Not what I was going for but hilarious nonetheless lol. I'm on the fence about going to see this and am curious why people think what they think. No harm intended.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
- Thread starter Gimpdiggity
- Start date
That's hard to answer without giving away spoilers.

I'll attempt it.
The action is amazing, per usual. The mirror world sequence is a real stand out as well.
Each of the villains gets an arc. Not necessarily an Homeric epic of an arc, but it's there. Bring your nostalgia for the old spider franchises.
Holland and Zendaya really nail awkward teenage romance, and Holland is getting really good at looking like he's carrying the burden that Spider-Man gives himself.
It's long, especially for a spider movie, but it really zips along. There's just a lot of it. That might be my only complaint, honestly.

Exactly why I wouldn't post anything.
Less is more.

It can be done. We've all read good reviews of films, shows or even books without spoilers. I get that it can it be difficult though. Thank you for the responses.

Yes
I saw this last night, wanted to see it in a packed house because I always regretted not seeing End Game like that. When Andrew and Toby came in, gave me goosebumps. My favorite part was seeing Charlie Cox as his lawyer. but I so wanted to see him again as DareDevil and to join the fight. Seeing Willem Defoe again was awesome, he did a great job. So didn't Alfred Molina. The whole thing was fun, and seeing 3 spidey's swinging together, just awesome.
he wore it inside-out

Spoiler question on mid-credits scene:
I haven't seen Venom 2 yet, so maybe I am missing some context, but why would Strange's spell have pulled in Eddie Brock from his universe, which, to my understanding, doesn't have a Spider-Man?
Did I miss something, or were we supposed to connect the dots that Spider-Man would eventually appear in Eddie's universe, and future-Eddie would learn at some point that that Spider-Man is Peter Parker?

Just got back from seeing it. Absolutely loved it! It has everything you've come to expect from a Marvel movie: great action, humor, and heart. Some really beautiful moments along side the scenes that got people really cheering. I think this may have just knocked Endgame into the #2 spot in my list of favorite Marvel movies.

It seems to be a minor contrivance that doesn't make sense as things are explained in the film.
I think the best comment I've seen about this was that, we've watched these three movies, refreshed that we didn't have to sit through another Spider-Man origin story, without realizing we were WATCHING his origin story
I'll try to be vague, but if any of the billions in the hive mind knew the secret, then any or all of them could've been pulled through.

Someone was kind enough to PM me and point out that the end of "Venom 2" did indeed set this up.

I really liked this one a lot. I think it's the best SM movie since Raimi's SM2.
I tried to avoid all trailers, news articles, rumors, etc., so some things came as big surprises to me:
Again, really liked this one. Definitely the best Holland film.
I tried to avoid all trailers, news articles, rumors, etc., so some things came as big surprises to me:
1.) The Matt Murdock cameo. Caught me flat-footed, and I loved it. So happy they folded Charlie Cox into the MCU, and can only hope this isn't a "one-and-done".
2.) It was hard not to hear about Doc Ock, GG and Electro, but I had no idea they were also bringing back The Lizard and The Sandman, much less getting Rhys Ifans and Thomas Haden Church to reprise their roles.
3.) Despite all of Garfield's denials (lies), I was expecting him to re-appear, but I didn't know about Maguire. Another great surprise.
This movie also reminded me of how much I liked Garfield in the role. I really enjoyed the little meta moment when he was talking about how he wasn't anything special compared to Maguire and Holland's Peter Parkers (reflecting how the Garfield films are usually ranked below the first two Maguire films and the Holland films), and Maguire giving him the little pep talk. And then Garfield gives the same pep talk to Max about not being a "nobody."
Finally, the moment that probably gave me the most feels out of the whole film - when Garfield saved MJ in pretty much the exact same scenario he failed to save Gwen, and how he was on the brink of bursting into tears when he asked MJ if she was OK. A surprisingly powerful moment.

WOW- I said the exact same thing as your last sentence (except I said endgame and winter soldier-) to my youngest son at the credit drop. He agreed. I don’t think my mind will change on subsequent viewings .
