Unlock the Ultimate MCU Power Ranking: Which Marvel Movie Truly Packs a Knockout Punch?
Where Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home are almost these smaller-scale (relative to some other movies in the franchise), coming-of-age teen movies, Spider-Man: No Way Home moves Tom Holland’s Peter Parker into the big leagues. Spider-Man: No Way Home is a movie with a scale and scope that matches anything else in the entire MCU, Infinity War and Endgame included. This is simply a huge movie, and while not everything totally lands, enough does that with the benefit of time you’ll remember the cool parts very, very fondly.This is the kind of movie that you’ll remember seeing in the theater for the first time. You’ll remember the audience’s reactions, and the way your stomach and heart felt when certain things happen. It carries the same charm—Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon are still great as our central trio of teens—but brings back a superhero friend (Benedict Cumberbatch) and some old villain and villain-adjacent faces (Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, Alfred Molina, Jamie Foxx) to really make this thing stick the landing. An absolute blast of a movie, and one you’ll be happy to see as soon as possible.
MCU understanding needed? You’ll definitely need to have seen the previous two MCU Spider-Man movies. There are also a few references to both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. And it’ll also help if you’re familiar with either previous Spider-Man movie franchise, and, hell, know what’s going on in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. May sound like a lot of homework, but it just makes a great movie all the more enjoyable.
