Spiderman: No Way Home - Impressive VFX & Nice Score

[ergospherical]

I just got back from the cinema - really enjoyed this one! Very simple concept but well executed, with a good mix of both comedic and poignant moments (along with a hearty portion of fan-service). And, as you come to expect from Marvel, impressive VFX (especially whenever Dr Strange & the mirror dimension were involved) and a nice score. What did you think?

Spoiler: Some spoilery stuff

Thought that the three Peter's had really natural chemistry (figuratively... and literally, at one point), but it was also fun to watch all of the little exchanges between the characters who knew each other from the previous films. And Garfield being the one to catch MJ was a nice touch!

I wonder what Marvel have planned for Spiderman's next outing, with Peter now having become a nobody once more. I guess that's it for MJ (Zendaya can probably count on Dune to pay the bills for the next few years...) whilst Ned might appear as a trainee-sorcerer in the next Dr Strange film. Given the mid-credits scene, it's probably safe to say that the next villain will be MCU-ified-Venom. Daredevil (from the TV show) also made a cameo appearance early on, so might show up too!

And I don't know whether any of Doc Ock/Electro/Green Goblin/Sandman/Curt or Peter 2/Peter 3 will return, or whether this was a one-time fan-servicey thing. The ending of the film would have you believe the multiversal portals were successfully closed, but that'll probably all come undone again in the next Dr Strange film - so who knows.

It's a shame that there wasn't any pizza time, but at least the goblin was something of a scientist himself :)

Shouldn't have clicked on spoilers!

I am going to watch the movie this weekend. The only thing I am looking forward to is this scene in live action.

The post credit scene of Carnage hyped this movie quite a bit. I just hope it lives up to my expectations, although I am not to worried now after looking at your comments.

The weird thing about this movie is that the promotional material gave away a lot of the spoilery stuff and I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel was responsible for leaking various rumours, to build the hype. Certainly didn't detract from the film, though.

Probably one of my favourite MCU films to date, and far better than Homecoming & Far From Home IMO. The conclusion is bittersweet but feels true to the character.
