— Spider-Man: No Way Home says NO SPOILERS 🚫 (@SpiderManMovie) December 15, 2021
The foremost and the third entry in the series, directed by Jon Watts, is full of fun while offering enough flashbacks from the character’s screen history that’s reminiscent of its first entry. Given the knowledge of Spider-Man fanatics about the series, it will seemingly increase their delight of watching “No Way Home,” but the film has been organized in such a way that even if you didn’t watch Marvel movies in order, and you are watching it for the first time, you will extremely enjoy it as it is bringing all the classic Spiderman villains are coming back.
Continuing from where “Far From Home” left off, Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) has had his identity exposed, hurling his life into complete turmoil. That includes being hunted by the Daily Bugle’s J. Jonah Jameson (played by J.K. Simmons), whose agitating spiel has also got a considerable upgrade in accordance with the digital age.
Marvel is plausibly cautious about spoilers, but enough has been revealed that it can be said with confirmation that the plot deals with hitches related to the multiverse and a rowdy spell cast by Dr. Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch), to whom a distressed Peter has turned his attention for help.
Strange fails to hold in his exasperation, but as he summarizes, for all that Peter has endured, “You’re just a kid.”
If ever, “be careful what you wish for” was true for a movie, it’s this one, as Dr. Strange’s professed solution unfolds dreadful consequences and dangers.
When attempting to work on the plots like time travel or alternate universes, there are always some complications attached to it; however, “No Way Home” mostly strides through that, covering the inconsistencies with enough humor and warmth.
The film also nimbly builds upon its forerunners, including more nurtured relationships between Parker, M.J (played by Zendaya) and his friend Ned (played Jacob Batalon) as their fears mature from a teenager to adults, an already hardened time only elevated more for Peter’s scrutiny levels that only British royals face.
Tom Holland has successfully connected himself with the role on an advanced level as well, and it was an astute move by Sony to negotiate the deal made in 2015 allowing Marvel’s Kevin Feige to mark his creativity on the franchise, that developed the character to the levels that certainly go beyond his connotation with the Avengers.
With the premiere of “No Way Home” knocking at the doors of theaters, the constant gossip about teasers and the particularly peculiar segment of the fan obsessed with digging them; will be settled soon enough, leaving the film’s aspects to be thoroughly examined.
However, what’s already evident is that “No Way Home” was contrived to be relished and appreciated. And in what has largely developed as a subtle wonder that will include howls and screams from approving audiences in theaters, where “Spider-Man” will likely be revealing its secrets first before moving on to unearth other surprises.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” debuts in the theaters of the USA on December 17, 2021.
