Movie review: 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' is a marvel

By Janell Williams | Features editor

“Spider-Man: No Way Home.” It is filled with riveting special effects and gripping emotion. My only grievance? There was no shirtless Tom Holland scene.

On a serious note, the film is a true work of art. This movie centers around the aftermath of the world finding out Spider-Man’s true identity; Peter Parker. As a result, he and Dr. Strange attempt a spell to undo this catastrophe. However, in doing so, they unleash every villain, and some heroes, from the multiverse. The audience is taken on an epic journey with the two of them as they work to fix their cosmic boo-boo.

“I originally just came because my boyfriend wanted to see this show, but it was actually really good. I’d watch it again,” said one moviegoer.

Marvel dropped in some familiar faces with this production, such as Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Willem Dafoe, and Jamie Foxx, just to name a few. This iconic cast, in addition to its more recent stars, make for a legendary tale with a rather hefty cliffhanger ending. Hopefully, another installment of the series is in the works.

“I’ve seen all of the movies. This one left me with some questions, but maybe I’ll get answers in the next one,” said a fellow moviegoer and Marvel connoisseur.

If you are contemplating going to see this movie, do it. However, if you have not seen any of the preceding films in the series, it may be beneficial to watch them, or at least watch “Spider-Man: Far From Home” to understand the full background of the film.

This movie will fill you with a mixture of emotions with its inclusion of excitement, sadness and affirming words. Overall, this film was a real marvel indeed. See what I did there?
