“Spider-Man: No Way Home” Review Round-Up: Most Thrilling Marvel Film Since “Avengers: Endgame”

December 14, 2021

By The Credits

If you’re curious how the experience of seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home in the theater has been for many folks, this tweet from the editor of The Hollywood Reporter‘s Heatvision blog sums it up nicely. For a film that has broken records for advance ticket sales, it makes sense that the experience in the theater has been likened to the film that set that record to begin with. Multiple critics have compared the emotional experience of watching No Way Home in the theater to watching Avengers: Endgame back in 2019.

#SpiderManNoWayHome: wow, tears and the loudest crowd I’ve heard since Endgame

The third installment in director Jon Watts and star Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy, No Way Home has now been seen by plenty of critics. The verdict? Watts, Holland, and the talented cast and crew have managed to craft a film that simultaneously understands the appeal of their vision of Spider-Man while placing him in unprecedented peril with a multitude of supervillains. That peril is due to two things. First, Spider-Man’s identity has been revealed (a first for a Spidey movie) and Peter Parker has found himself public enemy number one. Second, in an attempt to correct that, Peter enlists his pal Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to cast a spell to erase people’s memories, but instead, it unleashes a multiverse of villains from previous Spider-Man generations, including Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), and Electro (Jamie Foxx).

So, without further ado, let’s have a glimpse at those non-spoiler reviews. Spider-Man: No Way Home swings into theaters on December 17.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is probably the best time I’ve had in a theater since Endgame. Tom Holland just owns the thing and even though it’s absolutely insane at times, it’s SUCH a #Spidey movie. https://t.co/a34M6yFFdM

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best Marvel movie of all time. #SpiderManNoWayHome perfectly pays tribute to the legacy of Spider-Man and finds that perfect balance of humor, action, heart, and nostalgia.

I can confidently say #SpiderManNoWayHome is THE BEST live-action Spider-Man movie. A thrilling & emotional end to the “Homecoming” trilogy, but also a smart, fun & exciting tribute to 20 years of Spider-Man movies. Both hilarious & heartbreaking, I honestly loved every second. pic.twitter.com/8xpqbTNgfz

#SpiderManNoWayHome is undoubtedly the biggest, the most emotional, and possibly the best #SpiderMan movie ever. Need to sit with it and decide.

It’s hard to imagine topping this one. Like, genuinely, hard to imagine getting more than this movie gives you as a #SpiderMan fan. pic.twitter.com/lUIJE6QM7O

Spider-Man: No Way Home didn’t meet my expectations, it EXCEEDED them. This movie is worth every excruciating moment we had to wait! The visuals, the score, the heart, the story, the villains…. talk about an EPIC creation. Tears, chills, happiness… #SpiderManNoWayHome pic.twitter.com/44FcO7IrtF

The first half of #SpiderManNoWayHome is a lil messy, but that second half SOARS. In that part of the movie, the multiverse of it all FAR exceeded my expectations — fun, exhilarating, often very emotional and hugely satisfying material.

#SpiderManNoWayHome really is great. Even if you’ve been following along with every leak, there are plenty of surprises. And the biggest shock is how emotional it ends up being. A movie about owning your shit and growing as a person, spider or otherwise. pic.twitter.com/gGyP2MZA7v

#SpidermanNoWayHome sends this trilogy off on a glorious high note! The action is top-notch and the villains steal the show. It felt like a culmination of all the previous ‘Spider-Man’ films that came before it. This is the BEST Spider-Man film to date! pic.twitter.com/jIMG2aHgwd

A godsend to hungry theaters, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” lives up to the hype, in a movie that feels like a graduate-level course on the character but doesn’t require such attention to minutia in order to enjoy the ride https://t.co/XRIkzZdlWD
