Spider-Man: No Way Home is a fun-filled entertainer with an incredible plot. The film starts with a bang and then sadly, drops. Thankfully, the film rises once Peter Parker collaborates with Doctor Strange to ‘undo’ the blunders. However, the best is reserved when the three Spider-Man’s come together. This part is unique and the dialogues and the situations are sure to give you your money’s worth and satisfy the fan in you. The film suffers majorly due to overload of expectations. I did the mistake, like millions others, of expecting it to be another Avengers: Endgame, and this is not that kind of a classic film. A few developments are also difficult to digest. Speaking of performances, Tom Holland is more serious this time but still as lovable. Zendaya is terrific as expected but one wishes she had more to do. Benedict Cumberbatch rocks in his part. Jacob Batalon is likeable and raises laughs. Jon Favreau and Marisa Tomei lend able support. J K Simmons has an important part and is great in an Arnab Goswami-type of a role. Alfred Molina takes the cake among all the villains (I am not mentioning others as I have not seen the film’s trailers and hence don’t know, how many of them have been unveiled so far). And finally, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are like the icing on the cake. All in all, Spider-Man: No Way Home is a treat for the fans!
My rating – **** out of 5!
