Spider-Man No Way Home

3D Movie Review

Written By: Jacob “ New Jake” Scarberry

3D

I had high expectations for the 3D aspect of Spider-Man No Way Home. Sadly, this movie didn't deliver the marvelous 3D that I was hoping for. While filled to the brim with depth, there are some missed opportunities for the 3D to really pop out. I believe that the way the film was lit and shot contributed to the less than spectacular 3D. Several scenes are shot indoors with handheld cameras and those confined scenes really muted the 3D. Along with a more subdued color palette the 3D in this movie just pales in comparison to the 3D in previous Spider-Man films in the series. That being said, when there are pop-outs, they do wow the audience fully. Spider-Man No Way Home should of had more of those awesome pop out 3D moments. The 3D highlights include: the Dr. Strange/Spider-Man mirror dimension battle, an action scene in a condo, the highway battle, and finally the terrific credits sequence with the hand drawn art style. Overall I can recommend the 3D aspect of Spider-Man No Way Home, but I just wish that it was stronger.

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Movie

Editor's Note:

As of this writing, I have yet to watch the following Disney Plus TV shows: Loki, What If ?, and Hawkeye. I just thought that people should know this before I go into this spoiler free review of Spider-Man No Way Home.

Spider-Man No Way Home literally picks up from the end of the previous film (Far From Home). The film starts with Spider-Man's secret identity being outed by J. Jonah Jameson via a recorded video from Mysterio. Peter Parker's life has become even more complicated now that everyone knows that he is Spider-Man. Peter Parker is hounded by everyone. Peter Parker just wants his life to go back to how it was before that damning video. Peter visits Doctor Strange as a last resort to fix everything. Dr. Strange uses his power and some ancient runes, to cast a spell, to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the spell is unstable, and trouble brews for Spider-Man when Dr. Otto Octavius has arrives from another universe, confused as to why the Peter Parker isn't the Peter Parker that he knows. More trouble brews when more and more villains from other universes arrive, and they are all ready to get revenge on Spider-Man. Now Spider-Man must use his unique skill set, along with the help of Dr. Strange, MJ and Ned, to set things right and save the world as he knows it.

Expectations were high for Spider-Man No Way Home after the fairly shocking ending of Far From Home. The hype for this movie skyrocketed after hundreds of millions viewed the first trailer for this movie, and they were shocked with the introduction of the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the consequences that would ensue. The possibilities were truly endless. Could the expectations ever truly be met, or are the goals too lofty for this film to be realistically met? I am happy to state that Spider-Man No Way Home delivers. I am truly at a fever pitch of fan excitement of what will happen next in the Marvel cinematic universe. The cast of No Way Home is truly fantastic. Holland is exceeding his performances of the previous Home films, giving us a darker and deeper Peter Parker than we ever had gotten before. Zendaya also shines as MJ, also keeping the same wit and sarcasm as before, but also layered with anxieties of her world falling apart. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock hasn't skipped a beat, nor has Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn. Even the "lesser" villains from other Spider-Man films are given their dues and deliver some good work. Jon Watts also directs this film with a deft hand, capable of mixing up the heroics of Spider-Man, along with the humor within this trilogy and the dramatic heft. While not as stylish as Sam Raimi's takes, or as serious and dark as Webb's films were, Watts makes the trilogy his own, giving us the best Spidey live-action movies, ever. The screenplay is also unafraid with it's ideas and themes, and it goes to some dark and interesting places. It's unfortunate that several characters are given the short end of the stick. While the film clocks in at 148 minutes, I wish the film was even longer to accommodate the other villains and help the film flesh out other story beats. I hope there is gonna be an extended cut of this movie on Blu-Ray, or some deleted scenes to give us a more complete version of this story. Everything else, with the fantastic CGI (That de-aging is on point!), quality score by Michael Giacchino, great sets and costumes and some terrific sound design, make this world feel more alive and it screams "big budget blockbuster". The Marvel Cinematic Universe has another great Spider-Man film in No Way Home .

Overall, Spider-Man No Way Home met and at points exceeded my high expectations. This is a fun and emotional journey that delivered on what it promised, and while it isn't the best Spider-Man film in my opinion (Into the SpiderVerse is truly outstanding, and Homecoming is just a joyous great time), this will be a legendary film in the grand scheme of comic book cinema, and it will be talked about for years to come.

Final Verdict: 8/10

Spider-Man Far From Home 3D Movie Review

Written By: Jake Jarvis

3D

Spider-Man Far From Home has some crazy good 3D visuals. The many Mysterio and Elemental action scenes are very memorable to see in 3D. Both 3D pop and 3D depth look fantastic in this movie. One specific awesome pop out scene is when Aunt May throws something to Peter Parker. Several audience members actually ducked in the theater while watching this scene. This scene isn’t gimmicky but is a funny scene that is made better by the 3D. The many European locations look incredible and the scenery alone is used to excellent effect to enhance the 3D. The extra money spent on 3D is well worth it just for the sight seeing. All the enjoyable action scenes make the 3D really worthwhile. After 11 years and 20+ movies the Marvel cinematic universe has yet another 3D winner on its hands.

Final Verdict: Great 3D

Movie

Spider-man: Far From Home, is the 2nd Sony/Marvel Spidey live-action movie. To put it simply this is a spectacular Spider-Man film. This amazing film functions as a sequel to Spider-Man Homecoming, an epilogue to Avengers Infinity War / Avengers Endgame and it also works to push the Marvel cinematic universe forward.

Spider-Man Far From Home begins shortly after the events of Avengers Endgame. The movie knows how to keep its story easygoing instead of stopping dead in its tracks when it explains the fallout of the Thanos snap a.k.a. "The Blip". This is more of a summer romance film with a heroics subplot than a full on superhero action movie. This film really felt like a Stan Lee/John Romita Sr Amazing Spider-Man story with a European twist. The humor works well and the action is well choreographed to make for a fun adventure. Like Jon Watts' first Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man Homecoming there are dozens of easter eggs to keep eagle-eyed fans happy. Pay special attention to license plates for nods to classic Spider-man stories and character debuts. The film has many surprises, including the return of a key character from the first Iron Man movie. Plus there are two post credit scenes that will likely leave you slack jawed. Tom Holland continues to impress as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Zendaya truly makes MJ a real flesh and blood character, not just a trophy girlfriend. Peter Parker and MJ have wonderful chemistry on screen and their relationship makes perfect sense. Everyone gets a few moments to shine and to build their characters. Remy Hill as the new kid is very fun to watch. Brad Davis takes on some of the Flash Thompson "villian" role and creates some of the funniest moments in the film. Jake Gyllenhaal as Quintin Beck/Mysterio really sells the character. Even knowing Mysterio's comic book backstory, Gyllenhaal still had me guessing Mysterio's true intentions. Mysterio is a fantastic character and I really enjoyed watching him in this movie. The only issue I had with this movie can be with the pacing. Sometimes the movie can dramatically slow down when they have exposition scenes. It is only a minor inconvenience and often it can help the viewer catch their breath after the various action scenes. Obviously your mileage will vary but it’s hard to deny the pacing can off putting at times. Overall the movie works quite well and is very enjoyable from beginning to end.

Spider-Man Far From Home is one very fun and satisfying summer blockbuster.

Final Verdict: 9/10
