Spiderman No way Home

 While i did miss a couple of MCU movies so far (the Infinity War and Endgame for example), I sat down with Noshi to watch the newest Spiderman movie.



Because, Spiderman...

The story starts with the fallout of Peter Parker being revealed by Mysterio at the end of Far From Home (which, alledgedly, I still need to watch as well) and how it impacts his personal life as well as that of those close around him.  In desperation, he seeks the help of Dr Strange, but a spell to make the world forget his identity goes awry and causes a crack in the multiverse.

This means that we get some villains from the older Spiderman movies appear in the MCU: Doc Ock, Electro, The Lizard, Sandman and Green Goblin, all the roles picked up by their original actors.  Peter wants to help Strange sending them back home, but he learns that they where transported here moments before their deaths.  He decides he wants to help them by curing their evilness, and send them back to have a new chance at life.



This goes against Strange's wish, and he traps Strange by using a spell against himself while trying to beat the others.  But this results in the dead of Aunt May (the Uncle Ben variant of the MCU, as she utters the famous line 'with great power comes great responsibility' as she passes away) during the betrayal of the villains.  They don't want to go home, as this is a brand new world full of opportunities.

As his friends Ned and MJ try to gather help, it turns out Ned can open portals as well, and help arrives from unexpected corners: the previous two movie series Spidermen, Tobey Maguire (still the best) and Andrew Garfield.  Together the three Spidey's start working on cures for the villains and lure them to the Statue of Liberty to capture them.



As they are about to defeat all of them, with the help of the redeeming Doc Ock, Strange arrives.  But the Green Goblin shatters his binding artifact, causing rifts in the Multiverse.  The only way to stop it is by Peter (the MCU version) making the decision that everyone, including his friends and allies, should forget his identity and he can become Your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman and Peter Parker as two seperate identities, like the other two before him...

A really good film, boosted by the tongue in cheeck humour typically of Spiderman... times three.  I kind of like where this MCU phase 4 is going to, so now I might be catching up on the Disney+ series and missed movies this year after all...
