Review
Hello, filmgoers. My blog has reached its 600th review!! Enjoy! SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is darker and hilarious, carries more emotional baggage than its predecessors, and has loads of fanservice to entertain the fans. It is an out-of-this-world experience with a plot concept similar to the idea used in the animated movie Into the Spider-Versewhich has that distinction. Though it's not the first Spider-Man film to tackle a thing about the multiverse, I love it when the film expands the scope of the franchise by showing that there are more than two worlds that have collided with the current cinematic universe of Spider-Man. Director Jon Watts had given us a film that not even the Russo brothers could outdo anything they've accomplished for the MCU.

I love the action sequences of the movie, which are incredible and noteworthy. I admire the chemistry between Tom Holland and Zendaya, which is fittingly romantic for both of them. It's nice to see some old faces in this movie; actors like Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx, Rhys Ifans and Thomas Haden Church return as Spider-Man's previous archfoes from the pre-MCU offerings. Even J.K. Simmons reprises his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the Sam Raimi trilogy after appearing in the mid-credits scene of Far from Home.

Audiences immediately clapped and cheered in excitement when Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield returned as both Raimi/Webb interpretations of Peter Parker, which they knew the whole time they set afoot on NO WAY HOME. I won't tell you how exactly they appear. It's a secret, and I'm not supposed to reveal it to any of you.

Out of all the live-action offerings, it is the best Spider-Man movie I've seen in cinemas. Though close to beating Into the Spider-Verse, it remains the franchise's second-best feature. Still, it surpasses the previous high expectations from Far from Home. I highly recommend it to those who previously experienced the character in the Raimi and Webb adaptations.

Star rating: (10/10) Best Movie Ever
