Our opinion:
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a well-paced action movie with some great surprises in store for fans of the web-slinger!
We find our superhero just after he has been exposed by Mysterio, who has revealed his true identity to the whole world. Aware that this revelation has enormous consequences for those around him, particularly MJ, Ned, and Aunt May, the young hero turns to Doctor Strange to cast a spell of mental manipulation so that people will forget that Spider-Man is Peter Parker.
But Peter Parker being Peter Parker—we've seen him bombard Tony Stark with disjointed words in moments that require the most concentration—the spell obviously doesn't go as planned! Several people who know Peter Parker's secret identity flock from different multiverses with one idea in mind: to do battle with the web-slinger!
It comes as no surprise (since we see him in the trailer) that Otto Octavius, aka Octopus, is among them, but Sony has plenty of other nods and cameos in store for its fans! In short, there's something to delight even the most nostalgic among us!
For nearly two and a half hours, Peter and his friends defy the laws of physics as they swing through the air from web to web and face off against various enemies in epic battles! The film features the humor typical of superhero movies, and those with a soft heart may even shed a tear (or two).
Like others before him, Peter Parker will learn the hard way that with great power comes great responsibility!
We won't spoil the ending, but we would like to remind you that a superhero movie should be watched until the very end!
