The spider’s sense was right. We have a hit! – review of the movie “Spider-Man. No way home”

Parker is getting famous

The plot of the newest part of Spider-Man begins exactly at the end of the predecessor, Far From Home. After a dramatic fight with Mysterio on the streets of European cities, the victorious Spider returns to New York. Everything changes, however, when a video recorded by his opponent just before his death is released on the network. It not only shows our hero as a murderer and criminal, but also reveals his true identity. Now everyone knows Spider-Man is Peter Parker! What’s more, this secret comes from the mouth of a man who dies a moment after its disclosure. As might be expected, public opinion is divided: one camp supports Parker as a hero, the other craves his blood. The lives of Peter and his loved ones are turned upside down. The cup of bitterness is overflowing with the fact that neither they, nor his best friends enter selected universities. What is left for us? It just so happens that an outstanding magician lives nearby. Can magic make everyone forget about the Spider’s true identity? And is it really a good solution? Aren’t there villains in other dimensions looking to tear Peter Parker apart? You will find out the rest from the screen.

How many Spider-Man are there after all?

It can be said right away that Without the Road Home would not have been successful if it had not been for the previous Spider-Man movies. And no, I’m not talking about the two productions with Tom Holland in the lead role, but about the series with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. It is the villains, heroes and fictional references to those films that are the greatest strength of the latest screening. The idea of ​​combining these cycles, putting different incarnations of Spider-Man on your way is amazing. We’ve already seen him in the Spider-Man: Universe animation. Here, however, the concept takes on a completely new dimension. Viewers feel a great bond with the former incarnations of the Spider, for example Tobey Maguire is an inseparable part of my childhood. Tom Holland in the role of Parker has always been the correct Spider-Man in my opinion, but he did not match the character created in the Sam Raimi trilogy. Here, however, I can see my favorite Peter alongside the other two!

Fans can go crazy

For a long time, I did not believe that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire would appear in this film. I avoided all spoilers on the web like fire, and I considered the leaked photos of the actors together as Photoshop. Of course, there were guesses, but guided by the philosophy of avoiding disappointment, I pushed it out of my mind. So when actors suddenly appeared on the screen … first Alfred Molina (Doc Ock), then Willem Dafoe (Green Goblin), Andrew Garfield, and then Maguire himself. Well, I don’t remember jumping that high in a movie chair since… no, I’ve never been so excited in a movie theater! Even though I’m already twenty-three, watching No Way HomeI was almost like a preschooler. And I know every Spider-Man fan does exactly the same. The Internet has gone crazy, and Sony studio is already receiving petitions to shoot the sequels of not only the latest productions, but also the lost series with Garfield and Maguire!

Willem Dafoe steals the show

In the film, we can watch performances that deserve an Oscar. Each of the actors looks really good. Even the three main characters show a completely different side of Spider-Man. One is still young and carefree, the other is a dark man who is trying to overcome his demons. The third Spidey, in turn, is an adult, experienced superhero, who immediately plays the role of a mentor of the other two. However, all actors are quickly eclipsed by the main villain. There is no denying that the Green Goblin is stealing this show. Willem Dafoe is already 66 years old, and when signing the contract for this film he made a condition – all fight scenes are to be played by him, no doubles. The actor returns to the role of Norman Osborn from 2002, and then it was great! The terrifying facial expressions perfectly reflected the split personality and mental illness of the villain. Here, the Green Goblin returns, even more disturbing and angry. His face is no longer hidden by a mask, and the viewers are scared by the maddened, contorted face of Dafoe himself. The scene where Osborn is being mercilessly pounded in the face by Spider-Man and we still hear him laugh? I haven’t seen anything better for a long time.

Tobey mentored the Spider-Man

Are any Spider-Man better than the rest? First of all, each of them is completely different. The creators managed to capture this, for which additional points are deserved. I will never cease to adore Tobey Maguire in this role, even though he is a different hero than we remember. He lacks that charming staring, innocence and joy derived from swinging on cobwebs. He is now an adult man who has learned to reconcile his private life with the responsibilities of a superhero. As for the main character of the film played by Tom Holland, I finally started to like him. Before, I thought it was too childish version of Spider, in addition, it was powered only by gadgets from Tony Stark. In this movie, however, we can see that he is finally starting to grow up. He learned to live at a loss, he took his life into his own hands and even began to live and support himself. Work, study, rent – we probably know it from somewhere! In a way, Holland’s Parker comes to a point in life that we associate with Maguire’s version. He even creates his own outfit, devoid of modern gadgets, very similar to the comic book prototypes. Could it be a continuation? May!

You must see this!

I could talk about this film for a long time, write about individual scenes, analyze connections, guest appearances of other characters, and so on. However, I would like each of you to experience it the hard way. Spider-Man, No Way Home is not so much a screening as a pop culture event that must be experienced. I hope that the production will give food for thought for the creators and show what the viewers expect. Fandom has gone mad, Garfield is back in favor, Maguire has to deal with paparazzi again, and Dafoe has proven he deserves an Oscar.

For the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home, we invite you to the Cinema City cinemas!
