“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
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 😂😂
@@Bjork4s 🤣🤣 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 👨🍳💋
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
“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 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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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 😂😂
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 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
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
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”
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 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
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.
*Look at little Bill Jr. Gonna cry?*
@@ammarharith5512 Not for you though.
These comments make me cringe. Best?? Dude 7/10 at BEST and it was full of dumb plot holes. Big let down.
@@tito9694 well maybe it's not for everyone. Cheers
@@ammarharith5512 I missed the part where that's my problem
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.
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
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.
"are you going to fight looking like a older youth pastor?" Andrew had some of the best lines in this movie
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 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"
- Weird Al in "Ode to a super hero"
@@melissarodriguez5349 even though he did such a good fn job! You'd think all the actors would've half assed it but nope.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 😥
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 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.
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
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!.
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.
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....
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 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 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
Charlie coming back as daredevil was honestly my favorite tie in, no one can replace him.
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?
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
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
In regards to the editing, I noticed the same things you did and I've noticed this in a few other movies that were shot during the pandemic as well. I'm wondering if they had to shoot in a way to keep actors distanced because of Covid restrictions and they just did the best they could due to the circumstances. A producer I work with told me that productions that are shooting during the pandemic have to carry Covid insurance which is 10% of the budget and there are other costs like having to keep medical staff on set at all times. Some movies may suffer a bit creatively, but I'm glad we're at least getting new movies.
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!
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! 😭
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
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
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.
This is exactly why I love Chris' content. His analysis & feedback is so on point that you can tell he is just a master in his craft. Literally, everything he said was just about word for word my thoughts exactly, right down to the details of Daredevil cameo right down to the character development & story narrative. Keep up the amazing work man! 👌
Honestly, I was more emotional when Andrew’s Peter was reflecting his loss of Gwen than during the scene where May died. That’s just showing how good Andrew was, even he had but a minor role in this.
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
*Andrew redeems himself in this movie by giving his best performance yet*
Me: “Perhaps I treated you too harshly”
His best performance is either in Silence or Under the Silver Lake, with the runner-up being The Social Network

pss-
andrew garfield was so good. the scene where he saved mj brought so many emotions.
Idk i felt like Tobey and Andrew should’ve had more time with Tom. The movie is really good but I think they should’ve showed Tom learning from more mature Andrew and Tobey specifically. They should’ve given the movie more time and had more character development
Yh I agree although I think NWH was still great. The dynamic between Tobey andrew and tom was definitely my favorite part about the movie, I'd love to see more of them together
The longer they are with Tom the longer crime is occurring in their own universe without their help.
@@allsmilez13 darn true, you could say that once they return to their universe, they come back pretty much the same time they dissapeared. Although if u wanna get into alternate timelines and that stuff, then yk anything could happen
@@allsmilez13 idk if that’s true no where in the movie they said it worked like that
@@allsmilez13 they’d go back right to where they left off the villains would go back to but the timelines would split off into multiple universes because your present becomes your past and your past can’t be overwritten by your new future it’ll just be a separate universe
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.
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
It was really touching to see Toby’s Spider-Man seem to be ok. Like he was working on himself and you could tell, he’s older and wiser and I’m glad he got the help he needed. I was never fond of Andrews Spider-Man but his acting in this movie alone really shined. I’m glad we the fans got to see them all together. And Spider-Man’s aside wow stunning performance from the villains too! Dafoe was still terrifying!
The scene that honestly gets me the most is when they're all talking about the people they lost to help Tom's Spider-Man, and how during that Andrew in the middle of talking about losing Gwen just drops the bombshell that he eventually was so consumed by grief and pain that he stopped pulling his punches. That moment just hit me as it truly shows how hurt Andrew's Spider-Man was after the death of Gwen with just one sentence that means a lot to the fans that understand what it means
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.
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
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.
The death scene had me so emotional. The music was on point. Seeing Happy put me over the edge
I’m so glad I went into this movie without it being spoiled. I honestly didn’t expect them to do it. I thought we’d get cameo teases, maybe a scene or even a “just in time” appearance at the final battle. But no. They didn’t just give us versions of the characters played by the previous actors. They gave us the *actual* characters for almost half the movie. From the moment Willem Dafoe said the meme line, I realized this movie was all about giving us what we wanted to see, and my goodness did they do it well. They gave the Peters entire scenes to banter and have all the discussions that fans have dreamt up over the years. They even took the emotional arcs from each character’s previous films and resolved them. Garfield catching MJ-something he failed to do last time that shook him to his core-and lingering on the emotion of that moment was one of the most moving things I’ve experienced watching any of the MCU films.
It was not a perfect movie, of course, and I can think of a few flaws. But once again, the MCU has delivered something I simply haven’t experienced before, and for that, it has a place in cinema history.
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
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.
2 months later I still can’t believe all 3 Spider-Men in one movie and like in the movie, not cameos but in the movie. Interacting having convos. That shit was amazing.
Honestly, everything about this movie was nearly perfect, to me. A movie that VERY EASILY could have just have leaned on nostalgia, they managed to make every one of those relationships feel meaningful and earned. And yeah, I HATED the Andrew Garfield movies, but this movie managed to address and completely redeem the, imo. I love that they address his Peter Parker had anger issues, and the scene where he saved MJ... honestly, that short little exchange between Garfield and Zendaya was beautifully written, acted, and shot. I actually *did* tear up when Zendaya responded to him, asking "Are YOU okay?", and you just see that look on his face. And honestly, turning Aunt May into "his uncle Ben moment" was both unexpected yet strangely fitting. And since we'd experienced so much with her character, it truly made the loss feel like a LOSS, not just "part of the story".
Both me and my father were both saying that we'd actually love to see Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker make a comeback again. Neither of us liked the first two movies, but this movie allowed us to see Andrew Garfield as a "real" Peter Parker, not being "edgy" or "bitter", not dealing with a terrible script (I never liked the "Peter's parents are actually super important spies" storylines to begin with).
100% agreed. At first it looked like Garfield was simply played for laughs, and I feared he'd be a joke and nothing more. But what they did with him, yeah, it rocked.
7/10 at best.
@@tito9694 more like 9/10
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
@@falseprofit2569 I would definantly prefer a skin tight mask like in the comics. Its probably just not easy to do without looking cheesy on film.
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.
I just saw it today and thought it was VERY well done. This is coming from someone that also saw all the Maguire and Garfield movies in the theater, along with every other Marvel movie. Most of my appreciation is probably leaning on the nostalgia factor but I was an emotional mess during the last hour of this movie. It had some flaws for sure with the jumping around and me thinking "how did that work?" but bringing all the memories back made this a masterpiece for me.
I'm 40 years old and went alone since my wife doesn't like these kind of movies and my five year old isn't ready for them yet. The guy I was sitting next to was also there alone, my age, and we both had a nice conversation when it was over. Part of our discussion was similar to what Chris said in this video about being able to witness all these characters come together.
I had a similar reaction when End Game came out. I was an emotional wreck watching that as well and can only hope the way these movies build up multiple stories and come together like this will continue.
I just loved watching this film! It was just so amazing seeing all the Spider-Men from past years together fighting the villains, and seeing the villains come back, especially The Green Goblin and Doc Ock! I love what they did with Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man and giving him redemption for him not catching Gwen, that was so awesome!! This is how you do fan service correctly! Love this film!
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.
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)
Just came back from watching the movie, absolutely loved it! It just ticks all the right boxes and yes Andrew Garfield was incredible, the level of emotion in his acting was amazing, and Toby Maguire was just great! Came straight home to see your spoiler review, and agree with everything. Keep up the great content bud.
I’m a little late to the party but I absolutely love what they did with this one. I was excited throughout the entire movie. I laugh and smile all throughout but I also cried a little. So you know it was good 😊
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
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...
Great review as always. I always find myself on exactly the same page as you when it comes to film and taste. Another fantastic moment in this film is when they mash the spiderman theme together with Dr Strange's... Thought that was extremely clever.
Just got home from seeing the movie. It was phenomenal. This was my first foray back to the theater. I'd forgotten just how physically impacted I am in a theater compared to watching at home. I felt like I've done an exhaustive routine at the end:, leaning forward, gasping, feet on seat hugging my knees, etc. Good thing no one was near me!
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
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
My son and I went to see it Christmas Day. I made sure we didn’t watch any spoiler reviews and I’m so glad I did. To have Toby, Andrew n Tom in the same movie as Spider-Man was just incredible. I screamed, I mean the whole theater screamed and clapped when Andrew and Toby were revealed. This is by far my favorite movie in the trilogy as well. I’m going to see it again by my self January 4th. I can’t wait.
Andrew Garfield saving MJ was by far the best moment of the entire movie...made me cry...speaking of MJ, I really loved how they portrayed her...very supportive, very caring!
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
I liked him more than toby as spiderman . But it was a shame his movies werent good.
@@ArtofLunatik Tobey*

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 ?

🤣🤣 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 😆😆👏👏🤘🤘🤘
Andrew blew me away. Where was that guy in his movies? He was always great as Spiderman but a horrible Peter, but in this movie he felt like Peter when he needed to be Peter and not just Spider-Man out of costume. The MJ save scene was easily my favorite, chills.
And Dafoe, he stole the movie from the other villains. He was fantastic! 👏
Agreed!!
Where was he? Trapped behind bad writing and directing. He's a great actor and a true fan of Spider-man, he was never the problem with those movies.
@@airjoca Honestly I hate the "If you're a true fan" shit. Get out of here with that crutch. Have an option or argument that doesn't require you to smell your own farts. I'm not interested in being a "True fan" and your kin's "superior" opinion does not change mine.
I know Andrew is a good actor, and I'm well aware the the issue was writing and directing, I know how movies work. The point I was making was that his charcter was better written and honestly better acted then in his original movies as Peter. Sorry but it's true and judging by everyone specifically praising him in this movie while TASM was not as popular, I'm not alone in seeing the improvement/heart in the writing and acting.
@@midnightnavigator dude, I think you misread Airjoca's comment. He isn't saying that "if you're a true fan" then you shouldn't have a problem with Andrew Garfield's movies. He's just saying that Andrew Garfield was a true fan of Spiderman. That's all.
I don't know about you guys, but I just saw the movie and, I couldn't help but smile whenever they have Andrew Garfield and JAMIE fox those moments of, "no you're awesome as the rest of us, you're not losers."
I love how they actually got some LOVE in this movie
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 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
@@mitchellp7739 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.
@@mitchellp7739 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.
Well the first time I watch the movie I thought it was wonderful until I watched it a second time, but with a more critical side.
The movie has some errors and many unanswered questions, such as:
How did electro end up on the MCU if he didn't know Peter's identity.
If electro ended up on the MCU even though he didn't know Peter's identity, So why didn't the two Harry Osborne and Eddie Brock (from Tobey's SM3) come to the MCU too.
if Doctor connorcs had been cured in the first movie (amazing Spider Man ) How did it appear transformed into the MCU? Was it a version of the past that went to the MCU? Or did he try to go back to being a lizard in his universe again? And if it was a version of the past, then why didn't the same thing happen to Gwen?
the Doctor Strange spell also erase the videos from computers, cell phones and the internet that revealed Peter's identity? He also destroyed the flash book ? If yes then he also deleted any and all documents from the government database, like their identity, birth certificate etc from Peter?
And the final and most important question :
If Peter is so smart, THEN WHY he DIDN'T ASK THE DOCTOR STRANGE TO MAKE EVERYONE FORGET WHAT MYSTERIO SAID?
I really liked this movie, but with these mistakes, it felt like pity was made to take money from fans through nostalgia
Garfield catching MJ and for a moment I thought he'd actually break down in tears was the highlight moment of this movie for me, I felt a massive surge of emotion just washing over, extremely powerful moment performed so well, made me forget i'm seeing an actor on screen.
Seeing all the Spider-Men (especially Tobey) just felt so cathartic to me. It's like a book series with characters you know and love, only to have the series cancelled before its time. Then nearly 20 years after the whole thing began, they take an already great series, put your favorite characters back in, give them a continuation and finality to their arcs and wrap it up in a satisfying way. I was floored. Absolutely floored. It was everything I wished for and more. Easily the best movie going experience I've had since Endgame.
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.
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.
I don't like the ending because it make far from home obsolete and inconsequential. Yes the aunt die but at the 2nd movie the consequences is his identity reveal, he get the girl. The 3rd movie basically undo all of it everyone forgot about his secret identity and by proxy loose the girl. This make the 2nd movie non-consequences.
I was in the theatre watching the third act and there were kids there like 15-16 that really could not feel how i felt watching all three of them and the old villains in one movie. I was crying throughout the third act. It was so beautiful and touching and funny and everything I've ever dreamed of. And yes you can tell at some points that covid restrictions held back some things but I'm glad with what we got. It truly felt like a spiderman movie and I'm so excited for what's to come after this.
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
