Spider-Man: No Way Home (蜘蛛人:無家日) is an 2021 film. This movie stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon. The supporting cast include Benedict Cumberbatch, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe,Alfred Molina,Benedict Wong, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire. This movie is part of the MCU, but also brings back the Spider-men of yester-year and has a cameo from Venom. This is the third film of the MCU version of Spider-man.
At the end of last movie, Peter Parker is exposed as the friendly neighborhood Spider-man. Peter then becomes the most famous person in the world. Unable to live a normal life, but also broke, Peter tries to keep a low profile and get into his dream school, MIT. However, due to his notoriety, Peter is not admitted which also affects MJ and Ned. They do not get in either. In a act of desperation, Peter seeks out Dr. Strange to cast a spell for everyone to forget that he is Spider-man. As Strange is casting the spell, Peter starts to regret his request and ask for changes. This then causes Strange's spell to go haywire. Instead of people forgetting Peter, Strange's spell brings people that know that Peter Parker is Spider-man from other universes. The villains and Spider-men of the two previous series show up in this movie. How will the three Peter Pakers get everyone home?
As much as I wanted to avoid this movie, I decided to watch it in IMAX format. Glad I did, this is the best of the three Spider-man movies from Marvel. There was no need for character development and the story was an interesting one. I for one will be watching this again for sure. Not sure which platform will get this first since Sony does not have its own streaming service yet.
The movie did not have anything grand to do and the simplicity of it was what kept me at the edge of my reclined seat at AMC. I wanted to see what was next to solve this thing that was done due to insecurity and wanting a do-over. In a sense, Marvel was pulling a Superman spinning the world backwards for this movie. Making things go back to the way before. However, the consequences had to be felt still. I look forward the fourth installment now. And Dr. Strange taking on the multi-verse.
