I love how that Tobey and Andrew weren’t just cameos, and were actually crucial to the plot, while being phenomenal supporting characters. The chemistry between Tom, Tobey and Andrew was just beautiful and done so well. Tobey and Andrew could have just done this movie for the paycheque, but they poured their heart and soul into their performance. Hopefully that Tom, Tobey and Andrew know that us fans are so appreciative of their performance. I will remember this movie for the rest of of my life, and I am certainly not alone in thinking that.
You know why Tobey and Andrew are such great supporting characters? They don't just support Tom because he's the main character on the poster, they support each other, even support the villains to some extent.
That moment with Tobey stopping Tom from killing the Goblin with the glider is incredible. You can see three movies of experience in the look Tobey gives to Tom. I also like how, in the other universes, Uncle Ben died because Peter was selfish, which makes them try to be better, but with Tom Holland, he loses Aunt May because he was selfless and yet he keeps going because it's the right thing to do. Very inspiring stuff.
I think that at this point that should be a staple of canon for Spider-Man: have Ben die because of Peter's selfishness, then have May die because his selfness. I think it is a genius idea that Spider-Man PS4 brought to the table and that I feel should stay, it makes the character go full circle from becoming an obnoxious self serving teen to the greatest hero New York has ever seen.
@@theankh2872 yeah I hope they add this to his background. Though technically the MCU, or MCM is confirmed to be another universe along 616 and 610. So technically it is canon.
I also loved that they didn't do that Sony bullshit of trying to say "With great power, comes great responsibility." in a different way and instead just straight up said it.
Andrew really stole the spotlight for me. Thats nothing against Tobey and hes always a personal fav of mine but you can tell Andrew went all in on his performance plus he now has a better script to work with.
What makes the ending of this movie so good is not just that we now have classic Peter Parker in his shitty apartment, struggling to pay rent, feeling lonely, making his own suit, etc. while being being a superhero, but that unlike other iterations of Spider-Man, THIS Peter wasn't just given a bad hand in life-he actively CHOSE it. For the good of the world, he CHOSE to give up his friends and mentors, CHOSE to give up Stark tech and money, CHOSE to give up his bright future. He sacrificed everything that made him the cool Iron Man Jr. and chose to be classic Spider-Man instead. That, to me, makes this the single most faithful depiction of the heart of Spider-Man we've ever gotten onscreen, even with all the crazy shit thrown in.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how incredible Willem Dafoe is as the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn? He was nothing short of amazing in this movie. Just phenomenal acting
Dude had me thinking i was watching a horror/thriller film when he turned into the goblin. And i agree with you 100% on the part about him being amazing! Lol.
I really felt for Andrew Garfield. When he says “I want to fight an alien. I’m so lame.” Then Tobey tells him he’s amazing, that made me smile. But when he catches MJ and he’s crying, that was beautiful. They didn’t have to do that, but I love them for giving him that moment.
I really hope all the positive feedback convinces Sony to cut a deal with Marvel to continue the Amazing Spiderman while we maybe take a hiatus from Tom's Spiderman.
Willem Dafoe killed it again. That fight in the apartment leading to May's death was so good. The way he just laughed as Peter was punching him and the brutality of the fight was fantastic.
@@jojo-he5gj exactly what I thought as I was watching. All I heard was “You have nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength” coming from Joker
When Defoe said “I’m somewhat of a scientist myself”, I was the only guy in the theater who laughed, and it made me feel like I was in a secret club lol
@@michaelbernard1041 because of the meme. And the throwback to the time he said it in the first movie, but mostly the meme lol. It was like nobody understood the reference to either instances
I never thought in many years we would get to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire again in a new Spider Man movie but here we are and I'm happy to see them getting a second chance especially for Andrew
We witnessed not only 3 generations of Spider-Men, but those 3 generations combining into one. We got to see Andrew Garfield crack Tobey Maguire’s back in Spider-Man costumes, canon in the mcu. Shits crazy lol
The Andrew Garfield redemption arc is so great to see. I’m glad that people are starting to realize that he was never the problem. He was a genuine Spider-Man fan and great actor who got fucked over by the studios. He absolutely deserves a second chance and I really want him to come back for more movies in his own universe.
@@alextran3147 So theory.... in the Morbius trailer they refer to both Venom and the "San Francisco" incident putting Morbius firmly in the Venomverse. Also in the trailer is a Spiderman poster with the word Murderer written on it. In the new Spiderman Garfield says he quit pulling his punches. Spiderman is known to have enough strength to toss a car easily. That kind of strength would kill a normal human if used on one. So the theory is that Garfield's Spiderman got to the point that he killed people when he stopped pulling his punches. The poster in the Morbius trailer is refering to the Garfield Spiderman. Therefore, the next Venom movie will costar Garfield as the Spiderman of that universe
Andrew saving MJ was one of the greatest cinema experiences I’ve ever had. The crowd went nuts! I also lost my mind when Tobey walked through a portal, and seeing the old villains - especially Green Goblin. This trilogy was like one big origin story for Tom Holland. A truly spectacular film. Wow.
Andrew Garfield being revealed was amazing. Tobey Maguire's reveal felt...emotional. He is Spider-Man to me. It's like seeing an old best friend that you haven't seen for years. And you remember why you were best friends in an instant.
They took the time to give each Spidey a big moment that was significant to their character. Andrew is saving MJ as some level of redemption for Gwen. Tobey stops Tom from killing the Goblin since he knows what it's like to kill someone with vengeance in your heart, and finally, Tom makes a massive sacrifice in having everyone who loves him forget about him to keep them safe. This was such a good movie.
And it was so cool how Tom’s walking away from talking to MJ mirrored Tobey walking away from MJ in the first movie at the end to spare her. Very clever parallel.
This movie is a good movie. The pretentious movie critics are so weird saying all superhero movies are for idiots. Sure, some are bad but this ? Nah. This isn't bad. It's not for idiots.
I love how everyone could tell that Andrew was the most passionate about returning, he didn’t know if he would play Spider-Man ever again, so he jumped back on the role in the best way possible, hopefully all this praise for him could lead to him being a supporting character in the Venom verse or even TASM 3 🔥
@Thomas Kwok i'd love to maybe see him hop over to the deadpool verse... not pulling punches anymore sounds like a character arc that would fit in really well there
Andrew got the worst deal when it came to his movies so his enthusiasm made perfect sense! I also liked how Toby was there but giving a matured version of the character. I've seen some say he was "phoning" it in and I disagree - it wouldn't have made much sense for Toby to come in with the same energy as Andrew. Toby is visually older, and I'm glad there was a scene that played that up. Both were great, and I'm glad to see Andrew getting to shine in a movie with a better team.
The fact that Tom Holland's Spiderman was dealing with being accused of murdering Mysterio made his desire to save the other villains in the movie feel more real. He was being branded a murderer when he was innocent, so he was extra motivated to prove to himself and others that he isn't a murderer. I think that was a brilliant, subtle way to set up the main conflict.
Also, Tobey stopping him from murdering was great. Tobey murdered Goblin once and years later he regrets it. He was looking for a cure for Goblin for years even though he was dead. He also murdered the guy who killed Uncle Ben and he expresses how much that didn't help him and how he regretted that as well. So when he stops Tom you can see he truly means it. He is showing Tom that there is a better way. Murdering the enemy is what you think is the simple way out. But little do you know that it's thing that keeps bringing you back in. Killing is something even real soldiers are haunted by. I think this movie teaches a great lesson on mercy even in the face of the most vicious person alive. You can kill them and try to move on but what does that do to someone years later? You think you've solved the problem but instead it's the act that is tearing you apart.
The fact that people are finally seeing how awesome Andrew is, and the fact that we’re even considering the possibility of TASM 3, or something like it, makes me so unbelievably happy.
As someone who didn't care much for Andrew's spiderman and even less so for his movies.. i love the idea of a 3rd. Just give my man a script that's as good as Tom or Tobey's and he'll be fine. That said... I really want to Tobey again lol.. he's the OG.. this multiverse stuff had to have an effect in their universe's so give me a movie with both to explore that!.
I also loved the part when Andrew's Spiderman was calling himself lame, basically poking fun of himself and in way communicating to the audience that he knows his films did not really live up to the success of Toby's Spiderman and also Tom's spiderman. But then Toby's OG Spiderman steps in and tells Andrew that: no, his Spiderman is AMAZING. Which I agree, Andrew was a very good Spiderman in many ways. Using the word AMAZING, is also very clever because Andrew's movies were called The Amazing Spiderman. Such a beautiful and wonderfully written moment.
Yeah I was wondering if everyone was going to get the amazing reference.. And you're right.. It was a subtle reference to his movies being the least successful but I thought he was great in this movie.. I'd watch more of his Spiderman if they give him him good material
If I am choosing between Garfield Spiderman movies and Holland Spiderman movies, I am choosing Garfield always. IMO Holland movies were mediocre to me.
@@kiba7396 Agree. Absolute shit plot. The thing is people do not care about that as long as there are cameos which makes this movie a huge nostalgia bait for the fans. Now, I am not against fan-service that Marvel provides throughout all of their movies, but they lack a good plot and good dialogue.
@@kiba7396 did we Watch the same movie? It was done so because of mysterio exposing his real identity as Peter parker, did you sleep and wake back up in the second act?💀 same with the other nigga that agrees with you lol.
The look on Garfield’s face when Tom said “She’s gone” just broke me. The moisture in his eyes… he fucking delivered. He really did show up for this and he (as an actor AND the character) deserved this little redemption - I’ve always enjoyed his portrayal, just in a different way.
Garfield has actually gone on record saying that he was afraid for Holland precisely because of what happened to him during his tenure as Spidey. So when he came on set you can tell it was because he knows, just like we do, that Tom Holland didn't get the short end of the stick and that Garfield was basically promised closure for his version of the character, which he got. As for Tobey's version... the 'It's complicated' bit about having a significant other really sticks to the idea that he's doing his damndest to balance out both Peter and Spidey.
@@SamaritanPrime I've recently watched Andrew's Spider-Man films for the first time & he's definitely now my fave. I don't know what I was expecting, with all the criticisms I've heard over the years. But I LOVED them! I just mentally extract the bits I don't like from the film, which still leaves me with a great portrayal by Andrew & the hottest Spider-Man/love interest chemistry on the big screen.🔥 He truly IS amazing!
I thought I was the only who thought that! My favorite line of the movie first time watching❗I laughed and smiled so big, like he already knew of course because he gets the least attention, but he was the man‼️ Unlike what Electro said, he's still the shit‼️
I love how the Spider men contrasted eachother: Tom Holland was the up and comer, Andrew was a more grizzled but still young spider man, and Toby has basically seen everything at this point.
Andrew being the Spidey who suffered and lost the most and became bitter was just... such a surprising turn. In such a good way too! It felt like a look at Tom's possible future, and then he got to redeem himself. It felt like all three of them as characters got something out of the whole universe crossover. Was super impressed with how they pulled this off, it shouldn't have worked.
I liked that each of them had something to add to the team, for example when Tom was the only one who has ever been in team, so he became leader of the trio.
They were all three various ages of Peter, with Tom being the youngest and Toby being the oldest and most experienced. Not a big age gap, but definitely enough that they each could bring something different to their role. The 'back fix' was also a fun nod to Toby being the older Peter.
100%, he was so good that I wanted more and more of him. He was on another level, and that MJ save was the most emotional I felt in that film. It made me realize that Tobey and Tom had (generally) decent movies, so their performances, while great, never needed to be exceptional, whereas Andrew (and Emma too) elevated TASM to a level it didn't deserve considering what they had to work with. I hope Andrew can look back with more fondness about his Spiderman journey now, I hope he got healed like all the others in the movie did!
He is by far the best actor out of the 3. Just watched it said the same thing to my friend. Even though Tom outdid himself, Andrew is just magnificent and show-stealing.
I’m surprised you didn’t highlight Dafoe’s performance during the hallway fight. It was so brutal and when he smiles as he’s getting punched I was genuinely terrified. Also, the power bomb through like six floors. Such a brutal fight.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was the fact that William Defoe can be more horrifying than any mask just by smiling !! I loved how no one was there “just for the check”, every actor put so much into the movie and it really paid off !👍
Willem Dafoe apparently rallied for the original part, so I’m not surprised he’d return again. He’s one of those perfect casting choices that’s hard to find.
the emotion on andrew's face when he saved mj is almost beyond description. it was almost like he finally got some forgiveness from the universe for losing gwen. just incredible.
i would have liked it more if holland tried the same webbing techique to catch MJ then that is when andrew swings in flings it away and catches her manually. Would have been a nice extra touch and also a learning moment for holland never to try that with anyone. Not to forget that they are more durable than normal people and that it can be easy to forget that. Not just saving someone but by avoiding another spiderman making the exact same whiplash mistake. But....we can't have everything so it was still a great moment to see regardless.
It seems people are NOW using the word "heartwarming" instead of "wholesome". Thank you. I was sick of that.....ugly word. I'm glad you sheep are trending a word that sounds less......feminine.
I love how Tobey prevented Tom Holland from killing Green Goblin with his glider. It really harkens back to how Tobey accidentally killed the Goblin with his glider in Spiderman 1 and how that messed his friendship with Harry up through the rest of the trilogy.
Not only that but goes back to like spideerman 3 and May talking about how Uncle Ben wouldn't want you to live with a second of revenge on your mind that it turns you into something you are not speech she gave.
I love how literally everyone loved Andrew Garfield. He was such a great spiderman. Hope they make TASM3. Garfield is due all the love and respect. With the minimum time he had on screen he delivered so much more. Everyone is talking about Garfield. Sign of a great actor
It was never Garfield that was the problem, it was Sony just doing terribly with the writing. Garfield was always great in the role, but it doesn't matter if the rest of the movie doesn't deliver.
@@bmagada Dude, they hired the guys who did the Transformer movies and Star Trek into Darkness. Those screenwriters are terrible and only have jobs because anyone is willing to watch popular properties even with mindless action.
Andrew Garfield has one face for every emotion, every scenario in every movie he ever did lol. Not just the Spiderman movies, but all movies. He is only cast because he is white and pretty.
Everyone gasped and screamed when Andrew took off his mask, but when Tobey came through, he received a standing ovation!!! This was a wonderful experience for me. I haven’t had one like this in a long time. This is why there is nothing like going to see a movie in a theater.
Seeing Tobey in this film was the same magnitude as seeing Christopher Reeves in Smallville... maybe better. Reeves' accident was so tragic, that seeing him in the chair afterwards was just not the same. Seeing Tobey come back, was almost literally like seeing him come back from the dead. And he was perfect. They didn't try to un-age him, and make it look like he'd been pulled from his universe as a 20y/o college student. He was older, wiser, slower (as Peter). It was maybe my favourite movie experience of all time. I think 'Into the Spider-verse' really showed Marvel/Sony what we wanted, and they absolutely delivered. I only wish MJ from Tobey's era had made it through as well.
This is the 1st comment so far that mentions into the spider verse and I'm surprised. That movie was so well done and really opened the door to this. I was really glad when Electro said he thought Peter was black because outside of being a joke it was a honorable nod to Miles Morales and particularly the Spider Verse film.
I think adding MJs would have been a little too much. Raimi's Spider-Man 3 added too many villains (No Way Home fixed that problem by adding more Spider-Men) and it dragged as a result. If a major character doesn't add content to the movie in addition to just presence, cut it.
For me the most emotional moment by far was Tom hugging Andrew and Tobey and thanking them. A passing of the torch scene for one, but also an appreciation that they both deserve for being spidermen and putting it all on these incredible roles. Still can't believe this movie is real, 20 years of history
Not a tasm fan actually hated tasm But when he saved mj and he felt like crying. One of the best scenes i liked about the movie. I just wished tobey had more conversations with the villains more since the 4 of them worked together as an actor way back and did enjoy. And had a pretty good cinematic story on their relationship. But all and all im just really mindblown that this movie had happened like im so glad i didnt die for 20 years. I never expected this to ever happen in life. Oh my god.
I really liked the "Spider-Sense" being shown while Doctor Strange separates Peter's soul from his body. That's the reason why he was able to move his arms... they dont say it, just show it.
@@aperson3723 In the comics, the spider sense doesn't just warn Peter of danger to him, but to others around him as well. If Strange got the box, all of the villains would be sent to their deaths, so it reacted as a danger to them
I love that this kind of ends the “who’s the better Spiderman” debate. They were all great, especially while working together. Tobey will always be my favorite Spiderman since those core films came out when I was a kid, but Andrew really brought a lot to the role. I’m not a huge fan of the Amazing Spiderman movies, but there’s no doubt Andrew rocked this movie. You felt the weight of that character and I’m so happy he got another shot at it.
I mean now that we have the context of an origin story I've always enjoyed the last two movies I thought they were great but I understand people's concerns with them. However this makes me enjoy all of them a lot more. I feel really bad for trashing Andrew Garfield movies. But I did understand it was Sony and now I understand it even better. They all got to do their thing.
This movie was the definitive proof I needed... Andrew Garfield is amazing and I want a soft reboot of TAS franchise. Good script, good direction, and a decent budget. Get to work Hollywood
@@synystervidz3451 I agree. I wouldn’t mind more Andrew/Spiderman films, but I imagine Disney won’t let that happen. They have a deal with Sony to let them use the character, and I’m not sure their deal would continue if Sony starts its own offshoot Spiderman films. But we’ll see 😊
I like the respect they gave to Toby..I got the feeling he was the alpha spidey, his ability to produce his own web and also his ability to quite easily stop Hollands spidey from killing the green goblin were kind of a "take a bow sir" moment!.
LOL Just no, You got the feeling of NOTHING with this "aLpHa SpiDeY" nonsense you're going on about. Stop being a fanboy with when you say nonsense like that. Obviously everyone loves Tobey's spiderman but saying this "take a bow " is just pure fanboy nonsense idealism, come on man, that's ridiculous thing to say entirely. And him being able to "produce his own web" is FAR from being an "aLphA sPiDey" lol imagine saying that with a straight face as that was just a creative decision that Sam Raimi came up with, FAR from being this "alpha" nonsensical notion. And it's insanely nonsensical how you take a powerful emotional moment like tobey stopping holland's spiderman from killing green goblin to think it's some kind of "HURR DURR LOOK HOW AMAZING HE IS AS ALPHA HURR DURR", no bro, you've COMPLETELY missed the point of that scene entirely. Stop, seriously just stop. This tobey fanboyism is getting out of hand when said like this.
One of the bests. But yeah. Don't remember when was his performance that was anything less than stellar. And not only Huge overblown performances. He can do subdued and subtle as well.
The fact that he went all out at age 66, wanting to do his own stunts, yet provided the most grounded and real fights in the MCU, just goes to show how great he is.
Everybody was great, but Andrew and Dafoe were the standouts to me. Dafoe was the best version of the Green Goblin to date. He was mean, vicious, and brutal; plus that apartment fight was one of the best scenes in the movie. As for Andrew, he brought his A game which shows that he still really cares about playing the role of Spider-Man. Also, the scene where he saves MJ and starts to tear up was the best redemption that his Spider-Man could have had. Overall, this movie was the best.
As for both Tobey and Andrew, I think they both deserve to be Spider-Man again in their own universes. Tobey should get one more film that can be a proper send off to the character like Logan was for Wolverine. As for Andrew, bring him back and put him in the same universe as Venom and Morbius.
@@jakemitchell1132 what would that film be because I feel like it would be weird to do a three because you can't do a after no way home movie because theres simply things that would be drastic changes. For example I'm pretty sure Gwen would be a live and that along is a giant deference. I guess you could say the endgame time travel rules applie and start from there but even then I don't think a post no way home movie would be good he had a great send off let's leave it at that
@@jakemitchell1132 What about Andrew being the Spider-Man that gets brought back somehow by Strange and joins the Avengers for a couple movies? And Tom can remain just in the stand-alone Spidey movies in Boston because that's where he chooses to be to be near MJ? Seeing Parker and Banner as the scientists helping the Avengers could be great. Just an idea...
I legit cried during that scene. I may not have seen Amazing Spider Man 2.. but I read about it and know about it and saw clips later... I had to basically cover my mouth because I was on the verge of losing it.
This movie is literally the endgame of all the Spider-Man movies for the past 20 years, it took all the good from each version of Spider-Man as well as fixed issues with them as well mainly Garfield definitely would say it’s up there with Spider-Man 2
@BlackholeTtson452 yes it's almost as good as spider man 2, but hard to compare because NWH is different because it's multiversal, the ending is very good!
@@George-um2vc The ending to NWH reminds me of the ending on Spider-Man 2 in a lot of ways! For example the part where Tobey tells MJ "you and I can never be". It makes sense in canon that the Peter's will have very similar events happen in their lives but in different ways. It's safe to say that Holland will get his own Venom. Garfield already has Tom Hardy's Venom they just need to meet.
I totally agree with you bud. The original Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire came out when in my last year of High School and I was so AMAZED by it. Like it really was made to be a comic style too, it was unrealistic in a lock of aspects but not in a way that took you out of the movie. Besides X-Men (that came out a year or two before), there were no good comic book movies back then...well there were hardly any in general. Like Punisher came out in 2003 I remember, and that I found entertaining if others didn't (much better than the sequel). I really did not mind the two Fantastic Four movies besides Jessica Alba's awful acting...don't get me wrong, she was and still is GORGEOUS. But ya she was an awful awful choice for Sue Storm. But then again her and anything negative in those 2 movies looks like gold compared to the one they tried rebooting. Do they ever make movies that get reshoots (and so obvious) that turns out well? lol.
@BlackholeTtson452 only time will tell. You have to wait for the hype to die down before really figuring out how you feel. That being said it was the best Spiderman movie ive seen since Spiderman 2. Idk if better is the right word since theyre both so good at different things
I’m so glad people finally got to see what I saw in Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. His movies weren’t the best but he was alway my favorite Spider-Man because of the passion and personality he had for the character I just wished people could see his true acting skills; Andrew is really incredible actor but now more people see that. Even though Tobey will always be the OG, Andrew really deserve the name “The Amazing Spider-Man”
SPOILER: The saddest part of this movie for me, was how Andrew Garfield said that after Gwen's death he stopped pulling his punches. It showed the darkness that can grow in one's heart, and the ending with Green Goblin and Tom Holland showed that too. It really struck me, showing a truly human side to a character that tries to be anything but human. To be a perfect machine and have all the answers. I also loved Andre Garfield as Spiderman so, I'm probably biased
It was the deepest most character driven spider man since spider man 2. And it was Garfield’s failures and redemption that helped to shape it, and it was given the proper final touch with the older Tobey Maguire stepping in to stop Tom from making the mistake of killing Norman Osborn. It was absolutely brilliant. Hollywood movies are rarely this great, let alone an MCU film
Nah man, you are right; we all felt that. I loved that scene and I appreciated how they expanded on what happened to him after TASM2. This movie gave him some much needed closure
Still can’t decide whether the best thing about this movie is Willem Defoe or Andrew Garfield. Everyone already knows how great WD is, but I’m so glad AG had his chance to shine - it goes beyond Spiderman; it’s phenomenal acting.
Willem Dafoe for sure. Loved Andrew, but Dafoe is a phenomenal actor and arguably one of the best ever. There can be more Spiderman actors, but there will NEVER be another Green Goblin in my book.
I just realized that the title of this movie, "No Way Home", actually means a lot for Tom's Peter Parker: He lost Aunt May and he got erased out of the memory of his loved ones. His idea of "home" was completely gone. I also loved how much Andrew was pouring into the movie. I hope that if Sony does Sinister Six, Andrew will be our Spidey.
Right! I love it. Homecoming and Far From Home both worked well in terms of their respective themes and overall plots, but No Way Home actually made me think, "Oh... the title is low-key a spoiler," after watching the movie.
It also has meaning for the other characters, too, particularly some of the villains. Since some of them originally died in their universes, if they get sent back via the spell getting reversed, they die, so they really have no way home.
For me, I think alot of people will go back and watch Andrew Garfield in his previous Spiderman movies and love it even more because he truly shined in this film giving his best in performance. Tobey Maguire made me cry just seeing him in this particular universe crossover. It was the Best MARVEL film yet to date.
This movie makes me wish that Spider-Man (2002) had more scenes where the Green Goblin had his mask off. Imagine the crazy facial expressions Dafoe was making that we never got to see? His acting in this movie was phenomenal!
First thing they do is to symbolically destroy the mask. It was always a bad design for an otherwise great green goblin. Having Dafoe just wear the hood fit the character so much better.
@@Danishdrums nah I honestly liked the green mask a lot wayy better than the comic version, the hood was good but I simply liked the green mast with yellow eyes better
Hearing Chris talk highly of Andrew brings a smile to my face. For me, he was the best Spider-Man, but had a shit script. His performance in No way home was amazing to say the least. He seemed happy, enthusiastic on screen. It was amazing to see him and Tobey again
He’s a great actor and I thought he was a good Spider-Man but a terrible Peter Parker. But I feel he was a terrible Peter Parker because of the writing and director. They didn’t understand Peter Parker
@@dimitrythomas4158 now you pointed this out made me realized that Andrew's introduction was as spiderman while Tobey's introduction as just peter parker... lol is this intentional ?
The final hour had so many powerful moments. Aunt May’s death & Tom’s fantastic acting Andrew & Tobey returning Andrew saving MJ Tobey convincing Tom, even with all his rage, not to get revenge on the Goblin Tobey & Doc Ock Peter saying goodbye to MJ & Ned The perfect ending that really made me feel like they finally got MCU Spider-Man right
When I saw he had sewn the classic spiderman suit and chose to make sacrifices while living in a dingy apartment, I knew he'd truly learned from his forebears. This movie feels like a fever dream my brain dreamed up and wanted but it's actually real and really good.
@@rksilver11 Omfg same he’s gonna leave them to live their normal lives it made me so emotional… I can’t get ovrt the fact we might never see mj or ned ever again. Or atleast not as the same as we remember them. Peter lost everything, but also gained infinite wisdom. And I am looking forward what he’ll have to offer in the future of the mcu
We really are living in the best timeline. Andrew Garfields redemption in this movie was something i didn't think I need, but when it happened, boy did I need it.
Once Andrew and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man appeared through the portals like legit it was just HEAVEN ON EARTH , my theater flat out ERUPTED and just wow, this was definitely justice for Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man , and man it was so so amazing and glad to see him back once again as Spider-Man , just redemption for him and we all know that Spider-Man meant so much to Garfield
@Russell HunterHe got everything he needed from this movie. They completed his character arc and Sony messed up his universe too much to make any decent movie out of it
I've never cried as many times in a Marvel movie as I did with this one! So good!!! I hope they bring Garfield back. I liked his movies though and I'm so glad that everyone else is finally recognizing how great he was! In my opinion, this is easily the best Marvel movie. Loved it!!!
One of the funniest Willem moments for me was when Peter and Aunt May were talking in feast, and in the background Norman is just stealing baked goods and putting them in his coat pockets Edit: Remember in the first movie (raimi 2000's)when they were having thanksgiving Norman(Goblin) coulnd't wait to get his hands on Aunt may's cooking. Dude was practically licking his fingers
I didn't liked it at first. I thought it was super out of character but upon further thinking about it makes sense. He previously says he's homeless and Oscorp doesn't exist in this universe. He doesn't want to be the Goblin at this point so he probably hasn't eaten anything since he doesn't have any money. Not going to lie at some point I was hating this movie so much, felt like they were making beloved characters a joke, but they really fixed everything beautifully at the end. Such a roller coaster of a movie. My favorite from the home trilogy for sure.
@@uninspiredradio7326 i feel like it made people put their guard down about the goblin suspicion. it also made him seem more innocent as well. But yeah I thought it was a silly add in.
My favorite scene might sound a little weird, but it’s the scene where Tobey talks to Doc Ock after Ock removes Electro’s arc reactor. They just sound so happy to see each other, and as allies this time, it was just super heartwarming.
The only complaint I have there is that Peter couldn't possibly have heard what Ock said to complete his sentence. It's something a lot of script writers do to make a scene sound cooler but if you check it again, Peter arrives a little after Ock says "The power of the sun" and also says it very quiet in a scenery that up to that point has been very noisy. Him completing the sentence makes no sense since he wasn't close enough to hear what Ock said.
Aunt May's death legitimately shocked me. I never thought Marvel would actually go that far and I was even in denial for a bit after it happened. I know Endgame had its fair share of real deaths too, but it was always something that you sort of expected was going to happen because of the high stakes and the contracts ending.
It was very sad but was very necessary. As entertaining as they were, the previous mcu Spider-Man movies lacked grit and balls. No way home was fun and entertaining, and like the tobey movies, it wasn’t afraid to get super violent at times.
This scene was totally raw. The like weird denial that the characters had that May was fatally injured and May acting all confused really made me feel like I was watching an actual death scene and how people would genuinely react.
I loved the end scene when Dr Strange says to Peter: "You have to understand, that everyone who knows and loves you, we... We'd have no memory of you." The 'we' is so poignant in this line, because Dr. Strange practically says to Peter that he loves him. Probably thinking back to the moment with Iron Man in End Game, realising that he would now lose another friend.
@@lonewolf604 no shit it prolly inspired him. He has never seen that big of a sacrifice, especially now it's coming from a kid that didn't know that he could ask MIT to reconsider his and his friends acceptance (btw this is one of my favorite and IMO realistic features of a kid)
I think a big reason why something like "I'm something of a scientist myself" works is because every other thing in the film isn't cheap. The villains have meaningful arcs in the film and aren't just quick callbacks to the previous films, and Tobey and Andrew both serve a meaningful purpose as supporting roles to Tom's Spider-Man. That allows the film to make those little jokes and not have them bring the movie down at all, because nothing else in the film is played cheaply for nostalgia.
@@miliyn17 Which goes against op's comment. Those 2 were in for cheap nostalgia and they even reused footage. Tons of cringe jokes that overstayed their welcome, several of which caused the movie to drag in several places. Punches were pulled in several spots like where aunt may should've been impaled by the glider, etc. Jonah Jameson was also pointless and a cheap version of his former self. The movie was good, but not as great as everyone is claiming.
@@miliyn17 I mean Sandman and Lizard didn't want to change, they where happy as they are. Electro just wanted to feel powerful and that he is something greater than how others treated him, which is why he was able to have a heart to heart with Amazing Spider-Man.
Matt Murdock was so impactful with the 30 seconds he got, he literally made all of Peters legal troubles go away. Peter was a person of interest in a mass murder plot with video evidence against him, and Matt just said ''not anymore!''
When Tom hugs and thanks Toby and Andrew in the end, it really felt like he was thanking them for passing the spidey torch to him, Tom was thanking them as spidey but also as a kid who has enjoyed them from the audience... in that way it felt like a hug from the audiences as well..
I’m so glad people are starting to appreciate Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. He’s so good in that role and he got shafted with there not being at 3rd movie
I agree that his performance aged very well. But his movies franchise wasn’t the best. Superhero films at that time just didn’t know how to handle ensemble casts of multiple storylines (X-men 3, Spider-Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Batman and Robin)
I haven’t felt this way about a movie since the first avengers. Seeing all my hero’s collide and work together , and now seeing all of our spider man childhood corner stones help Tom flourish. It’s freakin insane.
🤣🤣 it was an iconic and amazing movie full of iconic and amazing moments that were iconically amazing 😆. My 18 year old self loved the first Tobey movie. So awesome to see the 50 year old alcoholic actor come back and make me so happy inside 😆😆👏👏🤘🤘🤘
The fighting sequences with Green Goblin were top-notch. Before watching the movie, I thought that I'd see a lot of CGI or stunt double fights, especially when the actors for the villains are kinda old(er) now. But Wilhem Dafoe was able to pack a punch just like the first Spider-Man movie. Also, seeing more of his face with his Goblin voice and expressions was so thrilling.
Dafoe said it was his condition to accept the role. He didn't want to be a meaningless cameo and he insisted to do his own stunts and fight scenes. Because according to him, those are the most fun and help him connect with the character.
That scene where Peter kept punching goblin's face and he just kept on smiling was legitimately terrifying. Dafoe somehow managed to make this goblin performance even better than his original performance, he absolutely killed it
My only minor complaint was regarding the score. I did like how they occasionally used elements of the Danny Elfman, James Horner and Hans Zimmer soundtracks, but it would have been nice if these were used in a more prominent way. For example, the final battle could have weaved between the different Spider-Man themes depending on what Peter was on screen. Instead, they just used the new Spider-Man theme, with far more conservative use of the older scores. This isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. It just feels like a missed opportunity as this is likely a one time thing.
i totally get where you're coming from but honestly michael giacchino knocked it out of the park with the score for this movie - im not remotely exaggerating when i say exit through the lobby and forget me knots are my two favorite scores of all time.
I had a feeling that the movie might end up disappointing me, given the monumental expectations everyone had with it. But, man, it surpassed it and then some! I loved every minute of it and am literally dying to watch it again. Seeing the three Spidermen together was an experience I will never forget. I and my friend kept saying "I still can't believe we are actually seeing this" throughout the last part of the film. It was just insane. This is what a cinema experience is all about. You can have all the OTTs in the world, but nothing beats enjoying a film like No Way Home with a packed crowd, screaming and crying in joy. This was the best moment of the year for me.
@@ian12346 Haha. Yeah, I got carried away and exaggerated. But I am pretty excited to see it again. I hope I won't need an ambulance to visit the theater though.
I still can't believe they managed to live up to the potential this idea had. It could have been *so* easy to screw up - Chris mentions that they could have just had Tobey and Andrew show up and say one liners, but they and the villains ended up actually being fleshed out characters that continued from their individual stories. That was *exactly* what this movie needed.
@@illustriousrocket4476 Not only did their characters continue from their individual stories, the movie also gave their individual arcs some closure. At least in Andrew's case. I can't believe how beautifully they did it. We all felt that they might appear just during the final battle. But, boy, were we wrong. And happily so! The interactions between the three Spideys will remain in my memory for a long time. I want to savor that again on the big screen.
As a friend of mine pointed out as well: they needed Doc Oc to contain Electro, since his tentacles were literally designed to contain energy. So good arrival while Electro was running amok was super timely.
Watching this movie felt like a fever dream. Growing up and going to see the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man films in theaters always made a huge impression on my life. No Way Home is no means a perfect film but man am I super grateful to have witnessed that experience.
Andrew , Willem and Tom gave three incredible performances in this movie . Willem Dafoe 's Goblin for me was even more evil this time around than he was in the 1st Raimi film Tobey also did a really solid job especially considering he had not a had film credit for 4 years before this. This is also the first film for me where Tom Holland's Spidey truly felt like Spider-Man.
@@mikeparez He was never Iron Boy Jr. He was struggling with his identity among a world of superheroes. He turned down Tony in Homecoming, became an Avenger for a very short period of time, then went back to being Spider-Man, but felt like he had to fill in the shoes of Stark. This was him finally learning to let go and grow up.
I love that this movie paid respect to every Spiderman movie. Not only that, but it paid respect to us fans listening to what we wanted (the cameos, bringing back daredevil, staying true to the Spiderman characters, actually giving these guest characters a real role, etc. etc. etc.)
I love how this film serves as something of a sequel for ALL the Spider-Man films. It doesn’t just give Tom Holland a well rounded trilogy but it gives an excellent retrospective to the events of Andrew and Tobey’s films. Tobey getting to save Norman and Andrew getting to save Max was so satisfying because that’s where they “failed” in their original movies. Plus that scene with Tobey and Dock Ock was emotionally touching. My childhood has officially come full circle with this and I absolutely love it.
This was a satisfying closure to the last 2 spidermen saga, it even did justice to sandman, electro and lizard seeing how they all got to go back being subtle of their dispositions and not vile towards the end. Same thing could be said about Norman Osborn, he got a hold of his goblin nanites and was cognizant of the farfetched situation he put everyone in. Really wish we get to see more of him in spiderverse or in any of the future multiverse movies.
It also ingeniously served to make the ENTIRE Homecoming Trilogy as the Spider-Man origin story, except the narrative role of Uncle Ben has been divided among Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, the other Spider-Men, and Aunt May over the course of 6 films. The Spider-Man at the end of No Way Home is the true beginning of MCU Spider-Man's journey as a true thematic Spider-Man, the one that truly understands the idea that "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility."
@@i_Made_That They will be adapting Kraven's last hunt for college trilogy. I mean, they have casted taylor johnson as kraven and a little bit of symbiote was left behind. They are doing the alien symbiote and kraven's last hunt for the college trilogy. It might be really great. Just think of it.
I couldn't agree more about Andrew! If his movies had half the writing/acting/directing as Tobey and Toms' I think he would be considered the best Spider-man by a landslide.
Uh.. They were.. Marc Webb really tried to bring his own style into the films & Andrew, Emma Stone and a few other actors in the TASM movies were excellent. It's only that Sony f*cked w/ the writing. Also if you didn't know a lot of ppl DO consider him the best S-M for them.
@@Comicbroe405 You're not wrong, the acting and directing was not "bad" by any means, but it wasn't great. Other than a few moments with Andrew and Emma, no other performances stood out at all which is why i believe the movies didn't do as well. Willem Dafoe, Molina, RDJ, Gyllenhual, ect. brought so much to their respected franchise that no characters in TASM really could. (Again probably because of Sony and the writing)
Andrew’s spidey has always been a soft spot in my heart. The scene where he desperately fought harry to save Gwen only to fail broke me in the theatre. It has to be one of the saddest and greatest moment in spidey film for me.
Outside of all the phenomenal returning actors, I just want to say how crazy it has been to see Tom’s Spider-Man mature from Civil War all the way to No Way Home. It feels like the pinnacle of what the MCU, despite all of it’s flaws, is great at. Seeing Peter take his coffee and leave was such a perfect moment, and only makes me more excited to see what’s next.
Andrew was awesome, the way he didn't have to say a word when he caught MJ hes face said it all, he'd redeemed himself and found peace in that and to be able to say it all through hes facial emotions is unreal he knew and we knew no more was needed. Unreal
When Andrew asked MJ if she was ok and she looked at him and asked him whether he is, a random girl in the audience laughed really loud as in "of course he is okay, he's got superpowers bitch!" The way she didn't get the scene at all annoyed me so much as those people will then go and tell everyone how stupid these movies are.
Andrew Garfield was the best of the three in this movie and reminded me how great of an actor he truly is. Its a shame that his great acting was undercast by the poor plot and structure of his own movies, because I truly think if given the right tools he could have a really good spider man run.
I will petition for TASM 3 Andrew shows how f*cking good he is with the right writers. And I thought he was already fantastic in his own films despite their many, many flaws (mostly thanks to studio).
I know the fact that this man dropped out of high school, had to lose his closet friends, and is completely alone was hard to watch, curious how Peter will be when we see him next
A GED is basically an unofficial diploma for those who couldn't finish high school. It can still be used to get into post-secondary education. So, there's still hope for Peter in the long run.
@@aaronmiller6200 oh definitely there’s still hope! It’s just like my guy was at this renown stem high school and was on track to mit then got mega doxxed by mysterio 😭
8:00 "I want to go back to Andrew's universe" Totally agree, I hope they bring back Andrew as Sony's "Venom-verse" Spiderman, since now we have a separate Symbiote in Avengers-verse. Also, it really felt like every scene with the three Peters just hanging out and talking, was genuine. Like it really felt like Tom, Tobey, and Andrew talking to eachother. Normally I'd hate that it felt so meta, but for whatever reason it totally worked in this movie.
i always believed that this movie was a redemption arc after the failure of Spider man 3 and TAS2. Both ended not the best but seeing this really resonated that this movie meant for Tobey and Andrew as well, not just Tom. We all feel relieved now after 20 years
This was the most Spider-Man thing I've ever seen. It was pure, unfiltered, distilled Spider-Man. It was a love letter to the comics and movies and at the same time built on all three Spider-Men. It wasn't just looking back and going 'remember this?' it actually developed all three of them. They made Green Goblin the arch nemesis. I was so surprised how he wasn't just a token character, he was the main villain. They had a reason for the other Spider-Men too, in that they acted like elder brothers to Tom. It had jokes, it had drama, it had great fights. Green Goblin and Spider-Man having a superpowered wrestling match? Holy shit that was good. It was a joy. A complete joy.
Right? I was scared that Doc Oc was just gonna show up, be detained, and that'd be it. Heck, when he was "defeated" so early on in the movie, it made me nervous, but seeing him reformed and *human* again, fighting for the good guys? That was even better. Doc Oc was always my favorite person behind all the villains we've had.
@@Cometstarlight I could talk all day about how well they treated Doc Ock. It was perfect. It FELT like the exact same character, and the pay off of finally seeing him redeemed, was super emotional and earned. Seeing him finally reunite with Peter after all these years, and both of them being so happy to see each other, there was a heavy mix of elation and heartbreaking tragedy. Those two should have been lifelong friends forever had it not been for the accident, and once again it was a joy to revisit one of the greatest comic book movies ever made.
I cant thank Kevin enough for bringing back Andrew Garfield - what he brings to the table as Spider-man is just amazing and he is easily my favorite of them three and I hope they get to make a 3rd film with him
Tobey coming back was all I ever wanted. Andrew honestly made me change the way I thought of his as spiderman. And Tom actually felt like Spiderman in this movie 🤘
I just realized something no one is talking about. Just like Andrew Garfield got to redeem himself from letting Gwen die by saving MJ, Toby got to redeem himself by saving green goblin from being killed with the same weapon that he died with in their universe.
they missed a huge opportunity to bring in Miles Morales, even just a cameo wave or something when good old Ned is opening the portals, that would have been ultimate. They all came to play I loved seeing all three interact with each other and bonding
Knowing what he went through when TASM was cancelled, I sort'a understood where his performance in No Way Home is coming from. You can really feel the pain he projects and that it's coming from a real place which translated very well in what his character went through in TASM. He also brought back the little things he brings to Peter Parker's character that made it his own version that nobody can replicate. Not sure how accurate that portrayal is with the comics version, but I felt that he really put in the work to make that unique version that you can easily recognize when he's playing the character. To me, he's the best friendly neighborhood spidey amongst the three, and his Peter Parker will always be remarkable to me so I really hope we get another TASM movie.
You just don't know how much that meant to me, to see him back. I felt bad for him because he was really amazing. I prayed for the day he would return and when I saw him take his mask off for the first time. I didn't scream, cheer, or clap. I was literally petrified and my heart sank and my body got hot and I was panting. I couldn't believe it was real!
@@AnalogFoundry I wasn't affected by May's death as much. I was mainly annoyed at Peter for trying to cure cold-blooded killers when a literal sorcerer was telling him it was a terrible idea.
finally watched it. managed to miss all spoilers this entire time. absolutely amazing film. definitely up there with top marvel movies. andrew garfield was incredible
The best part/scene in the whole movie (In my opinion) is the apartment scene. Starting from when Otto says to Green Goblin “How does it feel Norman, you’re about to become whole again.” And than the chilling eerie music that starts playing when Electro and Sandman are talking. The spider sense scene and Green goblins speech and their fight through the apartment.
My moment of “what am I seeing right now” was when Andrew helped Tobey with his back. It was so, so surreal and beautiful. It was wonderful. Absolutely magical cinema. Cannot wait to watch this again a million times. All the films are canon now. All of them. Time to adjust the Marvel Blu Ray shelf.
I get what you mean. When Toby said “nothing.. my baack” I just started laughing because it brought me back to his scene in spider man 2 ofc when he fell off the building trying to become spider man again 😂 it was surreal for sure..
This movie was basically a tidal wave of both feels and nostalgia for me, and is overall an *amazing* time. The only missed opportunity I felt it had was not having a certain someone address J. Jonah Jameson or not even having them interact at all, but it’s basically the nittiest of nitpicks.
I honestly think Andrew Garfield turned in an amazing performance here. One of my favorite things from him is how he would subtly show elements of his Peter Parker in the background. E.g. having a discussed face when talking about Tobie's webs, or when he's dashing around the lab he would almost run into people/things in his aloofness.
That heartfelt exchange between Doc Oc and Tobeys Spiderman was a low key favorite moment of mine. Two friends out of time with nothing but respect for each other. Unpopular opinion but I feel Doc Oc is like a father figure to Tobeys Spiderman 💁♂️
Alfred Molina was my favorite thing about the movie. His Otto is such a good, kindhearted man who we got to see in those early scenes in Spider-Man 2. It was awesome getting to see him become that man again, and show is respect for his version Parker. Spider-Man 2 is still my favorite Spidey movie, and No Way Home got to tie things up in a great way.
One thing I really loved was that Tobey and Andrew felt like Tom's older brothers, and I think that was intentional. The dynamic between the three had a real family feel to it, and that was wonderful to see. Dafoe as Green Goblin was an incredible performance, and I'm actually sad he was zapped back into his own Universe.
Im 36 years old and seeing Tobey showing up in this movie gave me goosebumps and brought me back to my teen days and felt young again!! Thank you MCU for getting my inner youth out! My wife laughed at me at the movies because I acted like a child on the Tobey scene lol
“You’re all grown up. How are you?”
“Trying to do better.”
Those lines made me tear up in theaters
Seeing Peter and Otto speaking as friends instead of enemies was so heartwarming.
Basically talking to the trilogy fans, we are all grown up and old, but this film made us feel like kids again.
I felt that
@@OrangeHand right! And the fact that the lines make it seem like years have passed which is true
When the elfman score kicked in I teared up
I love how that Tobey and Andrew weren’t just cameos, and were actually crucial to the plot, while being phenomenal supporting characters. The chemistry between Tom, Tobey and Andrew was just beautiful and done so well.
Tobey and Andrew could have just done this movie for the paycheque, but they poured their heart and soul into their performance. Hopefully that Tom, Tobey and Andrew know that us fans are so appreciative of their performance. I will remember this movie for the rest of of my life, and I am certainly not alone in thinking that.
Don't care isn't cinema
@@atulyabharadwaj2279 Damn aight man, keep on doing whatever you're doing. We'll just be over here being hyped over this film.
@@anony_mous8681 Exactly, you stay there and love the supes. We’ll go watch The Northman. 🤙🤙
@@anony_mous8681 you are the best. I was very relieved Toby and Andrew were legitimately part of this movie. I totally love this film!
You know why Tobey and Andrew are such great supporting characters? They don't just support Tom because he's the main character on the poster, they support each other, even support the villains to some extent.
I love how Doc Ock was able to get his hand on an arc reactor and say, "Power of the sun in the palm of my hands."
It's all he ever wanted, and yet it feels so insignificant
member?
It felt almost like a parody to me at that moment..
Just like when Willem said 'u know I'm someting of a scientist myself'
Arc Reactor is probably not possible in his universe. He was probably on the way to inventing his own though.
His invention was ready to power the earth if contained succesfully but he'd have to make a big enough arc reactor to do something like that.
The three Spider-Man having a conversation felt like a therapy for me. I could listen to them just talk for hours about their experiences.
Me too, that was one of my favorite parts. If there was a spidermen podcast, I'd listen for hours
@@gaminikokawalage7124 yeah, it would be pretty awesome every one of them explaining their own universe and just vibing...
@@suparibhau yup. They better make more movies with Tobey and Andrew
It was cringe
@@kalencwil3924 you're cringe
That moment with Tobey stopping Tom from killing the Goblin with the glider is incredible. You can see three movies of experience in the look Tobey gives to Tom.
I also like how, in the other universes, Uncle Ben died because Peter was selfish, which makes them try to be better, but with Tom Holland, he loses Aunt May because he was selfless and yet he keeps going because it's the right thing to do. Very inspiring stuff.
I think that at this point that should be a staple of canon for Spider-Man: have Ben die because of Peter's selfishness, then have May die because his selfness. I think it is a genius idea that Spider-Man PS4 brought to the table and that I feel should stay, it makes the character go full circle from becoming an obnoxious self serving teen to the greatest hero New York has ever seen.
@@theankh2872 yeah I hope they add this to his background. Though technically the MCU, or MCM is confirmed to be another universe along 616 and 610. So technically it is canon.
It felt like it was acknowledging SM3 as well
I also loved that they didn't do that Sony bullshit of trying to say "With great power, comes great responsibility." in a different way and instead just straight up said it.
@@jckcc in a way that’s also word for word from one of the comics too.
Andrew really stole the spotlight for me. Thats nothing against Tobey and hes always a personal fav of mine but you can tell Andrew went all in on his performance plus he now has a better script to work with.
Are we sure we're watching the same movie? cuz I'm sure that the movie was entirely photoshop, atleast according to Andrew Garfield 😂😂
@@Erasureeraser 🤣🤣 wut?
@@fordsmolko872 he’s trolling
@@fordsmolko872 what's the Andrew's interview on Fallon when Fallon ask him about his contribution to the movie 😂😂
The way he hold MJ after he catches her is 👨🍳💋
What makes the ending of this movie so good is not just that we now have classic Peter Parker in his shitty apartment, struggling to pay rent, feeling lonely, making his own suit, etc. while being being a superhero, but that unlike other iterations of Spider-Man, THIS Peter wasn't just given a bad hand in life-he actively CHOSE it. For the good of the world, he CHOSE to give up his friends and mentors, CHOSE to give up Stark tech and money, CHOSE to give up his bright future. He sacrificed everything that made him the cool Iron Man Jr. and chose to be classic Spider-Man instead. That, to me, makes this the single most faithful depiction of the heart of Spider-Man we've ever gotten onscreen, even with all the crazy shit thrown in.
Couldn't have said it better 👏🏻
Exactly.
yes! it's a brilliant ending and incredibly true to the character, can't wait for what's next
Completely disagree.
I mean, he really didn't have much of a choice really, it was either that or fuck the entire multiverse which isn't great
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how incredible Willem Dafoe is as the Green Goblin/Norman Osborn? He was nothing short of amazing in this movie. Just phenomenal acting
Absolutely!!! 😍😍
Dude had me thinking i was watching a horror/thriller film when he turned into the goblin. And i agree with you 100% on the part about him being amazing! Lol.
He’s basically hover armored Joker 😂 (Dafoe)
Without the campy tone of the Tobey Maguire films, GG feels way darker and I love that.
Don't you mean William Dayfoe?
“You are not lame. You are amazing.”
- Tobey Maguire to Andrew Garfield
Eyes stinging
"Dare I say you're the amazing Spider-Man."
@@definitelynottommywiseau3037 I was sort of hoping he would have said that 😂
@@prestonindustries6968 That would have been a little too on the nose. I think the way he said it was enough for us to get the idea haha
I just finished this movie! It's my favourite moment of Tobey comforting Andrew and calling him Amazing.
I really felt for Andrew Garfield. When he says “I want to fight an alien. I’m so lame.” Then Tobey tells him he’s amazing, that made me smile. But when he catches MJ and he’s crying, that was beautiful. They didn’t have to do that, but I love them for giving him that moment.
I absolutely loved Andrew in NWH. He was emitting a joy and happiness to be there. In every scene, even sad one.
Andrew Garfield got a raw deal, the only one to lose his love interest in the movies. Electro almost looked like an alien in AS2.
Huh, it's obvious that they will do that though?
AHAHAA! same here! Hopefully Hardy and Garfield will be together :)
I really hope all the positive feedback convinces Sony to cut a deal with Marvel to continue the Amazing Spiderman while we maybe take a hiatus from Tom's Spiderman.
Willem Dafoe killed it again. That fight in the apartment leading to May's death was so good. The way he just laughed as Peter was punching him and the brutality of the fight was fantastic.
Gave me the same vibes of Joker laughing maniacally as Batman punched him in The Dark Knight, I loved that GG scene.
@@jojo-he5gj exactly what I thought as I was watching. All I heard was “You have nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength” coming from Joker
I loved that scene too. It gave the movie a dark, kind of horror like turn that fit perfectly with dafoe’s character
When Defoe said “I’m somewhat of a scientist myself”, I was the only guy in the theater who laughed, and it made me feel like I was in a secret club lol
What does that mean?
@@michaelbernard1041 because of the meme. And the throwback to the time he said it in the first movie, but mostly the meme lol. It was like nobody understood the reference to either instances
Is was one of 4 so I get you lol
Same
Same. Nobody else in my theater reacted, but between that line and Toby complaining about his back, I felt like I was in a secret club too lol
I never thought in many years we would get to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire again in a new Spider Man movie but here we are and I'm happy to see them getting a second chance especially for Andrew
not only back on the big screen reprising their roles - but all THREE SPIDER-MEN together as a team! I'm still riding this buzz man, it's fantastic!
Only slight possible chance of that could happen was in a into the spiderverse movie but marvel actually did it 🤣
We witnessed not only 3 generations of Spider-Men, but those 3 generations combining into one. We got to see Andrew Garfield crack Tobey Maguire’s back in Spider-Man costumes, canon in the mcu. Shits crazy lol
Now they need to go really deep and do a movie where Nicholas Hammond shows up. Extra points if you know who he is without looking it up.
Andrew is in talks for tasm3
The Andrew Garfield redemption arc is so great to see. I’m glad that people are starting to realize that he was never the problem. He was a genuine Spider-Man fan and great actor who got fucked over by the studios. He absolutely deserves a second chance and I really want him to come back for more movies in his own universe.
To me he also had the best scene in the movie, when he rescue mj. Talk about character redemption, and his reaction to her afterwards felt so genuine.
I always thought he got a raw deal as Spider-Man he was perfectly fine as Spider-Man but he was in a doomed series
@@Danishdrums What was your favorite scene?
I’d love for him to come back in the Vernon verse
@@alextran3147 So theory.... in the Morbius trailer they refer to both Venom and the "San Francisco" incident putting Morbius firmly in the Venomverse. Also in the trailer is a Spiderman poster with the word Murderer written on it. In the new Spiderman Garfield says he quit pulling his punches. Spiderman is known to have enough strength to toss a car easily. That kind of strength would kill a normal human if used on one.
So the theory is that Garfield's Spiderman got to the point that he killed people when he stopped pulling his punches. The poster in the Morbius trailer is refering to the Garfield Spiderman.
Therefore, the next Venom movie will costar Garfield as the Spiderman of that universe
Andrew saving MJ was one of the greatest cinema experiences I’ve ever had. The crowd went nuts! I also lost my mind when Tobey walked through a portal, and seeing the old villains - especially Green Goblin.
This trilogy was like one big origin story for Tom Holland. A truly spectacular film. Wow.
My favorite spiderman movie is spiderman no way home because of old characters and Tom Holland spiderman characterization was really good.
Andrew really did kill every scene he was in, honestly him and Tobey really had their A game it was insanely good acting from them
We all gasped when he saved her. And we screamed when Andrew first showed up. Clapped when Tobey did.
Andrew Garfield being revealed was amazing. Tobey Maguire's reveal felt...emotional. He is Spider-Man to me. It's like seeing an old best friend that you haven't seen for years. And you remember why you were best friends in an instant.
Yep. That moment made it possible to forgive how the Amazing Spiderman movies played out
They took the time to give each Spidey a big moment that was significant to their character. Andrew is saving MJ as some level of redemption for Gwen. Tobey stops Tom from killing the Goblin since he knows what it's like to kill someone with vengeance in your heart, and finally, Tom makes a massive sacrifice in having everyone who loves him forget about him to keep them safe. This was such a good movie.
"Sometimes, to do what's right, we have to be steady...and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams."
And it was so cool how Tom’s walking away from talking to MJ mirrored Tobey walking away from MJ in the first movie at the end to spare her. Very clever parallel.
Don't forget doc octavius helping them out to save electro from becoming what he became.
I know you commented this like 2 months ago. But I'm so with you man.
This movie is a good movie. The pretentious movie critics are so weird saying all superhero movies are for idiots. Sure, some are bad but this ? Nah. This isn't bad. It's not for idiots.
I love how everyone could tell that Andrew was the most passionate about returning, he didn’t know if he would play Spider-Man ever again, so he jumped back on the role in the best way possible, hopefully all this praise for him could lead to him being a supporting character in the Venom verse or even TASM 3 🔥
@Thomas Kwok i'd love to maybe see him hop over to the deadpool verse... not pulling punches anymore sounds like a character arc that would fit in really well there
@Thomas Kwok Maybe he killed Rhino with that manhole cover, lol
Absolutely. His enthusiasm shined off the screen.
@Thomas Kwok It wouldn't make sense, narratively, because now he redeemed himself and is on mission to find himself a girlfriend.
Andrew got the worst deal when it came to his movies so his enthusiasm made perfect sense! I also liked how Toby was there but giving a matured version of the character. I've seen some say he was "phoning" it in and I disagree - it wouldn't have made much sense for Toby to come in with the same energy as Andrew. Toby is visually older, and I'm glad there was a scene that played that up. Both were great, and I'm glad to see Andrew getting to shine in a movie with a better team.
The fact that Tom Holland's Spiderman was dealing with being accused of murdering Mysterio made his desire to save the other villains in the movie feel more real.
He was being branded a murderer when he was innocent, so he was extra motivated to prove to himself and others that he isn't a murderer. I think that was a brilliant, subtle way to set up the main conflict.
I never even thought of that. That’s so interesting and makes more sense for his motivation.
Also, Tobey stopping him from murdering was great. Tobey murdered Goblin once and years later he regrets it. He was looking for a cure for Goblin for years even though he was dead. He also murdered the guy who killed Uncle Ben and he expresses how much that didn't help him and how he regretted that as well. So when he stops Tom you can see he truly means it. He is showing Tom that there is a better way. Murdering the enemy is what you think is the simple way out. But little do you know that it's thing that keeps bringing you back in. Killing is something even real soldiers are haunted by. I think this movie teaches a great lesson on mercy even in the face of the most vicious person alive. You can kill them and try to move on but what does that do to someone years later? You think you've solved the problem but instead it's the act that is tearing you apart.
Well said.
That pissed me off so fucking bad man
I am not a murderer, therefore I must save these actual murderers? Sigh
The fact that people are finally seeing how awesome Andrew is, and the fact that we’re even considering the possibility of TASM 3, or something like it, makes me so unbelievably happy.
I genuinely was hoping for a TASM3 Sinister Six film, using OSCORP’s inventions. I thought it was such a unique/different spin on things
As someone who didn't care much for Andrew's spiderman and even less so for his movies.. i love the idea of a 3rd. Just give my man a script that's as good as Tom or Tobey's and he'll be fine.
That said... I really want to Tobey again lol.. he's the OG.. this multiverse stuff had to have an effect in their universe's so give me a movie with both to explore that!.
I also loved the part when Andrew's Spiderman was calling himself lame, basically poking fun of himself and in way communicating to the audience that he knows his films did not really live up to the success of Toby's Spiderman and also Tom's spiderman. But then Toby's OG Spiderman steps in and tells Andrew that: no, his Spiderman is AMAZING. Which I agree, Andrew was a very good Spiderman in many ways. Using the word AMAZING, is also very clever because Andrew's movies were called The Amazing Spiderman.
Such a beautiful and wonderfully written moment.
Yeah I was wondering if everyone was going to get the amazing reference.. And you're right.. It was a subtle reference to his movies being the least successful but I thought he was great in this movie.. I'd watch more of his Spiderman if they give him him good material
If I am choosing between Garfield Spiderman movies and Holland Spiderman movies, I am choosing Garfield always. IMO Holland movies were mediocre to me.
Does anyone else hate the cause of this whole movie's existence? That they can't get into college. This is what I can't wrap my head around.
@@kiba7396 Agree. Absolute shit plot. The thing is people do not care about that as long as there are cameos which makes this movie a huge nostalgia bait for the fans. Now, I am not against fan-service that Marvel provides throughout all of their movies, but they lack a good plot and good dialogue.
@@kiba7396 did we Watch the same movie? It was done so because of mysterio exposing his real identity as Peter parker, did you sleep and wake back up in the second act?💀 same with the other nigga that agrees with you lol.
The look on Garfield’s face when Tom said “She’s gone” just broke me. The moisture in his eyes… he fucking delivered. He really did show up for this and he (as an actor AND the character) deserved this little redemption - I’ve always enjoyed his portrayal, just in a different way.
Garfield has actually gone on record saying that he was afraid for Holland precisely because of what happened to him during his tenure as Spidey. So when he came on set you can tell it was because he knows, just like we do, that Tom Holland didn't get the short end of the stick and that Garfield was basically promised closure for his version of the character, which he got. As for Tobey's version... the 'It's complicated' bit about having a significant other really sticks to the idea that he's doing his damndest to balance out both Peter and Spidey.
Yeah even after catching mj he asking if she still alright and i can see emotion in his eyes
Imagine if Andrew came back for ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 3’ and it adapts ‘Spider-Man Blue’.
This movie is vindication for everyone that was a fan of Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, like “nah, you’re right- he IS cool.”
@@SamaritanPrime I've recently watched Andrew's Spider-Man films for the first time & he's definitely now my fave. I don't know what I was expecting, with all the criticisms I've heard over the years. But I LOVED them! I just mentally extract the bits I don't like from the film, which still leaves me with a great portrayal by Andrew & the hottest Spider-Man/love interest chemistry on the big screen.🔥 He truly IS amazing!
Andrew Garfield's "PETER 3" line delivery is absolute perfection. I want to see more of him as Spider-Man so bad!
That was my favorite part of the movie😂
“Peter 3” the title of his next Spider-Man film.
I thought I was the only who thought that! My favorite line of the movie first time watching❗I laughed and smiled so big, like he already knew of course because he gets the least attention, but he was the man‼️ Unlike what Electro said, he's still the shit‼️
The amazing spiderman 3😏
I laughed so much at that line read! I also loved “listen to Peter number 1”😹
I love how the Spider men contrasted eachother:
Tom Holland was the up and comer, Andrew was a more grizzled but still young spider man, and Toby has basically seen everything at this point.
Andrew being the Spidey who suffered and lost the most and became bitter was just... such a surprising turn. In such a good way too! It felt like a look at Tom's possible future, and then he got to redeem himself. It felt like all three of them as characters got something out of the whole universe crossover. Was super impressed with how they pulled this off, it shouldn't have worked.
@@hollandscottthomas And yet it worked out so well
I liked that each of them had something to add to the team, for example when Tom was the only one who has ever been in team, so he became leader of the trio.
He industrial revolution and its consequences
They were all three various ages of Peter, with Tom being the youngest and Toby being the oldest and most experienced. Not a big age gap, but definitely enough that they each could bring something different to their role. The 'back fix' was also a fun nod to Toby being the older Peter.
Andrew Garfield was by far the best thing about this movie for me. Him saving MJ was my favorite part of the movie.
100%, he was so good that I wanted more and more of him. He was on another level, and that MJ save was the most emotional I felt in that film.
It made me realize that Tobey and Tom had (generally) decent movies, so their performances, while great, never needed to be exceptional, whereas Andrew (and Emma too) elevated TASM to a level it didn't deserve considering what they had to work with. I hope Andrew can look back with more fondness about his Spiderman journey now, I hope he got healed like all the others in the movie did!
I cried at that catch scene. Andrew Garfield best Spiderman.
The movie showed that Andrew is good when he has a decent script lol
I found myself tearing up at that part. So awesome and so happy that he was able to get the closure he needed.
He is by far the best actor out of the 3. Just watched it said the same thing to my friend. Even though Tom outdid himself, Andrew is just magnificent and show-stealing.
I’m surprised you didn’t highlight Dafoe’s performance during the hallway fight. It was so brutal and when he smiles as he’s getting punched I was genuinely terrified. Also, the power bomb through like six floors. Such a brutal fight.
He was the best in the film... no, in the series.
I agree. Him laughing while getting punched in the face was so disturbing and scary. Dafoe was amazing in this movie.
Absolutely
Dafoe and Garfield played their roles the best i feel. Dafoe is just a legend and Garfield is up and coming and doing great work
One of the biggest takeaways for me was the fact that William Defoe can be more horrifying than any mask just by smiling !!
I loved how no one was there “just for the check”, every actor put so much into the movie and it really paid off !👍
The man who plays DOC OCK jokingly said in a interview that he was just there for the money lol
Willem Dafoe is like if Jim Carrey turned on his grinch face 24/7
Willem Dafoe apparently rallied for the original part, so I’m not surprised he’d return again. He’s one of those perfect casting choices that’s hard to find.
"and he's wearing that dumb Power Rangers mask but he's scarier without it on"

@@melissarodriguez5349 even though he did such a good fn job! You'd think all the actors would've half assed it but nope.
the emotion on andrew's face when he saved mj is almost beyond description. it was almost like he finally got some forgiveness from the universe for losing gwen. just incredible.
I got chills too when that scene happen.
I got tears..
I was not a fan of his Spidey movies, but I'm a fan of him...AG was insanely good in 99 Homes with Michael Shannon.
i would have liked it more if holland tried the same webbing techique to catch MJ then that is when andrew swings in flings it away and catches her manually. Would have been a nice extra touch and also a learning moment for holland never to try that with anyone. Not to forget that they are more durable than normal people and that it can be easy to forget that. Not just saving someone but by avoiding another spiderman making the exact same whiplash mistake. But....we can't have everything so it was still a great moment to see regardless.
I definitely didn't choke up at scene 😥
Who else lost their minds when Andrew showed up because they recognized the suit?
And Andrew's performance was truly heart-warming!
It was like a fever dream of some sort. It's just unbelievable.
I already knew it was him when I saw it was all dark
It seems people are NOW using the word "heartwarming" instead of "wholesome". Thank you. I was sick of that.....ugly word. I'm glad you sheep are trending a word that sounds less......feminine.
@@WhirlingMusic what the fuck are you talking about
@@WhirlingMusic damn i can feel the testosterone coming through the monitor. Along with the grease and nachos.
I love how Tobey prevented Tom Holland from killing Green Goblin with his glider. It really harkens back to how Tobey accidentally killed the Goblin with his glider in Spiderman 1 and how that messed his friendship with Harry up through the rest of the trilogy.
Not only that but goes back to like spideerman 3 and May talking about how Uncle Ben wouldn't want you to live with a second of revenge on your mind that it turns you into something you are not speech she gave.
Tobey didn't kill the Goblin though...
@@Nova-fh2et Yeah but he tried to kill sandman and had revenge in his heart in spiderman 3.
No i think to prevent him from killing, like he did to the guy he thought was uncle Ben's killer in part 1
It also goes back to Andrew's words of "Stop holding back his punches"
I love how literally everyone loved Andrew Garfield. He was such a great spiderman. Hope they make TASM3. Garfield is due all the love and respect. With the minimum time he had on screen he delivered so much more. Everyone is talking about Garfield. Sign of a great actor
It was never Garfield that was the problem, it was Sony just doing terribly with the writing. Garfield was always great in the role, but it doesn't matter if the rest of the movie doesn't deliver.
Maybe if they are smart they can use the live action cast for future Into the Spiderverse installments
@@bmagada Dude, they hired the guys who did the Transformer movies and Star Trek into Darkness. Those screenwriters are terrible and only have jobs because anyone is willing to watch popular properties even with mindless action.
Andrew Garfield has one face for every emotion, every scenario in every movie he ever did lol. Not just the Spiderman movies, but all movies. He is only cast because he is white and pretty.
@@corgispotter What does him being white have anything to do with this?
Everyone gasped and screamed when Andrew took off his mask, but when Tobey came through, he received a standing ovation!!! This was a wonderful experience for me. I haven’t had one like this in a long time. This is why there is nothing like going to see a movie in a theater.
I wish I was in your theater! Mine was boring. I was the only one who clapped and hollered when Toby came through. Lame people lol
@@sarasharp9323 same my theater was dead lol. Really missed an experience
But at the same time, the audience felt the emotion more in Andrew Garfield, Im not surprised since he is the best actor among the 3
@@sarasharp9323 I had the same experience not going to lie I screamed and shed a little tear and literally no one else had a reaction.
@@foundingseven7759 After watching movies like Hacksaw Ridge and The Social Network, I can agree with you.
Seeing Tobey in this film was the same magnitude as seeing Christopher Reeves in Smallville... maybe better. Reeves' accident was so tragic, that seeing him in the chair afterwards was just not the same. Seeing Tobey come back, was almost literally like seeing him come back from the dead. And he was perfect. They didn't try to un-age him, and make it look like he'd been pulled from his universe as a 20y/o college student. He was older, wiser, slower (as Peter). It was maybe my favourite movie experience of all time.
I think 'Into the Spider-verse' really showed Marvel/Sony what we wanted, and they absolutely delivered. I only wish MJ from Tobey's era had made it through as well.
This is the 1st comment so far that mentions into the spider verse and I'm surprised. That movie was so well done and really opened the door to this. I was really glad when Electro said he thought Peter was black because outside of being a joke it was a honorable nod to Miles Morales and particularly the Spider Verse film.
I think adding MJs would have been a little too much. Raimi's Spider-Man 3 added too many villains (No Way Home fixed that problem by adding more Spider-Men) and it dragged as a result. If a major character doesn't add content to the movie in addition to just presence, cut it.
@@daynechastant Yeah, I take your point.
Probably just 14yo me with a crush on Kirsten Dunst coming out in me 😂😂
For me the most emotional moment by far was Tom hugging Andrew and Tobey and thanking them. A passing of the torch scene for one, but also an appreciation that they both deserve for being spidermen and putting it all on these incredible roles. Still can't believe this movie is real, 20 years of history
When Tom was about to leave those 2, I muttered "Oh just hug them, man.". Very glad that brotherhood hug happened. 🥺
@@ammarharith5512 yes!
Not a tasm fan actually hated tasm
But when he saved mj and he felt like crying. One of the best scenes i liked about the movie. I just wished tobey had more conversations with the villains more since the 4 of them worked together as an actor way back and did enjoy. And had a pretty good cinematic story on their relationship. But all and all im just really mindblown that this movie had happened like im so glad i didnt die for 20 years. I never expected this to ever happen in life. Oh my god.
@@chadangeles3856 it is mind-blowing truly
it was improvised! tom improvised it
I really liked the "Spider-Sense" being shown while Doctor Strange separates Peter's soul from his body. That's the reason why he was able to move his arms... they dont say it, just show it.
Thanks for confirming this. 😄
Without Peter in the body to have an idea of what danger is the body was just instinctively avoiding everything haha
@@aperson3723 It was an out of body experience. I'm sure at a moment like that his spider sense was heightend to a deadly level. Lol
@@aperson3723 In the comics, the spider sense doesn't just warn Peter of danger to him, but to others around him as well. If Strange got the box, all of the villains would be sent to their deaths, so it reacted as a danger to them
@@anthonyduran6387 where was Tobey's spider sense when he got stabbed?
I love that this kind of ends the “who’s the better Spiderman” debate. They were all great, especially while working together. Tobey will always be my favorite Spiderman since those core films came out when I was a kid, but Andrew really brought a lot to the role. I’m not a huge fan of the Amazing Spiderman movies, but there’s no doubt Andrew rocked this movie. You felt the weight of that character and I’m so happy he got another shot at it.
I mean now that we have the context of an origin story I've always enjoyed the last two movies I thought they were great but I understand people's concerns with them.
However this makes me enjoy all of them a lot more. I feel really bad for trashing Andrew Garfield movies. But I did understand it was Sony and now I understand it even better. They all got to do their thing.
This movie was the definitive proof I needed... Andrew Garfield is amazing and I want a soft reboot of TAS franchise. Good script, good direction, and a decent budget. Get to work Hollywood
Toby was the one that got me emotional.
@@synystervidz3451 I agree. I wouldn’t mind more Andrew/Spiderman films, but I imagine Disney won’t let that happen. They have a deal with Sony to let them use the character, and I’m not sure their deal would continue if Sony starts its own offshoot Spiderman films. But we’ll see 😊
@@DJdext I almost died when he crossed through the portal
I like the respect they gave to Toby..I got the feeling he was the alpha spidey, his ability to produce his own web and also his ability to quite easily stop Hollands spidey from killing the green goblin were kind of a "take a bow sir" moment!.
Don't forget he outwebbed Andrew in their initial meeting by reacting faster blocking his web shooters! Man was alpha af.
@@chomosuke0720 very true... gg's
Tobey was OG Spider-Man. Older, wiser, more mature and supportive.
LOL Just no, You got the feeling of NOTHING with this "aLpHa SpiDeY" nonsense you're going on about. Stop being a fanboy with when you say nonsense like that. Obviously everyone loves Tobey's spiderman but saying this "take a bow " is just pure fanboy nonsense idealism, come on man, that's ridiculous thing to say entirely.
And him being able to "produce his own web" is FAR from being an "aLphA sPiDey" lol imagine saying that with a straight face as that was just a creative decision that Sam Raimi came up with, FAR from being this "alpha" nonsensical notion.
And it's insanely nonsensical how you take a powerful emotional moment like tobey stopping holland's spiderman from killing green goblin to think it's some kind of "HURR DURR LOOK HOW AMAZING HE IS AS ALPHA HURR DURR", no bro, you've COMPLETELY missed the point of that scene entirely.
Stop, seriously just stop. This tobey fanboyism is getting out of hand when said like this.
Tobey was like papa spidey
Willem Defoe is a genius. A master of his craft and his generation's best actor. Period.
One of the bests. But yeah. Don't remember when was his performance that was anything less than stellar. And not only Huge overblown performances. He can do subdued and subtle as well.
The fact that he went all out at age 66, wanting to do his own stunts, yet provided the most grounded and real fights in the MCU, just goes to show how great he is.
I wouldn't say he's his generation's best actor, I personally still give that title to Daniel Day Lewis. He's certainly top 3 in my book though.
@@Lexyboogie Daniel Day Lewis is SO OVERRATED. Watch Age of Innocence. Young Michelle Pfeiffer was acting circles around him SMH
he outshines every character in the movie
Everybody was great, but Andrew and Dafoe were the standouts to me. Dafoe was the best version of the Green Goblin to date. He was mean, vicious, and brutal; plus that apartment fight was one of the best scenes in the movie. As for Andrew, he brought his A game which shows that he still really cares about playing the role of Spider-Man. Also, the scene where he saves MJ and starts to tear up was the best redemption that his Spider-Man could have had. Overall, this movie was the best.
As for both Tobey and Andrew, I think they both deserve to be Spider-Man again in their own universes. Tobey should get one more film that can be a proper send off to the character like Logan was for Wolverine. As for Andrew, bring him back and put him in the same universe as Venom and Morbius.
@@jakemitchell1132 what would that film be because I feel like it would be weird to do a three because you can't do a after no way home movie because theres simply things that would be drastic changes. For example I'm pretty sure Gwen would be a live and that along is a giant deference. I guess you could say the endgame time travel rules applie and start from there but even then I don't think a post no way home movie would be good he had a great send off let's leave it at that
@@jakemitchell1132Proper send-off? Ummm that's what this film was...
@@jakemitchell1132 What about Andrew being the Spider-Man that gets brought back somehow by Strange and joins the Avengers for a couple movies? And Tom can remain just in the stand-alone Spidey movies in Boston because that's where he chooses to be to be near MJ? Seeing Parker and Banner as the scientists helping the Avengers could be great. Just an idea...
I legit cried during that scene. I may not have seen Amazing Spider Man 2.. but I read about it and know about it and saw clips later... I had to basically cover my mouth because I was on the verge of losing it.
This movie is literally the endgame of all the Spider-Man movies for the past 20 years, it took all the good from each version of Spider-Man as well as fixed issues with them as well mainly Garfield definitely would say it’s up there with Spider-Man 2
@BlackholeTtson452 yes it's almost as good as spider man 2, but hard to compare because NWH is different because it's multiversal, the ending is very good!
@@George-um2vc The ending to NWH reminds me of the ending on Spider-Man 2 in a lot of ways! For example the part where Tobey tells MJ "you and I can never be". It makes sense in canon that the Peter's will have very similar events happen in their lives but in different ways. It's safe to say that Holland will get his own Venom. Garfield already has Tom Hardy's Venom they just need to meet.
no
I totally agree with you bud. The original Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire came out when in my last year of High School and I was so AMAZED by it. Like it really was made to be a comic style too, it was unrealistic in a lock of aspects but not in a way that took you out of the movie. Besides X-Men (that came out a year or two before), there were no good comic book movies back then...well there were hardly any in general. Like Punisher came out in 2003 I remember, and that I found entertaining if others didn't (much better than the sequel). I really did not mind the two Fantastic Four movies besides Jessica Alba's awful acting...don't get me wrong, she was and still is GORGEOUS. But ya she was an awful awful choice for Sue Storm. But then again her and anything negative in those 2 movies looks like gold compared to the one they tried rebooting. Do they ever make movies that get reshoots (and so obvious) that turns out well? lol.
@BlackholeTtson452 only time will tell. You have to wait for the hype to die down before really figuring out how you feel. That being said it was the best Spiderman movie ive seen since Spiderman 2. Idk if better is the right word since theyre both so good at different things
I’m so glad people finally got to see what I saw in Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. His movies weren’t the best but he was alway my favorite Spider-Man because of the passion and personality he had for the character I just wished people could see his true acting skills; Andrew is really incredible actor but now more people see that. Even though Tobey will always be the OG, Andrew really deserve the name “The Amazing Spider-Man”
SPOILER:
The saddest part of this movie for me, was how Andrew Garfield said that after Gwen's death he stopped pulling his punches. It showed the darkness that can grow in one's heart, and the ending with Green Goblin and Tom Holland showed that too. It really struck me, showing a truly human side to a character that tries to be anything but human. To be a perfect machine and have all the answers. I also loved Andre Garfield as Spiderman so, I'm probably biased
Garfield was fantastic in this especially. He really has the role of spiderman. Despite the movies themselves
and in the end toms spidey took tobeys aunt mays advice "sometimes doing the right thing means giving up on the thing we want the most"
It was the deepest most character driven spider man since spider man 2.
And it was Garfield’s failures and redemption that helped to shape it, and it was given the proper final touch with the older Tobey Maguire stepping in to stop Tom from making the mistake of killing Norman Osborn. It was absolutely brilliant. Hollywood movies are rarely this great, let alone an MCU film
Nah man, you are right; we all felt that. I loved that scene and I appreciated how they expanded on what happened to him after TASM2. This movie gave him some much needed closure
Zsjl was the last superhero film that had this emotional weight come from me
Still can’t decide whether the best thing about this movie is Willem Defoe or Andrew Garfield. Everyone already knows how great WD is, but I’m so glad AG had his chance to shine - it goes beyond Spiderman; it’s phenomenal acting.
Willem Dafoe for sure. Loved Andrew, but Dafoe is a phenomenal actor and arguably one of the best ever. There can be more Spiderman actors, but there will NEVER be another Green Goblin in my book.
well said
WD. I wish he was in the movie more
Are there people who didnt know Andrew Garfield is one of the best actors of this generation?
@@PettyPrinzeJr seriously he’s phenomenal in everything else he’s done
I just realized that the title of this movie, "No Way Home", actually means a lot for Tom's Peter Parker: He lost Aunt May and he got erased out of the memory of his loved ones. His idea of "home" was completely gone.
I also loved how much Andrew was pouring into the movie. I hope that if Sony does Sinister Six, Andrew will be our Spidey.
Right! I love it. Homecoming and Far From Home both worked well in terms of their respective themes and overall plots, but No Way Home actually made me think, "Oh... the title is low-key a spoiler," after watching the movie.
It also has meaning for the other characters, too, particularly some of the villains. Since some of them originally died in their universes, if they get sent back via the spell getting reversed, they die, so they really have no way home.
I almost cried when I realized that after the movie! 😭
For me, I think alot of people will go back and watch Andrew Garfield in his previous Spiderman movies and love it even more because he truly shined in this film giving his best in performance. Tobey Maguire made me cry just seeing him in this particular universe crossover. It was the Best MARVEL film yet to date.

This movie makes me wish that Spider-Man (2002) had more scenes where the Green Goblin had his mask off. Imagine the crazy facial expressions Dafoe was making that we never got to see? His acting in this movie was phenomenal!
i remember hearing about how Willem Dafoe hated wearing the mask in Spider-Man because it covered most of his facial performance.
First thing they do is to symbolically destroy the mask. It was always a bad design for an otherwise great green goblin. Having Dafoe just wear the hood fit the character so much better.
He is like that in most of his movies …
@@Danishdrums nah I honestly liked the green mask a lot wayy better than the comic version, the hood was good but I simply liked the green mast with yellow eyes better

When I saw he had sewn the classic spiderman suit and chose to make sacrifices while living in a dingy apartment, I knew he'd truly learned from his forebears. This movie feels like a fever dream my brain dreamed up and wanted but it's actually real and really good.
the first half was average not that interesting the second half was incredible
At the end when Tom Hollands spider man just looked at mj and Ned was my favorite part. I cried so much then
@@rksilver11 Omfg same he’s gonna leave them to live their normal lives it made me so emotional… I can’t get ovrt the fact we might never see mj or ned ever again. Or atleast not as the same as we remember them. Peter lost everything, but also gained infinite wisdom. And I am looking forward what he’ll have to offer in the future of the mcu
We really are living in the best timeline. Andrew Garfields redemption in this movie was something i didn't think I need, but when it happened, boy did I need it.
I love the moment when Andrew says “I wanna fight aliens!” He’s basically begging Sony for Amazing Spider-Man 3.
It would be cool if they brought Andrew’s Spider-Man back in the “Sony verse” and had him face Tom Hardy’s Venom.

Once Andrew and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man appeared through the portals like legit it was just HEAVEN ON EARTH , my theater flat out ERUPTED and just wow, this was definitely justice for Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man , and man it was so so amazing and glad to see him back once again as Spider-Man , just redemption for him and we all know that Spider-Man meant so much to Garfield
He’s such a wonderful actor. He deserved way more than the script Sony gave to him.
@Russell HunterHe got everything he needed from this movie. They completed his character arc and Sony messed up his universe too much to make any decent movie out of it
I've never cried as many times in a Marvel movie as I did with this one! So good!!! I hope they bring Garfield back. I liked his movies though and I'm so glad that everyone else is finally recognizing how great he was! In my opinion, this is easily the best Marvel movie. Loved it!!!
One of the funniest Willem moments for me was when Peter and Aunt May were talking in feast, and in the background Norman is just stealing baked goods and putting them in his coat pockets
Edit: Remember in the first movie (raimi 2000's)when they were having thanksgiving Norman(Goblin) coulnd't wait to get his hands on Aunt may's cooking. Dude was practically licking his fingers
Personally hated that gag. Felt really out of character for a cheap laugh
I wonder why they put that in? I didnt get why that happened?
It's weird to see Norman go from being a billionaire, to a homeless man stealing food.
I didn't liked it at first. I thought it was super out of character but upon further thinking about it makes sense. He previously says he's homeless and Oscorp doesn't exist in this universe. He doesn't want to be the Goblin at this point so he probably hasn't eaten anything since he doesn't have any money. Not going to lie at some point I was hating this movie so much, felt like they were making beloved characters a joke, but they really fixed everything beautifully at the end. Such a roller coaster of a movie. My favorite from the home trilogy for sure.
@@uninspiredradio7326 i feel like it made people put their guard down about the goblin suspicion. it also made him seem more innocent as well. But yeah I thought it was a silly add in.
My favorite scene might sound a little weird, but it’s the scene where Tobey talks to Doc Ock after Ock removes Electro’s arc reactor. They just sound so happy to see each other, and as allies this time, it was just super heartwarming.
That was one of my favorite scenes too
And the Raimi trilogy music playing in the background was just perfection
I cried during this. “Trying to do better”. Nothing but laughs and tears. This movie was therapy
The only complaint I have there is that Peter couldn't possibly have heard what Ock said to complete his sentence. It's something a lot of script writers do to make a scene sound cooler but if you check it again, Peter arrives a little after Ock says "The power of the sun" and also says it very quiet in a scenery that up to that point has been very noisy. Him completing the sentence makes no sense since he wasn't close enough to hear what Ock said.
@@BroTastic23 he was right above him and it was completely quiet. He’s also Spider-Man with heightened senses. He could have easily heard him
Aunt May's death legitimately shocked me. I never thought Marvel would actually go that far and I was even in denial for a bit after it happened. I know Endgame had its fair share of real deaths too, but it was always something that you sort of expected was going to happen because of the high stakes and the contracts ending.
It was very sad but was very necessary. As entertaining as they were, the previous mcu Spider-Man movies lacked grit and balls.
No way home was fun and entertaining, and like the tobey movies, it wasn’t afraid to get super violent at times.
It's easier to kill off characters in the MCU if they dont have action figures and merch made for them
I hope Disney learns from this movie and allow emotional scenes to resonate for a while before immediately going for a joke
Same here! I was like “ok the spell thingie will bring her back”😭
This scene was totally raw. The like weird denial that the characters had that May was fatally injured and May acting all confused really made me feel like I was watching an actual death scene and how people would genuinely react.
"are you going to fight looking like a older youth pastor?" Andrew had some of the best lines in this movie
I loved the end scene when Dr Strange says to Peter: "You have to understand, that everyone who knows and loves you, we... We'd have no memory of you."
The 'we' is so poignant in this line, because Dr. Strange practically says to Peter that he loves him. Probably thinking back to the moment with Iron Man in End Game, realising that he would now lose another friend.
you see strange tearing up as well, showing he cares for pete
@@lonewolf604 no shit it prolly inspired him. He has never seen that big of a sacrifice, especially now it's coming from a kid that didn't know that he could ask MIT to reconsider his and his friends acceptance (btw this is one of my favorite and IMO realistic features of a kid)
I think a big reason why something like "I'm something of a scientist myself" works is because every other thing in the film isn't cheap. The villains have meaningful arcs in the film and aren't just quick callbacks to the previous films, and Tobey and Andrew both serve a meaningful purpose as supporting roles to Tom's Spider-Man. That allows the film to make those little jokes and not have them bring the movie down at all, because nothing else in the film is played cheaply for nostalgia.
lol the villains have meaningful arcs? are you stoned
@@snrz150 the big 3 do. Sandman and lizard were obviously filler
@@miliyn17 Which goes against op's comment. Those 2 were in for cheap nostalgia and they even reused footage.
Tons of cringe jokes that overstayed their welcome, several of which caused the movie to drag in several places.
Punches were pulled in several spots like where aunt may should've been impaled by the glider, etc.
Jonah Jameson was also pointless and a cheap version of his former self.
The movie was good, but not as great as everyone is claiming.
@@miliyn17 I mean Sandman and Lizard didn't want to change, they where happy as they are. Electro just wanted to feel powerful and that he is something greater than how others treated him, which is why he was able to have a heart to heart with Amazing Spider-Man.
@@Joel-wx7zk I agree, but sandman wasn’t really happy as he was, more so indifferent
He didn’t care, he just wanted to go home
Matt Murdock was so impactful with the 30 seconds he got, he literally made all of Peters legal troubles go away. Peter was a person of interest in a mass murder plot with video evidence against him, and Matt just said ''not anymore!''
Well, he is a really good lawyer...
When Tom hugs and thanks Toby and Andrew in the end, it really felt like he was thanking them for passing the spidey torch to him, Tom was thanking them as spidey but also as a kid who has enjoyed them from the audience... in that way it felt like a hug from the audiences as well..
I’m so glad people are starting to appreciate Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. He’s so good in that role and he got shafted with there not being at 3rd movie
Not really it probably would have been horrible
Andrew is a good actor but the movies sucked. Wasn't his fault though. He was directed poorly. It could have been great.
I agree that his performance aged very well. But his movies franchise wasn’t the best. Superhero films at that time just didn’t know how to handle ensemble casts of multiple storylines (X-men 3, Spider-Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2, Batman and Robin)
I haven’t felt this way about a movie since the first avengers. Seeing all my hero’s collide and work together , and now seeing all of our spider man childhood corner stones help Tom flourish. It’s freakin insane.
🤣🤣 it was an iconic and amazing movie full of iconic and amazing moments that were iconically amazing 😆. My 18 year old self loved the first Tobey movie. So awesome to see the 50 year old alcoholic actor come back and make me so happy inside 😆😆👏👏🤘🤘🤘
The fighting sequences with Green Goblin were top-notch. Before watching the movie, I thought that I'd see a lot of CGI or stunt double fights, especially when the actors for the villains are kinda old(er) now. But Wilhem Dafoe was able to pack a punch just like the first Spider-Man movie. Also, seeing more of his face with his Goblin voice and expressions was so thrilling.
Dafoe said it was his condition to accept the role. He didn't want to be a meaningless cameo and he insisted to do his own stunts and fight scenes. Because according to him, those are the most fun and help him connect with the character.
Dafoe’s dedication to the role is truly admirable.
That scene where Peter kept punching goblin's face and he just kept on smiling was legitimately terrifying. Dafoe somehow managed to make this goblin performance even better than his original performance, he absolutely killed it
@@TRPD-hb3ui that gave me Ramsey Snow vibes but so much freaking better. Dafoe is the only Green Goblin we ever need!
@@TRPD-hb3ui thats scene sent chills down my spine
My only minor complaint was regarding the score. I did like how they occasionally used elements of the Danny Elfman, James Horner and Hans Zimmer soundtracks, but it would have been nice if these were used in a more prominent way. For example, the final battle could have weaved between the different Spider-Man themes depending on what Peter was on screen. Instead, they just used the new Spider-Man theme, with far more conservative use of the older scores.
This isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. It just feels like a missed opportunity as this is likely a one time thing.
i totally get where you're coming from but honestly michael giacchino knocked it out of the park with the score for this movie - im not remotely exaggerating when i say exit through the lobby and forget me knots are my two favorite scores of all time.
I had a feeling that the movie might end up disappointing me, given the monumental expectations everyone had with it. But, man, it surpassed it and then some! I loved every minute of it and am literally dying to watch it again. Seeing the three Spidermen together was an experience I will never forget. I and my friend kept saying "I still can't believe we are actually seeing this" throughout the last part of the film. It was just insane. This is what a cinema experience is all about. You can have all the OTTs in the world, but nothing beats enjoying a film like No Way Home with a packed crowd, screaming and crying in joy. This was the best moment of the year for me.
Bro, you need me to call the ambulance?! Is your breathing alright? You aren’t alone are you?!?! Wait, you DID say you were LITERALLY dying right?
@@ian12346 Haha. Yeah, I got carried away and exaggerated. But I am pretty excited to see it again. I hope I won't need an ambulance to visit the theater though.
I still can't believe they managed to live up to the potential this idea had. It could have been *so* easy to screw up - Chris mentions that they could have just had Tobey and Andrew show up and say one liners, but they and the villains ended up actually being fleshed out characters that continued from their individual stories. That was *exactly* what this movie needed.
@@illustriousrocket4476 Not only did their characters continue from their individual stories, the movie also gave their individual arcs some closure. At least in Andrew's case. I can't believe how beautifully they did it. We all felt that they might appear just during the final battle. But, boy, were we wrong. And happily so! The interactions between the three Spideys will remain in my memory for a long time. I want to savor that again on the big screen.
Exactly! Nothing can beat watching a movie like this in the theatre.
I frangirled too hard when Tobey and Tom were uplifting Andrew after he said he was the lane spider man 😂😂 their entire trio was beautiful
"You are AMAZING"
It's what brother's do🙏
The only person who vocally lost on both counts, in my theater, was also a fangirl. You are not alone in this world.
As a friend of mine pointed out as well: they needed Doc Oc to contain Electro, since his tentacles were literally designed to contain energy. So good arrival while Electro was running amok was super timely.
Good observation by your friend there! I hadn't put that together.
Watching this movie felt like a fever dream. Growing up and going to see the original Sam Raimi Spider-Man films in theaters always made a huge impression on my life. No Way Home is no means a perfect film but man am I super grateful to have witnessed that experience.
Andrew , Willem and Tom gave three incredible performances in this movie . Willem Dafoe 's Goblin for me was even more evil this time around than he was in the 1st Raimi film Tobey also did a really solid job especially considering he had not a had film credit for 4 years before this. This is also the first film for me where Tom Holland's Spidey truly felt like Spider-Man.
Also include Alfred, he was born to play doc OC.
Toby was great, he was sam ramis spiderman again. He didn't have anything to work with to shine like Andrew but he did his best.
He felt like spiderman in civil war but then he became iron boy and it just felt off til now
@@kylekondit9709 the only thing they couldve done maybe was try to redeem Venom from his universe
@@mikeparez He was never Iron Boy Jr. He was struggling with his identity among a world of superheroes. He turned down Tony in Homecoming, became an Avenger for a very short period of time, then went back to being Spider-Man, but felt like he had to fill in the shoes of Stark. This was him finally learning to let go and grow up.
I love that this movie paid respect to every Spiderman movie. Not only that, but it paid respect to us fans listening to what we wanted (the cameos, bringing back daredevil, staying true to the Spiderman characters, actually giving these guest characters a real role, etc. etc. etc.)
Sure but that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it.
@@jimmycevallos4468 i didn't say I was
@@jimmycevallos4468 That’s what he means , no one is entitled to it but they did it anyway . Which makes it better , they didn’t have to bud they did.
@@eugenejenkins8115 Exactly, love this!
I love how this film serves as something of a sequel for ALL the Spider-Man films. It doesn’t just give Tom Holland a well rounded trilogy but it gives an excellent retrospective to the events of Andrew and Tobey’s films. Tobey getting to save Norman and Andrew getting to save Max was so satisfying because that’s where they “failed” in their original movies. Plus that scene with Tobey and Dock Ock was emotionally touching. My childhood has officially come full circle with this and I absolutely love it.
This was a satisfying closure to the last 2 spidermen saga, it even did justice to sandman, electro and lizard seeing how they all got to go back being subtle of their dispositions and not vile towards the end. Same thing could be said about Norman Osborn, he got a hold of his goblin nanites and was cognizant of the farfetched situation he put everyone in. Really wish we get to see more of him in spiderverse or in any of the future multiverse movies.
It also ingeniously served to make the ENTIRE Homecoming Trilogy as the Spider-Man origin story, except the narrative role of Uncle Ben has been divided among Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, the other Spider-Men, and Aunt May over the course of 6 films.
The Spider-Man at the end of No Way Home is the true beginning of MCU Spider-Man's journey as a true thematic Spider-Man, the one that truly understands the idea that "With Great Power comes Great Responsibility."
Tom is getting another trilogy
@@i_Made_That They will be adapting Kraven's last hunt for college trilogy. I mean, they have casted taylor johnson as kraven and a little bit of symbiote was left behind. They are doing the alien symbiote and kraven's last hunt for the college trilogy. It might be really great. Just think of it.
No Way Home: "You know, I'm something of a sequel myself"
I couldn't agree more about Andrew!
If his movies had half the writing/acting/directing as Tobey and Toms' I think he would be considered the best Spider-man by a landslide.
Uh.. They were.. Marc Webb really tried to bring his own style into the films & Andrew, Emma Stone and a few other actors in the TASM movies were excellent. It's only that Sony f*cked w/ the writing. Also if you didn't know a lot of ppl DO consider him the best S-M for them.
@@Comicbroe405 You're not wrong, the acting and directing was not "bad" by any means, but it wasn't great. Other than a few moments with Andrew and Emma, no other performances stood out at all which is why i believe the movies didn't do as well.
Willem Dafoe, Molina, RDJ, Gyllenhual, ect. brought so much to their respected franchise that no characters in TASM really could. (Again probably because of Sony and the writing)
@@cheffjeff4645 Ok I'll agree on the performances part.
Andrew’s spidey has always been a soft spot in my heart. The scene where he desperately fought harry to save Gwen only to fail broke me in the theatre. It has to be one of the saddest and greatest moment in spidey film for me.
Outside of all the phenomenal returning actors, I just want to say how crazy it has been to see Tom’s Spider-Man mature from Civil War all the way to No Way Home. It feels like the pinnacle of what the MCU, despite all of it’s flaws, is great at. Seeing Peter take his coffee and leave was such a perfect moment, and only makes me more excited to see what’s next.
It was great to see him actually get beaten up in this one. It was darker and the stakes were higher.
Andrew was awesome, the way he didn't have to say a word when he caught MJ hes face said it all, he'd redeemed himself and found peace in that and to be able to say it all through hes facial emotions is unreal he knew and we knew no more was needed. Unreal
When Andrew asked MJ if she was ok and she looked at him and asked him whether he is, a random girl in the audience laughed really loud as in "of course he is okay, he's got superpowers bitch!" The way she didn't get the scene at all annoyed me so much as those people will then go and tell everyone how stupid these movies are.
Andrew Garfield was the best of the three in this movie and reminded me how great of an actor he truly is. Its a shame that his great acting was undercast by the poor plot and structure of his own movies, because I truly think if given the right tools he could have a really good spider man run.
Justice for Andrew, man. We need another Movie, and he deserves it.
I think he’ll get one
I will petition for TASM 3
Andrew shows how f*cking good he is with the right writers. And I thought he was already fantastic in his own films despite their many, many flaws (mostly thanks to studio).
On one hand I want another Garfield movie but on the other hand I don't want it to be in the shitty universe they made for him.
Now that the Multiverse is established they could in theory make a Spider-Man movie with Garfield, even Toby.
Its in the works now
Also the fact that this kid was supposed to get into MIT and now he’s just gonna get his GED. Really shows you how much changes for him.
I know the fact that this man dropped out of high school, had to lose his closet friends, and is completely alone was hard to watch, curious how Peter will be when we see him next
A GED is basically an unofficial diploma for those who couldn't finish high school. It can still be used to get into post-secondary education. So, there's still hope for Peter in the long run.
@@aaronmiller6200 oh definitely there’s still hope! It’s just like my guy was at this renown stem high school and was on track to mit then got mega doxxed by mysterio 😭
8:00 "I want to go back to Andrew's universe" Totally agree, I hope they bring back Andrew as Sony's "Venom-verse" Spiderman, since now we have a separate Symbiote in Avengers-verse. Also, it really felt like every scene with the three Peters just hanging out and talking, was genuine. Like it really felt like Tom, Tobey, and Andrew talking to eachother. Normally I'd hate that it felt so meta, but for whatever reason it totally worked in this movie.
All of them having to carry a franchise and being the most popular &!iconic Marvel character does give them a unique bond I would think.
@@The614zeke i actually think the same Andrew actually is the most spiderman but his movie isnt work for me.
i always believed that this movie was a redemption arc after the failure of Spider man 3 and TAS2. Both ended not the best but seeing this really resonated that this movie meant for Tobey and Andrew as well, not just Tom. We all feel relieved now after 20 years
This was the most Spider-Man thing I've ever seen. It was pure, unfiltered, distilled Spider-Man. It was a love letter to the comics and movies and at the same time built on all three Spider-Men. It wasn't just looking back and going 'remember this?' it actually developed all three of them. They made Green Goblin the arch nemesis. I was so surprised how he wasn't just a token character, he was the main villain. They had a reason for the other Spider-Men too, in that they acted like elder brothers to Tom. It had jokes, it had drama, it had great fights. Green Goblin and Spider-Man having a superpowered wrestling match? Holy shit that was good. It was a joy. A complete joy.
Right? I was scared that Doc Oc was just gonna show up, be detained, and that'd be it. Heck, when he was "defeated" so early on in the movie, it made me nervous, but seeing him reformed and *human* again, fighting for the good guys? That was even better. Doc Oc was always my favorite person behind all the villains we've had.
@@Cometstarlight I could talk all day about how well they treated Doc Ock. It was perfect. It FELT like the exact same character, and the pay off of finally seeing him redeemed, was super emotional and earned. Seeing him finally reunite with Peter after all these years, and both of them being so happy to see each other, there was a heavy mix of elation and heartbreaking tragedy. Those two should have been lifelong friends forever had it not been for the accident, and once again it was a joy to revisit one of the greatest comic book movies ever made.
I just thought it would be a huge mess with all the characters like spiderman 3 was
Idk how but they pulled it off fantastically
I cant thank Kevin enough for bringing back Andrew Garfield - what he brings to the table as Spider-man is just amazing and he is easily my favorite of them three and I hope they get to make a 3rd film with him
Apparently he approached Sony saying he would love to make another so im keeping my hopes up
@@donaldtrump6725 I hope he and Sony vemon come together
same brother same.
Tobey coming back was all I ever wanted. Andrew honestly made me change the way I thought of his as spiderman. And Tom actually felt like Spiderman in this movie 🤘
The ending where Peter Parker is on his own in a cheap apartment kind of take us to the vibe from the very beginning of Maguire's Spiderman....
The brief reunion between Tobey's Peter and Otto hit me right in the feels.... SUCH a beautiful moment!
“You’re all grown up. How are you?” with that proud smile I don’t know why but I teared up
The orginal music made that scene.
Brief yet so heartwarming, i cried
Same brother! never thought I'd see them again in the silver screen together as spidey and doc ock
I just realized something no one is talking about. Just like Andrew Garfield got to redeem himself from letting Gwen die by saving MJ, Toby got to redeem himself by saving green goblin from being killed with the same weapon that he died with in their universe.
Tom’s Peter: “I don’t wanna brag, but I was in the Avengers.”
Tobey’s Peter: “That’s awesome! What is that?”
Andrew’s Peter: “Is that like a band?”
I'll do you one better, why is the Avengers?
Its also a reference that Spider Gwen is in a band I just realized that.
@@izzad777 nah I think it's the reference from Bruce Banners MCU and ask about Avengers break up like a band
@@hungjaketranquang4365 or not every little tiny thing is a reference
That was also cool
they missed a huge opportunity to bring in Miles Morales, even just a cameo wave or something when good old Ned is opening the portals, that would have been ultimate. They all came to play I loved seeing all three interact with each other and bonding
Tobey keeping Tom from stabbing Green Goblin was such an emotional moment. He said “this isn’t who you are” with just his eyes. I loved that moment.
It mirrors how he was holding the Goblin's trident.
Knowing what he went through when TASM was cancelled, I sort'a understood where his performance in No Way Home is coming from. You can really feel the pain he projects and that it's coming from a real place which translated very well in what his character went through in TASM. He also brought back the little things he brings to Peter Parker's character that made it his own version that nobody can replicate. Not sure how accurate that portrayal is with the comics version, but I felt that he really put in the work to make that unique version that you can easily recognize when he's playing the character. To me, he's the best friendly neighborhood spidey amongst the three, and his Peter Parker will always be remarkable to me so I really hope we get another TASM movie.
You just don't know how much that meant to me, to see him back. I felt bad for him because he was really amazing. I prayed for the day he would return and when I saw him take his mask off for the first time. I didn't scream, cheer, or clap. I was literally petrified and my heart sank and my body got hot and I was panting. I couldn't believe it was real!
I was holding back tears a lot in the third act and when Andrew Garfield saved MJ I couldn't hold back anymore. Beautiful scene.
I was wrecked when I saw that.
After aunt May's death, I was a wreck. I kept crying throughout the whole 3rd act from all the nostalgia.
@@AnalogFoundry I wasn't affected by May's death as much. I was mainly annoyed at Peter for trying to cure cold-blooded killers when a literal sorcerer was telling him it was a terrible idea.
finally watched it. managed to miss all spoilers this entire time. absolutely amazing film. definitely up there with top marvel movies. andrew garfield was incredible
The best part/scene in the whole movie (In my opinion) is the apartment scene. Starting from when Otto says to Green Goblin “How does it feel Norman, you’re about to become whole again.” And than the chilling eerie music that starts playing when Electro and Sandman are talking. The spider sense scene and Green goblins speech and their fight through the apartment.
EPIC scene
My moment of “what am I seeing right now” was when Andrew helped Tobey with his back. It was so, so surreal and beautiful. It was wonderful. Absolutely magical cinema. Cannot wait to watch this again a million times.
All the films are canon now. All of them. Time to adjust the Marvel Blu Ray shelf.
I get what you mean. When Toby said “nothing.. my baack” I just started laughing because it brought me back to his scene in spider man 2 ofc when he fell off the building trying to become spider man again 😂 it was surreal for sure..
This movie was basically a tidal wave of both feels and nostalgia for me, and is overall an *amazing* time. The only missed opportunity I felt it had was not having a certain someone address J. Jonah Jameson or not even having them interact at all, but it’s basically the nittiest of nitpicks.
Who is that certain someone you're referring to?
@@themascotwizard5267 prolly Tobey’s Spider-Man but idk what this guy is trying to say…
@@Cobra_156 They have interesting history, but I think the guy doesnt realize its not Tobey's Jonah.
Exactly, if all nostalgia movies were done like this, I won't have a problem with any of them at all. *ahem* Rise of Skywalker *ahem*
@@titocristobal5573 No Way Home and Cobra Kai are good examples of how to do nostalgia right
Charlie coming back as daredevil was honestly my favorite tie in, no one can replace him.
I honestly think Andrew Garfield turned in an amazing performance here. One of my favorite things from him is how he would subtly show elements of his Peter Parker in the background. E.g. having a discussed face when talking about Tobie's webs, or when he's dashing around the lab he would almost run into people/things in his aloofness.
That heartfelt exchange between Doc Oc and Tobeys Spiderman was a low key favorite moment of mine. Two friends out of time with nothing but respect for each other. Unpopular opinion but I feel Doc Oc is like a father figure to Tobeys Spiderman 💁♂️
Alfred Molina was my favorite thing about the movie. His Otto is such a good, kindhearted man who we got to see in those early scenes in Spider-Man 2. It was awesome getting to see him become that man again, and show is respect for his version Parker. Spider-Man 2 is still my favorite Spidey movie, and No Way Home got to tie things up in a great way.
Kind of a missed opportunity for Doc to say “Brilliant but lazy” to Peter but still a good scene.
One thing I really loved was that Tobey and Andrew felt like Tom's older brothers, and I think that was intentional. The dynamic between the three had a real family feel to it, and that was wonderful to see. Dafoe as Green Goblin was an incredible performance, and I'm actually sad he was zapped back into his own Universe.
Im 36 years old and seeing Tobey showing up in this movie gave me goosebumps and brought me back to my teen days and felt young again!! Thank you MCU for getting my inner youth out! My wife laughed at me at the movies because I acted like a child on the Tobey scene lol
