Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)


Director: Jon Watts. Cast: Stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong, Marisa Tomei, J.K. Simmons. 148 min. Fantasy/Adventure.

  • Yes, it's another Marvel movie. But there's an element that makes this one Marvel movie extremely memorable, that cannot be spoken (or will otherwise spoil all the fun). We knew from the trailer villains from previous Spider-Man movies (Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Electro, Sandman, the Lizard ... some of whom had already died) will be present in this one, but there's one plot point that brings all Spider-Man movies from the past 20 years together. And this pivotal point is not a gimmick (the way they ruined our childhood with the last Star Wars movie): it makes sense in the story, is well-orchestrated and well-executed, and plays our nostalgia buttons in an expert fashion. All I can advise is: avoid any list of the film's cast prior to the watching it (other than mentioned above), and for all that matters, avoid looking at any scenes from the movie on the web. You can thank me later.
