 2002. Not better than Spider-Man 2 and definitely not better than Into the Spider-Verse... but this film is top 3 for me. Tiny SPOILERS: What I think is the best thing this film delivers... is the fact that it promises us that the next trilogy will be even better and be more in tone with Insomniac or Raimi. Also, I really want Spoder-Man to cameo in F4. Trying to get a job, I want to see that on screen.

I genuinely don't get the disliking towards FFH, I mean, fair enough, your opinion, but it's brilliant!

I believe the writers did take the negative criticism from youtubers and finally fixed Peter Parker,

Holy that’s one smooth transition into the ad

Andrew had the best 1st movie, Tobey the best 2nd, and built from that, Tom had the best 3rd imo.

Watching this movie with a passionate audience was an unbelievably cathartic experience.

Willem Dafoe wass manusing in this movie

Fave MCU movie hands down This one did everything i was hoping it would do, i only have very small critiques but other than that? Loved it!!

Thank you for adding spoiler free on the thumbnail 😭

Imo, I liked No way home is better than the Raimi movies. Mainly cause it hurts so much seeing everything Peter is going through. While Raimi's movies do that, it has a lighter tone. Ofc these movies are without a doubt different, and Raimi's movies without a doubt are more consistent than No Way Home, NWH still feels slightly darker and like we're seeing a new version of the Origin of Spider Man in a way. (Might feel like this since I'm a sucker for origin stories...) I appreciate No Way Home a lot. The weight of this movie is showed me that MCU's Spider Man can be great as well!

I was waiting for this video!

Will only critique 2 points regarding Homecoming and Far From Home. Yeah, Toomes was screwed over at 1st, but he's not a blue collar little guy anymore, he's an arms dealer dealing with alien technology that causes a lot of damage. Peter was completely in the right to stop him. As for Far From Home, Beck was freaking psychopath who was bitter Tony took his technology to use for therapy, you know, mental health, something Tony knows all about given his PTSD and would want to help people get over. Beck didn't need help, he needed to be in jail. Granted I didn't like Far From Home became, really, using another villain that has a bone to pick with Tony, let Spiderman be his own man. We could have seen Scorpion and the rise of the Sinister Six, maybe have Toomes be a wild card where you're not sure if he's going to help or hurt Peter, but nope. Granted, this movie fixed all my issues with Far From Home, so I'm not complaining. I agree, this film was great.

Thank you for no spoilers, the cinemas are all booked out...

I was holding my tears as the aunt died then I nearly cried when I saw how lonely Peter was and how annoying that new reported was if it wasn’t as sad and showed no progress in the end I would’ve been far more happy :(

Willem Dafoe and Tom were great but I hink there was an an actor in this movie that was even better than Willem Dafoe. I won't name names but you could say this unamed person did amazingly well.

great video!

I think they went with the direction for the first two films how it went because they wanted a Spider-man to interact with the previous Avengers like Ironman and Cap, but since they knew their contracts were nearing the end, they had to go for a drastic route. Now that all the stuff with previous heroes are done, and since they found a way to explain multiverse shenanigans, they are able to clean the slate and have Spider-man be who we knew he is in the future movies he will be in.

Tiktok has messed up my brain when you said “understand where he’s coming from” my thoughts when somewhere else

This movie solved the all problems i had with far from home. It's like they actually listened to all the criticism i had. Now I'm finally excited for mcu spiderman. Also, them not inserting any jokes in the end focusing heavily on tom's emotion was such a great decision that i didn't expect from marvel. Great respect given to the characters. Except that ned asspull ofc.

Ah man....that long take alone had me moist

Interstellar Ranger commence looking pretty hype though.

3:01 It's funny you should mention that because that's exactly what I did when I went to see it a second (and then third) time.

This guy's review changes every year

excellent video

Movies not perfect. Not my favorite Spider-Man movie. But still pretty good.

I don't know guys, but I think he doesn't like Far From Home. I'm not sure, just a hunch

super fast building mode ;)

Dude, I am SO happy to hear that you're so happy as well! I really like your content, your humor, your style and I'm also so happy to see that someone who loves Spider-man as much as me loved this movie as well. That was SO. FREAKING. GOOD. Spider-man 2 is still the best Spider-man movie because it's a goddamn masterpiece, but I'll be lying if I don't say that No Way Home is a close second (on my heart at least). Try to see Far From Home as a part of a three movies long origin story, maybe it will change your view a little. As for Green Goblin, I was overjoyed at how Willem Dafoe stole the show and made it his own. I agree with you, he was way eviler than in Spider-man. In SP, Green Goblin was evil, mean and ruthless, but No Way Home GG is DIABOLICAL. He chose to screw MCU Peter over just because he can and I love him for it!

you missed the opportunity to include how electro regrew his hair for the ad

Peter had no clue about Beck’s backstory lol

aunt may dying was so sad

6:40 Wrong bc Tobey Peter did appeal to Ock's better nature in Spider-Man 2 and Flint's in Spider-Man 3. Even Norman in Spider-Man 1. Andrew Peter tried to reason with Connors and Max, too. Even his version of Goblin. In the other films they couldn't be reasoned with and there was never a chance to really appeal to them until it was too late because their respective Spider-Men were too busy trying not to get killed and they were too caught up in the havoc they were causing to listen anyway. The underlying understanding in the older films was that it was too late to truly save them. Tom Peter was able to help them only bc he was able to capture them and had the technology/magic to do that and develop cures. A lot of it was circumstantial convenience. All the villains knowing Spidey was Peter already and their potential fates were also wake-up calls that made them more willing to change.

I’m a little impressed you managed to pull this off without spoilers lol

Nostalgia is powerful drug

So disappointed my theatre was really quiet. I wanted cheers.

i feel the same with the opinion on the first act like i feel like that was basically how this trilogy was still tom's peter being a kid and reckless until.... the death and yeah *finally* we see the tone of spiderman we are familiar with, heavy with unexpected moments of reality and responsibility that hit hard.

I wouldn't say I felt as strongly as you do about FFH, but I certainly did not feel any optimism about the future of Spider-Man following it. I definitely feel optimistic following NHW, and the reasons why are very much what you stated here.

The one problem i had was that sometimes it was too obvious that the background was a green screen, ofc the virus stuff couldnt let them shoot outside for too long but sometimes it was obvious thst a green screen was used
