All you do to enter is be subscriber and let me know what your favorite Spider-Man movie
is after watching this one obviously careful for spoilers from the movie.
If you haven't seen it yet.
Because all the talk about pretty much everything that happens also slide into the more spoiler
he stuff later in the video will try to kinda ease into that, I will be doing post credit
scene videos a full breakdown and Easter eggs for the entire movie in the next couple of
days as well to.
But just like I said in my no spoiler review earlier this week.
This is legit the biggest movie of the year of any kind.
Just based on the scope of what they're trying to do with the story in the Spider-Man characters,
but there was so much hype so much anticipation going into this movie based on theories that
people had it delivered and then some completely exceeded all my expectations the marvel people
have been calling it Spider-Man endgame.
Just because it does for Spider-Man what avengers endgame did for the avengers is meant to be
like the biggest avengers movie you've ever seen.
But also give the characters a definitive ending to their current arcs in the MCU.
They do a good job of ending Spider-Man No Way Home bookending sort of this era of his
homecoming trilogy, but also giving you hints about what they're going to be doing with
the character next should Tom Holland want to come back in Missouri he said that yes
he does want to come back.
But the way they in the movie, you can tell they wanted to give an opportunity for Spider-Man
to have a very fresh start in the MCU with whatever they do with that next trilogy metaphorical
and literal fresh start.
Because the way they sort of wipe the slate clean with Doctor Strange her spell at the
end of the film.
There were so many jokes going into the movie about how tom Holland was going get pushed
of the background.
Like which cameo are you most looking forward to I'm most looking forward to Tom Holland's
Spider-Man getting a cameo in his own movie.
Despite the fact that they do go full spider verse.
Like legit live action Spider-Man into the spider verse the story is still squarely focused
on Tom Holland's Spider-Man, he is very much the main character, but at the same time.
The other really amazing thing is that it gives all the other characters.
Even the lesser side characters complete and satisfying arcs which is usually with the
main complaint is about movies that are this big any kind of comic book movie or big action
movie I've said it before, but I'll say it again after this movie Tom Holland will probably
be your new favorite live action Spider-Man older people who saw all the Spider-Man movies
in theaters, myself included, will always be nostalgic for Tobey Maguire in Andrew Garfield
Spider-Man movies in different ways.
Everybody has had their favorite Spider-Man the past 20 years.
But legit Tom Holland completely brings it in this movie he gave it all is the portrayal
of MCU Spider-Man that everyone had been asking for since they first announced him is the
new Spider-Man Captain America Civil War back in 2016.
Like oh this is what I've been waiting for from a Spider-Man movie in the MCU.
Even during the parts of the movie that didn't quite work as well.
He still shines through.
It just address those parts of the movie easily the second half of the film or so is legit perfect
Like were talking a perfect Spider-Man movie perfect marvel movie, everything you've always
wanted from a film like this the part of the movie that didn't work quite as well is real.
Like the early part before he goes to see Doctor Strange for the first time to perform
the spell all before the sinister six villains show up once they start showing up the movie
is mostly perfect no chefs kiss is really all the stuff with happy and aunt May's relationship
and then trying to get into college that slows the film down a bunch.
I kind of drags on things a little bit.
I understand why those things are in the movie like the college stuff needs to be there,
because it's supposed to be his main motivation for performing the spell in the first place
to help MJ and Ned get into MIT and all the happy and aunt May comedic relationship stuff
is there to explain why they go live with happy at his apartment after things get crazy
with the angry Mysterio stands and a set up the end of the movie with him and happy at
aunt May's grave to bookend things all that early stuff with happy feels a little out
of place in the college stuff just felt a little flimsy.
Like in order for the main twist of the movie.
This big multiverse spell to make sense.
Why he do something like this.
They kind of have to make Spider-Man go full monkey brain idiot Doctor Strange even yells
at him after things go crazy for being a total idiot like you didn't even bother to call
the admissions office to plead your case before asking me to brainwash the entire world.
So it truly is a local man's ruins everything for a bad reason kind of scenario.
Like J Jonah Jameson is not wrong Spider-Man is to blame for literally everything that
happens during the movie, but set for those few minor things pretty much everything else
about the movie was pitch perfect Benedict Cumberbatch was amazing is Doctor Strange.
No surprise there.
He's probably one of the best working actors in the world today and one of marvel's most
important characters know that iron man is in around know I've also said this before,
but Spider-Man I think technically is the most important marvel character going forward.
Just because of the way he sort of ties what came before the avengers infinity saga movies
was happening right now and what's gonna be happening in the future altogether as this
really relatable ground-level POV audience character.
But Doctor Strange I would argue is kind of like the replacement for Iron Man's are like
the de facto huge very powerful character that everybody goes to for help.
Now he wasn't nearly as big a part of the movie is.
I originally thought that he would be based on the way the trailers portray him.
He's really only around for a few key scenes, the beginning to set the whole multiverse
spider verse plot and then at the end of the movie to fix everything with another multiverse
spell they do use a few of his brief seems to also set up plot elements for doctor Strange
2 and I will do a separate post credit scene video for the doctor Strange 2 trailer.
It really does play like a trailer for the movie, so we'll see if they release that online
after next week.
I think eventually will post a slightly different version of it is to regular trailer.
Like they normally would, there a lot of background elements and hints that you get about future
Marvel phase 4 plot, but it's subtle enough that doesn't take you out of the current Spider-Man
sinister six story this play out on screen once all the sinister six characters make
it into the MCU and start bantering with each other in Spider-Man.
That's really when the movie gets going.
They pull this off so well that after this movie, you will be asking Marvel nonstop how
long before you do an avengers secret wars movie.
Like give me more of this.
But turned up to 11 all the villain performances were amazing.
They all get great arcs during the film, but Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin was very much
the main villain.
Even though you only really see five of them on screen together at any one time they are
going for a very sinister six kind of vibe Willem Dafoe said that his main condition
for coming back was that they would make him a huge part of the story and let him do most
of his own stunts.
Which they did.
You can tell he's great he totally understood the assignment he's every bit the Green Goblin
that you remember from the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movie a little bit more subtle.
I think, but his switch from Norman Osborne to the Goblin persona is still every bit as
great as it was during that first movie in the way that his Goblin plays off of Spider-Man
in the whole aunt May Uncle Ben twist.
Speaking of which they gave Marissa to amaze aunt May a huge upgrade.
Just in terms of the scope of what she's doing during the story.
They kind of turned her into an MCU version of Uncle Ben giving her a bunch of classic
uncle Ben story the iconic phrase with great power comes great responsibility.
They finally uttered that during a marvel movie, they been directly call that out later
in the movie like oh I know that phrase because my Uncle Ben said it that he died.
Just like there are few minor complaints about how stupid they have to make Spider-Man at
the beginning of the movie.
There are a couple problems that I have with aunt May's logic and forcing the sinister
six mental health issue changing them trying to fix them in the MCU won't change things
for those other universes as much as you think they would another be a ton of questions about
the whole logic of the way they change things at the end of the film like what does the
spell change exactly what is everybody remember about Spider-Man going for now.
Don't worry all address that during my full breakdown and Easter eggs video Alfred Molina
was great.
He gets a much fuller version of his arc that he did during Spider-Man 2.
Going from villain to hero again in a more complete way.
Even though I would still argue the Spider-Man two is one of the best comic book movies of all time
So wasn't like they need to fix his arc in Spider-Man 2.
If anybody had a character arc that needed fixing.
It was Jamie Fox's electro and they did that and then some.
It is to address that I did say this earlier but the movie isn't just a sequel to the tom
Holland MCU Spider-Man movies.
A lot of times it feels like a sequel to the other Sony Spider-Man movies, so tries to
pick up where the stories of the Sony Spider-Man characters left off and give them meaningful
happy endings.
I'd argue that the Sandman the lizard arcs in the movies are kind of truncated like I
like speedrun versions, but they were much smaller characters than the other villains.
They did have good moments but the focus is really on Green Goblin doctor octopus and
electro and there are lots of things from the old Spider-Man movies Tobey Maguire Spider-Man
Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies that people still like to make fun of and mean today.
They include a lot of that energy in the movie.
Like there a lot of things about those movies.
I just did not work and they call that out in a lot of jokes during the film just a slide
into Mego spoiler territory so I can talk about the real delights of the movie, so you
notice here we go.
Careful for mega spoilers all the Tobey Maguire in Andrew Garfield stuff was amazing everything
I hope that they would be and more.
They were way bigger part of the film than I ever expected way more scenes in it was
as if they had never left the just picked up right where they left off.
You will legit cry couple times when they're on screen altogether Michael teaching is music
during the film was amazing.
He did a great job of incorporating a lot of the themes from all the different Sony
Spider-Man movies in the tom Holland MCU Spider-Man movies some of the most cry were the moments
are when they sort of really mix all of the main theme songs from all three Spider-Man
when they're on screen together going full science pros and when they're teaming up at
the end of the film all the scenes of the three Spider-Man together.
Probably some of the best parts of the movie.
Like give me more of this all day every day.
Please don't be the last time that you try something like this long time Spider-Man fans
will probably enjoy these little jokes and references more than the younger brand-new fans
But every last bit of fan service was great in never felt to over the top or took me out
of the movie like Andrew Garfield Spider-Man and Tom Holland's Spider-Man being flabbergasted
by Tobey Maguire's organic web shooters in the Tobey Maguire sort of playing off them
like women are you trying to tease me know no we think that's cool we want to know how
you make that webbing does it only come out of your wrist is a come out of other places
Andrew Garfield Spider-Man referring to himself as the lame Spider-Man all the pep talks,
the Tobey Maguire gives to both of them is a lot of Spider-Man into the spider verse
energy with the midlife crisis Spider-Man helping out Miles Morales lot of pep talk
from the older Spider-Man they pay off a lot of Easter eggs and references to both of their
films in present day of like new spins on major twists and character moments from their
original movies in one of the best Tobey Maguire scenes in the movie is legit during the final
boss fight in the way he helps Tom Holland with Green Goblin.
It was all just shifts kiss perfect.
We all knew they were going to be in the movie.
The whole time.
But what I saw just completely exceeded my expectations on every level.
It just to address the end of the movie.
I thought that was a great way to end this homecoming trilogy arc and sort of wipe the
slate clean for all them so they can do a much more traditional type of Spider-Man solo
film in the future.
Like a Spider-Man who's not totally beholden to Iron Man or the Avengers always looking
to someone else for help just Spider-Man dealing with his own villains and problems inside
the MCU wall all the other avengers stuff is going on around him are they the ideas
that will see Spider-Man for it will be a much truer idea of a solo Spider-Man movie
with fewer big Avengers crossover's and then we'll see him crossover in a big Avengers 5
type of movie.
There were two post credit scenes.
Just to kind of grade them.
The mid credit scene is the venom scene.
It acts as sort of a continuation of the venom let there be carnage post credit scene and
help set up a future MCU Spider-Man symbiote saga.
It was exactly what it needed to be short and sweet answered a lot of questions about
how things are gonna work going forward the doctor Strange 2 post credit scene felt a
little weird in that it felt a little more like a trailer they just attached to the end
of the movie as opposed to just like a full complete seem like you normally expect from
a post credit scene after watching Spider-Man No Way Home a couple times now all say that
it is my favorite MCU Spider-Man movie and now it's tied for my favorite Spider-Man movie
overall with Spider-Man into the spider verse Tobey Maguire Spider-Man two is now a close 2nd
