I really felt for Andrew Garfield. When he says “I want to fight an alien. I’m so lame.” Then Tobey tells him he’s amazing, that made me smile. But when he catches MJ and he’s crying, that was beautiful. They didn’t have to do that, but I love them for giving him that moment.
I really hope all the positive feedback convinces Sony to cut a deal with Marvel to continue the Amazing Spiderman while we maybe take a hiatus from Tom's Spiderman.
Willem Dafoe killed it again. That fight in the apartment leading to May's death was so good. The way he just laughed as Peter was punching him and the brutality of the fight was fantastic.
@@jojo-he5gj exactly what I thought as I was watching. All I heard was “You have nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength” coming from Joker
It seems people are NOW using the word "heartwarming" instead of "wholesome". Thank you. I was sick of that.....ugly word. I'm glad you sheep are trending a word that sounds less......feminine.
Andrew really stole the spotlight for me. Thats nothing against Tobey and hes always a personal fav of mine but you can tell Andrew went all in on his performance plus he now has a better script to work with.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was the fact that William Defoe can be more horrifying than any mask just by smiling !! I loved how no one was there “just for the check”, every actor put so much into the movie and it really paid off !👍
Willem Dafoe apparently rallied for the original part, so I’m not surprised he’d return again. He’s one of those perfect casting choices that’s hard to find.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how incredible Willem Dafoe is as the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn? He was nothing short of amazing in this movie. Just phenomenal acting
Dude had me thinking i was watching a horror/thriller film when he turned into the goblin. And i agree with you 100% on the part about him being amazing! Lol.
the emotion on andrew's face when he saved mj is almost beyond description. it was almost like he finally got some forgiveness from the universe for losing gwen. just incredible.
i would have liked it more if holland tried the same webbing techique to catch MJ then that is when andrew swings in flings it away and catches her manually. Would have been a nice extra touch and also a learning moment for holland never to try that with anyone. Not to forget that they are more durable than normal people and that it can be easy to forget that. Not just saving someone but by avoiding another spiderman making the exact same whiplash mistake. But....we can't have everything so it was still a great moment to see regardless.
I just realized that the title of this movie, "No Way Home", actually means a lot for Tom's Peter Parker: He lost Aunt May and he got erased out of the memory of his loved ones. His idea of "home" was completely gone. I also loved how much Andrew was pouring into the movie. I hope that if Sony does Sinister Six, Andrew will be our Spidey.
Right! I love it. Homecoming and Far From Home both worked well in terms of their respective themes and overall plots, but No Way Home actually made me think, "Oh... the title is low-key a spoiler," after watching the movie.
It also has meaning for the other characters, too, particularly some of the villains. Since some of them originally died in their universes, if they get sent back via the spell getting reversed, they die, so they really have no way home.
100%, he was so good that I wanted more and more of him. He was on another level, and that MJ save was the most emotional I felt in that film. It made me realize that Tobey and Tom had (generally) decent movies, so their performances, while great, never needed to be exceptional, whereas Andrew (and Emma too) elevated TASM to a level it didn't deserve considering what they had to work with. I hope Andrew can look back with more fondness about his Spiderman journey now, I hope he got healed like all the others in the movie did!
He is by far the best actor out of the 3. Just watched it said the same thing to my friend. Even though Tom outdid himself, Andrew is just magnificent and show-stealing.
I love how literally everyone loved Andrew Garfield. He was such a great spiderman. Hope they make TASM3. Garfield is due all the love and respect. With the minimum time he had on screen he delivered so much more. Everyone is talking about Garfield. Sign of a great actor
It was never Garfield that was the problem, it was Sony just doing terribly with the writing. Garfield was always great in the role, but it doesn't matter if the rest of the movie doesn't deliver.
@@bmagada Dude, they hired the guys who did the Transformer movies and Star Trek into Darkness. Those screenwriters are terrible and only have jobs because anyone is willing to watch popular properties even with mindless action.
Andrew Garfield has one face for every emotion, every scenario in every movie he ever did lol. Not just the Spiderman movies, but all movies. He is only cast because he is white and pretty.
Everybody was great, but Andrew and Dafoe were the standouts to me. Dafoe was the best version of the Green Goblin to date. He was mean, vicious, and brutal; plus that apartment fight was one of the best scenes in the movie. As for Andrew, he brought his A game which shows that he still really cares about playing the role of Spider-Man. Also, the scene where he saves MJ and starts to tear up was the best redemption that his Spider-Man could have had. Overall, this movie was the best.
As for both Tobey and Andrew, I think they both deserve to be Spider-Man again in their own universes. Tobey should get one more film that can be a proper send off to the character like Logan was for Wolverine. As for Andrew, bring him back and put him in the same universe as Venom and Morbius.
@@jakemitchell1132 what would that film be because I feel like it would be weird to do a three because you can't do a after no way home movie because theres simply things that would be drastic changes. For example I'm pretty sure Gwen would be a live and that along is a giant deference. I guess you could say the endgame time travel rules applie and start from there but even then I don't think a post no way home movie would be good he had a great send off let's leave it at that
@@jakemitchell1132 What about Andrew being the Spider-Man that gets brought back somehow by Strange and joins the Avengers for a couple movies? And Tom can remain just in the stand-alone Spidey movies in Boston because that's where he chooses to be to be near MJ? Seeing Parker and Banner as the scientists helping the Avengers could be great. Just an idea...
I legit cried during that scene. I may not have seen Amazing Spider Man 2.. but I read about it and know about it and saw clips later... I had to basically cover my mouth because I was on the verge of losing it.
I love that this movie paid respect to every Spiderman movie. Not only that, but it paid respect to us fans listening to what we wanted (the cameos, bringing back daredevil, staying true to the Spiderman characters, actually giving these guest characters a real role, etc. etc. etc.)
My favorite scene might sound a little weird, but it’s the scene where Tobey talks to Doc Ock after Ock removes Electro’s arc reactor. They just sound so happy to see each other, and as allies this time, it was just super heartwarming.
The only complaint I have there is that Peter couldn't possibly have heard what Ock said to complete his sentence. It's something a lot of script writers do to make a scene sound cooler but if you check it again, Peter arrives a little after Ock says "The power of the sun" and also says it very quiet in a scenery that up to that point has been very noisy. Him completing the sentence makes no sense since he wasn't close enough to hear what Ock said.
I had a feeling that the movie might end up disappointing me, given the monumental expectations everyone had with it. But, man, it surpassed it and then some! I loved every minute of it and am literally dying to watch it again. Seeing the three Spidermen together was an experience I will never forget. I and my friend kept saying "I still can't believe we are actually seeing this" throughout the last part of the film. It was just insane. This is what a cinema experience is all about. You can have all the OTTs in the world, but nothing beats enjoying a film like No Way Home with a packed crowd, screaming and crying in joy. This was the best moment of the year for me.
@@ian12346 Haha. Yeah, I got carried away and exaggerated. But I am pretty excited to see it again. I hope I won't need an ambulance to visit the theater though.
I still can't believe they managed to live up to the potential this idea had. It could have been *so* easy to screw up - Chris mentions that they could have just had Tobey and Andrew show up and say one liners, but they and the villains ended up actually being fleshed out characters that continued from their individual stories. That was *exactly* what this movie needed.
@@illustriousrocket4476 Not only did their characters continue from their individual stories, the movie also gave their individual arcs some closure. At least in Andrew's case. I can't believe how beautifully they did it. We all felt that they might appear just during the final battle. But, boy, were we wrong. And happily so! The interactions between the three Spideys will remain in my memory for a long time. I want to savor that again on the big screen.
As a friend of mine pointed out as well: they needed Doc Oc to contain Electro, since his tentacles were literally designed to contain energy. So good arrival while Electro was running amok was super timely.
I like the respect they gave to Toby..I got the feeling he was the alpha spidey, his ability to produce his own web and also his ability to quite easily stop Hollands spidey from killing the green goblin were kind of a "take a bow sir" moment!.
LOL Just no, You got the feeling of NOTHING with this "aLpHa SpiDeY" nonsense you're going on about. Stop being a fanboy with when you say nonsense like that. Obviously everyone loves Tobey's spiderman but saying this "take a bow " is just pure fanboy nonsense idealism, come on man, that's ridiculous thing to say entirely. And him being able to "produce his own web" is FAR from being an "aLphA sPiDey" lol imagine saying that with a straight face as that was just a creative decision that Sam Raimi came up with, FAR from being this "alpha" nonsensical notion. And it's insanely nonsensical how you take a powerful emotional moment like tobey stopping holland's spiderman from killing green goblin to think it's some kind of "HURR DURR LOOK HOW AMAZING HE IS AS ALPHA HURR DURR", no bro, you've COMPLETELY missed the point of that scene entirely. Stop, seriously just stop. This tobey fanboyism is getting out of hand when said like this.
8:00 "I want to go back to Andrew's universe" Totally agree, I hope they bring back Andrew as Sony's "Venom-verse" Spiderman, since now we have a separate Symbiote in Avengers-verse. Also, it really felt like every scene with the three Peters just hanging out and talking, was genuine. Like it really felt like Tom, Tobey, and Andrew talking to eachother. Normally I'd hate that it felt so meta, but for whatever reason it totally worked in this movie.
I love how this film serves as something of a sequel for ALL the Spider-Man films. It doesn’t just give Tom Holland a well rounded trilogy but it gives an excellent retrospective to the events of Andrew and Tobey’s films. Tobey getting to save Norman and Andrew getting to save Max was so satisfying because that’s where they “failed” in their original movies. Plus that scene with Tobey and Dock Ock was emotionally touching. My childhood has officially come full circle with this and I absolutely love it.
This was a satisfying closure to the last 2 spidermen saga, it even did justice to sandman, electro and lizard seeing how they all got to go back being subtle of their dispositions and not vile towards the end. Same thing could be said about Norman Osborn, he got a hold of his goblin nanites and was cognizant of the farfetched situation he put everyone in. Really wish we get to see more of him in spiderverse or in any of the future multiverse movies.
It also ingeniously served to make the ENTIRE Homecoming Trilogy as the Spider-Man origin story, except the narrative role of Uncle Ben has been divided among Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, the other Spider-Men, and Aunt May over the course of 6 films. The Spider-Man at the end of No Way Home is the true beginning of MCU Spider-Man's journey as a true thematic Spider-Man, the one that truly understands the idea that "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility."
@@i_Made_That They will be adapting Kraven's last hunt for college trilogy. I mean, they have casted taylor johnson as kraven and a little bit of symbiote was left behind. They are doing the alien symbiote and kraven's last hunt for the college trilogy. It might be really great. Just think of it.
I loved the end scene when Dr Strange says to Peter: "You have to understand, that everyone who knows and loves you, we... We'd have no memory of you." The 'we' is so poignant in this line, because Dr. Strange practically says to Peter that he loves him. Probably thinking back to the moment with Iron Man in End Game, realising that he would now lose another friend.
@@lonewolf604 no shit it prolly inspired him. He has never seen that big of a sacrifice, especially now it's coming from a kid that didn't know that he could ask MIT to reconsider his and his friends acceptance (btw this is one of my favorite and IMO realistic features of a kid)
This was the most Spider-Man thing I've ever seen. It was pure, unfiltered, distilled Spider-Man. It was a love letter to the comics and movies and at the same time built on all three Spider-Men. It wasn't just looking back and going 'remember this?' it actually developed all three of them. They made Green Goblin the arch nemesis. I was so surprised how he wasn't just a token character, he was the main villain. They had a reason for the other Spider-Men too, in that they acted like elder brothers to Tom. It had jokes, it had drama, it had great fights. Green Goblin and Spider-Man having a superpowered wrestling match? Holy shit that was good. It was a joy. A complete joy.
Right? I was scared that Doc Oc was just gonna show up, be detained, and that'd be it. Heck, when he was "defeated" so early on in the movie, it made me nervous, but seeing him reformed and *human* again, fighting for the good guys? That was even better. Doc Oc was always my favorite person behind all the villains we've had.
@@Cometstarlight I could talk all day about how well they treated Doc Ock. It was perfect. It FELT like the exact same character, and the pay off of finally seeing him redeemed, was super emotional and earned. Seeing him finally reunite with Peter after all these years, and both of them being so happy to see each other, there was a heavy mix of elation and heartbreaking tragedy. Those two should have been lifelong friends forever had it not been for the accident, and once again it was a joy to revisit one of the greatest comic book movies ever made.
I just realized something no one is talking about. Just like Andrew Garfield got to redeem himself from letting Gwen die by saving MJ, Toby got to redeem himself by saving green goblin from being killed with the same weapon that he died with in their universe.
I've never cried as many times in a Marvel movie as I did with this one! So good!!! I hope they bring Garfield back. I liked his movies though and I'm so glad that everyone else is finally recognizing how great he was! In my opinion, this is easily the best Marvel movie. Loved it!!!
I cant thank Kevin enough for bringing back Andrew Garfield - what he brings to the table as Spider-man is just amazing and he is easily my favorite of them three and I hope they get to make a 3rd film with him
I agree with you. Andrew's few emotional scenes when he reminisced about Gwen, especially when he was about to cry after saving MJ really hit me. Acting wise, Andrew is the best out of the 3 imo
I honestly think Andrew Garfield turned in an amazing performance here. One of my favorite things from him is how he would subtly show elements of his Peter Parker in the background. E.g. having a discussed face when talking about Tobie's webs, or when he's dashing around the lab he would almost run into people/things in his aloofness.
This film was beautiful. Andrew’s Peter becoming darker because of Gwen’s death is OUTSTANDING, him looking at Peter and MJ with a heartbroken look before being reminded by Tobey that he can find love again is brilliant. I love the fact that “Great Power, comes Great Responsibility” connects the Peter’s just as much as their names and their masks. Them talking about their own unique individual heartbreaks, comparing villains and Tobey and Andrew being AWFUL partners because they aren’t used to it and that’s when Holland’s Spider-Man to me establishes himself with this one moment as a different Spider-Man by becoming a leader and making them work together successfully as a team because he was an Avenger and learnt how to work in a team quickly. The ending to this film is perfect and genuinely got me so excited for the future. An apartment, a homemade suit that looks and feels like Spider-Man, a fun swing through New York and a Spider-Boy being replaced by the Spider-Man. Peter leaving Ned and MJ after he made the world forget who Peter Parker is so he can let them live a happy life (something he always wanted for them) is perfect and a great ending to the trilogy, I expect to see them in Iron Heart as she is in MIT with them. And yes, I want to see TASM 3. A few of my favourite little moments were Peter punching Goblin and screaming at him and with each punch the more Goblin smiles and laughs Electro and Andrew talking about a black Spider-Man and how there has to be one somewhere (foreshadowing???) The Peter’s comparing villains Tobey and Otto having a reunion “well it’s good to see you dear boy” Tobey throwing himself in front of the Goblin glider and preventing Norman from dying, a nice nod to when he moved out of the way of the Glider in Spider-Man 1 which caused Norman to die.
i would actually be totally satisfied if this IS the ending for tom’s tenure in the role, because it’s been the perfect long con reverse origin story. he was given everything all at once, then he slowly started to lose stuff, then in this movie he made the choice to give up the rest and start over from the very bottom. i think it’s completely brilliant.
Agreed! We basically saw a three film (plus Civil War) origin story for Tom Holland's Spidey. Now he's the Spider-Man everyone knows. Back to basics, homemade suit, no family, experienced devastating loss...and has own apartment! lol
I am a bit worried on where they would even go from here on. Because this movie was the peak, future tom spidey films would get underwhelming since he had to start over from scratch.
@@Regent192 I disagree. I feel like this is the real spiderman. He is no longer iron man's protegee but spiderman. He is just a nobody who running around and trying to make the best of what he has.
Maybe they will stop individual SpiderMan movies for a few years but have him pop up in combo movies (eg for a secret wars or daredevil matchup, or Thunderbolts) - they will definitely use Tom though if he’s willing; it’d be great to see him in a College years trilogy where he trains up Miles (akin to the PlayStation game that they took some inspiration from)
Andrew Garfield is THE perfect example of a phenomenal actor suffering from bad writing. He absolutely owned every scene he was in, he outshined Tobey and Tom with his charisma and acting skills; he proved that he’s not only the best Spider-Man but also the best Peter Parker. Unfortunately, he‘ll probably always be known as „the other guy“ because Sony and the writers ruined his 2 movies.
I hope this film earns him a third outing, and maybe even make his Spidey canon-bisexual like he was suggesting when they dumped him the first time. Multiverse, why not!
Eh. Holland is a better actor. I do agree Garfield gave a better performance in this movie than Toby - but Toby hasn't played Spiderman in 15 years and hes gotta be approaching 50 years old. Garfield absolutely redeemed himself with this film and I'd watch another Spiderman movie with him as the lead. But still he is my least favorite of the 3.
@@MakeTheWay00 Even if you say Andrew wasn't a good spiderman or Peter Parker(which disagree with), saying Tom Holland is a better actor than him is objectively false. Andrew is freaking start on screen and on stage. The man is constantly putting out A-class performances in movies like Silence, Hacksaw Ridge, Breath, Social Network etc, all of them bangers with great reception from critics and the general audience alike. He even won a Tony for his amazing performance in Angels of America. On the other hand, the only movie that I know Tom Holland is in other than Spiderman is The Heart of the Sea(The Moby Dick movie) and in that one his acting is mediocre.
When Tom hugs and thanks Toby and Andrew in the end, it really felt like he was thanking them for passing the spidey torch to him, Tom was thanking them as spidey but also as a kid who has enjoyed them from the audience... in that way it felt like a hug from the audiences as well..
It’s still extremely impressive to me that they managed to bring back EVERY SINGLE original actor in the last 20 years for this movie. Edit: *Just found out Conners and Flint were reused scenes from previous movies and they didn’t manage to actually get their actors. Kinda sad about that, but it’s still impressive how they managed to fool us.*
Is movies like this, that I pay to watch in the cinema. The emotional feels and cheers by all the fans, not half bake rubbish pulling out there butt like warner brothers does with there DC movies.
When I watched Andrew on screen, in No Way Home, I believed he cried real tears because he loved Spiderman so much. And the line "I love you guys" from Andrew... I think that was from Andrew himself, and not Peter Parker. I will say that Andrew Garfield will go down in history as a great Spiderman. And I hope that means something to him.
It's a shame his movies were subpar...but in a way I enjoyed his performances even with tht terrible script...but what sold me on Andrew was the scene with Gwen's death...it was so heartbreaking ..I actually teared up and I never cry for movies....seeing him redeem himself in no way home saving mj was truly something I wanted to happen so bad and it actually did
I LOVE the little moments with Tobey's back cracking and Garfield struggling with being "the worst Spiderman". What a hilarious bit! Having to be reassured he was "Amazing" and that he's of course "Spiderman 3". I loved the dynamics in this film so much
I don’t know why, but the part that made me the most emotional was when Andrew and Tobey looked at each other for the first time. Maybe it’s because I had Tobey my whole childhood and the “Tobey vs Andrew” conversation was very relevant when I was in high school. Either way, that bit hit me in my feels
I especially loved when Tobey webbed up Andrew’s web shooters. It was just a cool moment showing how he was basically the wise, old master of the 3, being the most experienced. “Sit down young blood”
Man it’s wild watxhin the spiderman of your childhood, to teenage years with Garfield and adult years with Holland I’m 22 and I was so amazed how well they put the 3 spidermen from different generations together
@@skywalker2676 I've never thought about that before but that really is such a cool and unique experience that some of us have that maybe the other fans dont.
@@REChronic54 yea man. Shit i remember watching spider-man 3 in theaters the hype was real for that movie. I still enjoy it despite the flaws. But that era of tobey movies was a great time. The spiderman 2 game is still the best spiderman game by far
Man.... Words cannot express the emotions that i felt in this movie. I came into this movie with the expectation it was gonna be a fun and thrilling movie like far from home. I had no idea that this emotional and tragic rollar coaster was coming. Just seeing peter parker's (Tom Holland's) life just turn completely upside down due to his reveal as spiderman was heartbreaking to me. He was forced to move to a new home, his future dreams were crushed, everyone think hes a villain... All of this causing him to reach out to Dr Strange out of desperation to brainwash everyone just to restore his life again. Only causing everything to get so much worse for him. He involved himself with the wrong crowd causing Aunt May to die. All of this is his fault and he is devastated by it and he knew that he was the only one to fix it by making everyone in his life including the only people close to him at this point to forget about him. This movie was without a doubt incredible but geez this hurt to watch
This movie just really brought me back to being a child again. Especially as tobey came out. I felt 9 years old all over again. I felt an innocent, childlike happiness I haven’t felt for a long LONG time. It was absolutely phenomenal.
I agree whole heartedly with Andrew Garfield. He was always my favorite Spider-Man though I didn’t like his movies but in this movie he felt like an old friend. I just couldn’t put my finger on it and to see him address his failures it really gave even more power to Gwen’s death.
I think it's because he most embodied that comic book idea of Spider-Man. He captured it in his own movies, and he also has it in this movie. He's an amazing Spider-Man.
@@VaultBoy13 exactly! Peter Parker to me was always more of a “nerd” than a “dork” in comics. He’s handsome but nerdy and Toby kinda always came off a bit too dorky / less charismatic than the Peter of the comics. Garfield really brought it in this movie and it was really stronger for it.
I’m so glad I went into this movie without it being spoiled. I honestly didn’t expect them to do it. I thought we’d get cameo teases, maybe a scene or even a “just in time” appearance at the final battle. But no. They didn’t just give us versions of the characters played by the previous actors. They gave us the *actual* characters for almost half the movie. From the moment Willem Dafoe said the meme line, I realized this movie was all about giving us what we wanted to see, and my goodness did they do it well. They gave the Peters entire scenes to banter and have all the discussions that fans have dreamt up over the years. They even took the emotional arcs from each character’s previous films and resolved them. Garfield catching MJ-something he failed to do last time that shook him to his core-and lingering on the emotion of that moment was one of the most moving things I’ve experienced watching any of the MCU films. It was not a perfect movie, of course, and I can think of a few flaws. But once again, the MCU has delivered something I simply haven’t experienced before, and for that, it has a place in cinema history.
Andrew Garfield saving MJ was by far the best moment of the entire movie...made me cry...speaking of MJ, I really loved how they portrayed her...very supportive, very caring!
What I loved about that scene was that it completely justified having both Spider-Men in the movie. They needed to be there to serve the story and the Holland-Parker character's arc, it made it clear they were not just for empty fan service which is why it hit so different to other movies that have tried the same kind of thing. Their initial appearance might have been fan service on its own, but without that scene on the rooftop to solidify why they were there, it wouldn't have had the same gravitas and depth. Hats off to everyone involved in the film for not cutting that!
@@Pileven yes Dune is also my top 10 but there are other movies that I liked more than Dune and No Way Home and I guarantee its the movie that not everyone can enjoy and that's what I liked about it lol
Another thing that needs atention is the fact that sandman is the only villain from the 3rd Tobey movie, like SR wanted. But he was forced to include Venon in
A love letter to Spider-Man fans and a Christmas present to Marvel fans. I loved this movie so much and watching this literally after rewatching all Spider-Man films from Tobey’s trilogy to Tom’s Trilogy made the experience so much better and the nostalgia was hitting. I’m definitely gonna go see this film again, and is now officially my favorite movie of the year and possibly of all time
Since everyone has said everything else, I like to talk about Doctor Strange. I really love the fact that at the end when Peter told him to cast the spell, he didn't just do it. Instead, he asks him to think again seriously and only when seeing Pete is determined that he casted it. He still remembers that Spider-Man is still a kid despite the crisis. He probably won't have done it if Pete said "no" despite him being the source of all this crap So excited for his movie. It definitely has the potential to be one of the best MCU movie according to the trailer. Fcking hyped
Yes I agree Andrew did do a great job. Seeing him actually felt it was a complete package. I’m sure the reason he did was he himself must have wanted to do better since his movies aren’t really the best. That one scene in Ned’s home where Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire show up is my favourite scene in the whole movie! It was so warming and just wonderful. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it in tears. I really wish they make a Spider Man 4 with Toby Maguire and Amazing Spider Man 3 with Garfield. I think Holland had a perfect ending and he turned into the real Spider Man we love. Giving him a little break and working on other Spider Man movies would be really awesome.
I will never understand how people can love movies that are as generic and surface level as the Spider-man home- movies and MCU-movies in general (with a few exceptions.. sort of). It’s not just the bland music and bland cinematography/camera work.. it’s the script… These movies are not even CLOSE to being as deep and touching as the Raimi-trilogy… There are no real themes and I can hardly get emotionally invested even when I try… Even most high school movies are deeper and more touching than the Spider-man home trilogy, even The amazing spider-man 1 and 2 honestly, they are clearly more well written… The home-trilogy has such fast pacing and so many jokes that it feels like a trailer and the movie felt half as long as it was. These movies are just comedys without the edge or the heart. Most comedies either have edge (Borat) or heart (Superbad) - and the Home-movies have neither. They feel so so so EMPTY, like all marvel-movies almost… I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE TOUCHING AND HAVE ANY DEPTH…. It would be one thing if people just watched them as cheap popcorn entertainment, like Roger More-era James Bond-movies, but no, people actually think these movies are meaningful, and they get mad when Martin Scorsese compared them to theme park rides. THEY ARE THEME PARK RIDES!! Spider-man 2 is fkn MILES above all these pacable okay heartless studio trash… Even Spider-man 3… No way home is NOT a true spider-man movie just because an important character died and the last 10 minutes were touching. THERE ARE NO THEMES! These things just HAPPEN! The movie didn’t have a structure at all!
This was a Monumental breathtaking experience. Seeing all the Spider-Man back as well as the whole theater packed in the parking lot was next level. 😭💙🙏 Andrew catching MJ was my favorite 💙💙
Seeing Tobey again almost made me cry tears of joy cause he’s the reason why I love spider-man and seeing him get another chance made me really happy and made me feel like I was 5 years old again since seeing the first movie in theaters
Some notes I have from my watch through: I truly do feel like the MCU Spider-Man trilogy was almost like an origin story for the character. Andrew Garfield is a gem, and that scene where he saves MJ moved me to tears This is the only Spider-Man movie to have a complete rogues gallery fighting Peter and it not feeling necessarily rushed
Spiderman No Way Home feels like it was made as a giant Christmas present. I mean all the writers sat down and said let's give a huge Christmas gift to everyone this year. It had all meme reference, all theories, Tobey Maguire, Iron-boy finally becoming legit Spider-man, everyone reuniting and all. I loved how Norman Osborn misses Oscorp and his son, and Tobey remembers Harry's death that continuity was great.
at the end of this movie, Tom Holland's Spiderman became the classic Spiderman: nobody knows his identity and he chooses to remains like that, and his suit is handmade by him.
I love how emotional AG was. When he caught MJ and was in literal tears, so was I. I also liked how emotional Dr. strange got when he told Peter in the end that all of his loved ones would forget him. It was nice to see he added himself to that 'loved ones' group and how emotional he got at the thought.
I'm so glad that Andrew is getting the love that he deserves, his performance in this movie was incredible, he stole the show and I can't wait to see what Marvel has in store for him next 🔥
Dude. This movie cleared the slate. Disney Marvel and the MCU is done with Sony's Spidermen. Now they can pretend that no one knows who he is, and he can live in a self contained bubble just outside of both the MCU and Sony's spider verse properties. So, unless they decide to work together again in the near future, the Disney Sony merger is likely over. Also, Merry Christmas!
Something I really liked was how similar it felt to the PS4 Spider-Man, Insomniacs Spider-Man is my favorite and the ending of NWH reminded me of the intro of Spider-Man PS4, it’ll be cool to see Toms Spider-Man grow up and it’ll be exciting to see a Movie adaptation of Spider-Man as an adult.
The MCU has never gotten me to cry, not even at Endgame. But damn, when Andrew Garfield saved MJ I shed a couple of tears. I love Andrew Garfield's Spiderman, I would also love more with him.
There were just too many incredible moments to count on this movie. The Spiderman's chemistry, Andrews redemption, Andrew Garfield on general in this movie, Willem Dafoe being the most menacing he has EVER been as the green goblin, that gut punch of an ending, Electro actaully being awesome, Aunt May delivering the great responsibility line perfectly, the insane amount of hilarious of quotable lines, I just... I never thought an MCU movie this great and gratifying could ever be made. It's the type of thing that makes me wish Stan Lee was still around to see this.
I dont like how Spider-man injected the Super Villains with a mystery cure without thinking about the long-term side effects or having any peer-review studies to deem his injections safe.
I just saw it today and thought it was VERY well done. This is coming from someone that also saw all the Maguire and Garfield movies in the theater, along with every other Marvel movie. Most of my appreciation is probably leaning on the nostalgia factor but I was an emotional mess during the last hour of this movie. It had some flaws for sure with the jumping around and me thinking "how did that work?" but bringing all the memories back made this a masterpiece for me. I'm 40 years old and went alone since my wife doesn't like these kind of movies and my five year old isn't ready for them yet. The guy I was sitting next to was also there alone, my age, and we both had a nice conversation when it was over. Part of our discussion was similar to what Chris said in this video about being able to witness all these characters come together. I had a similar reaction when End Game came out. I was an emotional wreck watching that as well and can only hope the way these movies build up multiple stories and come together like this will continue.
Garfield's Spider-Man didn't use his web shooters when saving MJ. He didn't want to make the same mistake he did with Gwen. He caught her in his arms. The emotion of the scene...soooooo great! What a heavy scene. It was awesome.
Just came out of the movie and I loved it. Only got into the whole MCU this year but I've always enjoyed the 2000's spiderman films as a kid. This film was not just senseless fan service (cough matrix) but just felt right and made with love.
This movie gave me so much. As a child my favourite spiderman was tobey and as the trilogy ended i was hit with the realisation of 'tobey's era is done'. Then when andrew was introduced i was happy that spiderman is back because it is peter parker that i loved as a hero not the actor. Even though andrew's movies was not as good as it could have been, to me it was still spiderman, the guy who saves the neighbourhood and helps the little guy. Then came tom holland who interested me, a kid who spends his time building lego death stars and easily solves math problems and is in the trivia team. Tom's journey as spiderman was filling, from civil war to beating thanos. To end tom's trilogy in such a way where they bring back spidermen i had forgotten about and share a little insight into their lives. Amazing.
My favorite line was when Andrew said: I stopped pulling my punches. Its something so simple yet so true that spiderman can kill his enemies due to beyond captain America strength but he has always held back, but Andrew's spiderman was driven into raw rage at losing Gwen.
Just wanted to add how when he decides not to try to explain who he is to MJ, how they emphasized the takeaway coffee cup and him looking at it, that had the cafe's phrase 'we live to serve' or something like that
I cannot say how much I loved this film. I didn't really watch the Andrew Garfield movies but love him now. The catching MJ scene is obvious but his general presence feels so correct (Also like Ralphie from Parks and Rec but nice). Tobey Maguire is great as slightly older Peter. Fangasm all the way.
What's about the Andrew saving mj scene is that is don't kiss don't kiss don't kiss and actually got some people to laugh in the audience which is really cool for Mexica
Bruh so glad people are loving Andrew, he is a great actor overall. And I also would LOVE to have more movies with him, only thing was the weird electro desing.
Willem DaFoe as Norman Osborn/ Green Goblin Legit even at that age he’s doing this iconic character well , and man seeing him portray this iconic character once again was just simply PERFECTION.
I think my biggest issue with the movie is some scenes were too visually dark and it was kind of hard to see what was happening. Other than that the movie kicked a lot of ass
Dude I felt the same way when I saw the spidermen interacting with each other. I couldn’t comprehend what I was watching the first time. I felt so happy and surprised that it didn’t register in my mind. Needless to say I watched it a second time and I’ll probably watch it a third haha!
I’m happy to see that despite the lackluster movies, people recognize Andrew was a great and passionate Spider-Man. Hopefully he’s seeing the love he’s getting.
Love seeing classic Chris in this review ! You are like Tobey's Spiderman to many of us, Chris. Your reviews through the years have been a thing of beauty to see and we relate to you so much ! So thankful that Soney made this beautiful movie
I love how that Tobey and Andrew weren’t just cameos, and were actually crucial to the plot, while being phenomenal supporting characters. The chemistry between Tom, Tobey and Andrew was just beautiful and done so well. Tobey and Andrew could have just done this movie for the paycheque, but they poured their heart and soul into their performance. Hopefully that Tom, Tobey and Andrew know that us fans are so appreciative of their performance. I will remember this movie for the rest of of my life, and I am certainly not alone in thinking that.
You know why Tobey and Andrew are such great supporting characters? They don't just support Tom because he's the main character on the poster, they support each other, even support the villains to some extent.
I love how everyone could tell that Andrew was the most passionate about returning, he didn’t know if he would play Spider-Man ever again, so he jumped back on the role in the best way possible, hopefully all this praise for him could lead to him being a supporting character in the Venom verse or even TASM 3 🔥
@Thomas Kwok i'd love to maybe see him hop over to the deadpool verse... not pulling punches anymore sounds like a character arc that would fit in really well there
Andrew got the worst deal when it came to his movies so his enthusiasm made perfect sense! I also liked how Toby was there but giving a matured version of the character. I've seen some say he was "phoning" it in and I disagree - it wouldn't have made much sense for Toby to come in with the same energy as Andrew. Toby is visually older, and I'm glad there was a scene that played that up. Both were great, and I'm glad to see Andrew getting to shine in a movie with a better team.
When Defoe said “I’m somewhat of a scientist myself”, I was the only guy in the theater who laughed, and it made me feel like I was in a secret club lol
@@michaelbernard1041 because of the meme. And the throwback to the time he said it in the first movie, but mostly the meme lol. It was like nobody understood the reference to either instances
Andrew saving MJ was one of the greatest cinema experiences I’ve ever had. The crowd went nuts! I also lost my mind when Tobey walked through a portal, and seeing the old villains - especially Green Goblin. This trilogy was like one big origin story for Tom Holland. A truly spectacular film. Wow.
Andrew Garfield being revealed was amazing. Tobey Maguire's reveal felt...emotional. He is Spider-Man to me. It's like seeing an old best friend that you haven't seen for years. And you remember why you were best friends in an instant.
I never thought in many years we would get to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire again in a new Spider Man movie but here we are and I'm happy to see them getting a second chance especially for Andrew
We witnessed not only 3 generations of Spider-Men, but those 3 generations combining into one. We got to see Andrew Garfield crack Tobey Maguire’s back in Spider-Man costumes, canon in the mcu. Shits crazy lol
That moment with Tobey stopping Tom from killing the Goblin with the glider is incredible. You can see three movies of experience in the look Tobey gives to Tom. I also like how, in the other universes, Uncle Ben died because Peter was selfish, which makes them try to be better, but with Tom Holland, he loses Aunt May because he was selfless and yet he keeps going because it's the right thing to do. Very inspiring stuff.
I think that at this point that should be a staple of canon for Spider-Man: have Ben die because of Peter's selfishness, then have May die because his selfness. I think it is a genius idea that Spider-Man PS4 brought to the table and that I feel should stay, it makes the character go full circle from becoming an obnoxious self serving teen to the greatest hero New York has ever seen.
@@theankh2872 yeah I hope they add this to his background. Though technically the MCU, or MCM is confirmed to be another universe along 616 and 610. So technically it is canon.
I also loved that they didn't do that Sony bullshit of trying to say "With great power, comes great responsibility." in a different way and instead just straight up said it.
They took the time to give each Spidey a big moment that was significant to their character. Andrew is saving MJ as some level of redemption for Gwen. Tobey stops Tom from killing the Goblin since he knows what it's like to kill someone with vengeance in your heart, and finally, Tom makes a massive sacrifice in having everyone who loves him forget about him to keep them safe. This was such a good movie.
And it was so cool how Tom’s walking away from talking to MJ mirrored Tobey walking away from MJ in the first movie at the end to spare her. Very clever parallel.
This movie is a good movie. The pretentious movie critics are so weird saying all superhero movies are for idiots. Sure, some are bad but this ? Nah. This isn't bad. It's not for idiots.
What makes the ending of this movie so good is not just that we now have classic Peter Parker in his shitty apartment, struggling to pay rent, feeling lonely, making his own suit, etc. while being being a superhero, but that unlike other iterations of Spider-Man, THIS Peter wasn't just given a bad hand in life-he actively CHOSE it. For the good of the world, he CHOSE to give up his friends and mentors, CHOSE to give up Stark tech and money, CHOSE to give up his bright future. He sacrificed everything that made him the cool Iron Man Jr. and chose to be classic Spider-Man instead. That, to me, makes this the single most faithful depiction of the heart of Spider-Man we've ever gotten onscreen, even with all the crazy shit thrown in.
I also loved the part when Andrew's Spiderman was calling himself lame, basically poking fun of himself and in way communicating to the audience that he knows his films did not really live up to the success of Toby's Spiderman and also Tom's spiderman. But then Toby's OG Spiderman steps in and tells Andrew that: no, his Spiderman is AMAZING. Which I agree, Andrew was a very good Spiderman in many ways. Using the word AMAZING, is also very clever because Andrew's movies were called The Amazing Spiderman. Such a beautiful and wonderfully written moment.
Yeah I was wondering if everyone was going to get the amazing reference.. And you're right.. It was a subtle reference to his movies being the least successful but I thought he was great in this movie.. I'd watch more of his Spiderman if they give him him good material
If I am choosing between Garfield Spiderman movies and Holland Spiderman movies, I am choosing Garfield always. IMO Holland movies were mediocre to me.
@@kiba7396 Agree. Absolute shit plot. The thing is people do not care about that as long as there are cameos which makes this movie a huge nostalgia bait for the fans. Now, I am not against fan-service that Marvel provides throughout all of their movies, but they lack a good plot and good dialogue.
@@kiba7396 did we Watch the same movie? It was done so because of mysterio exposing his real identity as Peter parker, did you sleep and wake back up in the second act?💀 same with the other nigga that agrees with you lol.
The Andrew Garfield redemption arc is so great to see. I’m glad that people are starting to realize that he was never the problem. He was a genuine Spider-Man fan and great actor who got fucked over by the studios. He absolutely deserves a second chance and I really want him to come back for more movies in his own universe.
@@alextran3147 So theory.... in the Morbius trailer they refer to both Venom and the "San Francisco" incident putting Morbius firmly in the Venomverse. Also in the trailer is a Spiderman poster with the word Murderer written on it. In the new Spiderman Garfield says he quit pulling his punches. Spiderman is known to have enough strength to toss a car easily. That kind of strength would kill a normal human if used on one. So the theory is that Garfield's Spiderman got to the point that he killed people when he stopped pulling his punches. The poster in the Morbius trailer is refering to the Garfield Spiderman. Therefore, the next Venom movie will costar Garfield as the Spiderman of that universe
I’m surprised you didn’t highlight Dafoe’s performance during the hallway fight. It was so brutal and when he smiles as he’s getting punched I was genuinely terrified. Also, the power bomb through like six floors. Such a brutal fight.
I’m so glad people finally got to see what I saw in Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. His movies weren’t the best but he was alway my favorite Spider-Man because of the passion and personality he had for the character I just wished people could see his true acting skills; Andrew is really incredible actor but now more people see that. Even though Tobey will always be the OG, Andrew really deserve the name “The Amazing Spider-Man”
The fact that people are finally seeing how awesome Andrew is, and the fact that we’re even considering the possibility of TASM 3, or something like it, makes me so unbelievably happy.
As someone who didn't care much for Andrew's spiderman and even less so for his movies.. i love the idea of a 3rd. Just give my man a script that's as good as Tom or Tobey's and he'll be fine. That said... I really want to Tobey again lol.. he's the OG.. this multiverse stuff had to have an effect in their universe's so give me a movie with both to explore that!.
