Spider Man No Way Home No Spoiler Review
Spider Man No Way Home is the third of Disney’s Spider Man films. Directed by the previous two’s director Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. This is the first instalment for Tom Holland’s Spider Man to be introduced into phase four of the MCU. Following on from the events of Spider Man: Far From Home where Peter’s identity is revealed by Mysterio. Peter goes through hell trying to protect his loved ones from the onslaught of negative reactions to him.
Plot
This is gonna be the shortest plot description ever because it’s practically impossible to say anything about this movie without spoiling something. The movie is full of all kinds of twists and turns. If you’re OK with spoilers at this point I’ve written a review which contains them here.
Peter begins to get desperate to change what Mysterio did after realising just how badly the people he loves are being hurt just by being close to him. Going to Doctor Strange as a last ditch attempt. He begs Strange to use the time stone to make it so that Mysterio never revealed him. Instead they opt for a memory deletion spell. Peter ruins the spell, though by constantly changing it as Strange is casting it. Doctor Strange is able to contain the spell but not before a bunch of bad guys make their way to his world through the multiverse looking for “Spider Man.” A multidimensional struggle ensues that is as much about morals as it is about strength…
Review
I genuinely think this may be the best Marvel has been since Iron Man 2. They seem to have genuinely listened to concerns that Holland’s Peter was just Iron Man 2.0 and had no personality or struggles outside of that and done what they can in this movie to crate a path for him to create his own story. Using more twists and turns that shocked even me to give Holland’s Spider Man a chance to grow was genuinely a fantastic move. Though I won’t say how.
I honestly went into this movie excited already. Knowing I was going to at least see Doc Ock and the Green Goblin. But the movie doing a fantastic job of juggling multiple different storylines as well as no short amount of humour at the franchise’s own expense. It was far more than I could’ve expected.
This one movie has inspired hope in me for Marvel’s Phase 4.
