Spider-Man: No Way Home Is Overrated

The title "the best movie in phase 4" is the equivalent to a participation award. The rest sucked so badly they weren't given any.

The premise of Peter Parker almost ending the multiverse because he was bummed that he and his friend couldn’t get into MIT when he’s literally using Stark’s tech which is the best technology in said universe is absolutely mind boggling to me still to this day

humor isnt the problem, its not being serious in serious moments.

Didn't get accepted into his dream school so he almost destroyed the world. Reminds me of someone similar...

All the MCU Spider-Man movies are overrated

College Woman also shouldn't have had her mind changed by the bridge fight. The whole reason they denied Peter was due to the danger he presents by simply being in an area, and him being on that bridge caused massive property damage. Why would the college give the thumbs up for that after their point was directly proven irl??

"We'll have Tom, Andrew, and.. Spider-man." my favorite line ever spoken

I absolutely hate how Green Goblin smashed his mask with some bs reason, if they really wanted no mask they could’ve had it destroyed in a fight. I’m sad cause the look is so iconic. The lizard looks strange as well

I feel like Far From Home would be a better name for this film since The Characters are literally snatched from their Universes to a different one

I read the title and had to say thank you for saying this. I liked the movie, but once you're past the nostalgia bait it's not as good as people say it is.

It is the best of phase four... Whatever the compliment you can take from that.

The hypocrisy is immense in accepting Electro’s change. I find most of the criticism for TASM2 baffling, including Electro when it’s logical, simple and not comedic, which more than anything in NWH and the original Spidermen. There was a reason Electro looked like he did and there is no consistency or explanation in changing him.

I love Dafoe’s Goblin, but Disney didn’t understand it. Yes, he had a split personality in the first film, but they weren’t entirely removed from each other. Norman drove himself insane but he always had at least a hand in the Goblin’s atrocities. There was nothing the Goblin did that wasn’t wanted or needed by Norman. Disney made him to be entirely dissociative which doesn’t even make sense since he was supposedly plucked at the end of Spider-Man one when he was literally acting as both Norman and the Goblin to kill Peter. They make it out like his psyche completely snapped. Which could work, but it can’t be offscreen. If Willem Dafoe wasn’t in this film, the Goblin would be as forgettable as the rest.

This is exactly what I've been saying. I do want to add though that May's death was ruined by the fact that she encouraged Peter to bring the villains to the apartment. There's no lesson to learn here. Either it was an irresponsible move (it was), which means has no business talking about responsibility, or it was a responsible move (it wasn't), which means that responsibility leads to Peter losing his loved ones. Add to this the fact that this woman is perfectly fine with underage nephew fighting crime and you learn why in my rewrite I gave the line to Toby.

I feel so incredibly validated by your thoughts on the spell scene, whole movie could’ve been avoided if the smartest man in the room actually used his brain. But no

I throughly enjoyed this film while in the theater and everyone’s energy was buzzing. I cannot stress how hyped I was to see tobey on screen- my favorite Spider-Man, my childhood obsession. However, even while on the way home, I was questioning the many plot holes and loose ends. I slowly began to hate this movie, especially how they ruined Doc Oct’s character. Otto had overcome the chip in the end of his movie to save Peter Parker. He was already redeemed, Holland’s Spider-Man didn’t need to save him. Sandman got to keep his morality intact why couldn’t Doc? It was a great experience to see after not going see a movie opening weekend for two years. But the rewatchability just isn’t there. In fact, I would actively avoid seeing it again because I would just get upset with all the bullshit I missed the first time around. These characters had endings. Marvel dug them up to beat a dead horse for the nostalgia points and even I fed into that temporarily

The first Iron Man movie should have been the benchmark for all solo MCU movies and The Avengers should have been the one for team-up movies. I don't understand how they manage to screw up so many stuff they got right a decade earlier.

Issue with Nostalgia-Powered Movies is: if you never grew up with the originals, there's no Nostalgia to power the movie. If the Best Part about the Movie is Nostalgia, then it fails to capture to those who never experienced it

Surprised you didn't have more of an issue with May's death scene. I was furious because she gets to her feet and helps Peter up, which shouldn't be the case because she's injured and he's Spider-man. Then proceeds to bleed out to her death. Peter could have wrapped her up with webs and swung her to a hospital. He has used his webs in this way several times in the comics, including a case where he saved May this way. Then Peter sits there and cries. And it cuts to the next sequence. ... I was anticipating a moment of pure anger following May's death. This would give us a chance to see a darker, rage-fueled, gritty, Peter chase Goblin. Swinging through the city chasing Goblin's glider. Instead, we got this bullshit.

Literally the only noteworthy and/or good parts of this movie were the acting, Aunt May’s death scene, the conversations between Andrew, Tobey, and Tom, Andrew saving MJ, the fights between Tom and Green Goblin, and Tobey’s conversation with Doc Ock and all the character assassinations, horrible world building, and confusing plot holes pretty much destroy the immersion of the good stuff.
