The movie Spider-Man: No Way Home came out on December 17th, 2021. This movie is a part of a movie franchise called Marvel, which makes movies about superheroes such as Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, and one of their newer additions, Spider-Man. This franchise is often confused with the DC franchise, another movie franchise where they make movies about superheroes such as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. There have been 3 different Spider-Man franchises but they have all been a part of Marvel but different “Marvel Universes”. The 3 actors who played Spider-Man in those franchises are Tobey Maguire, who played Spider-Man in the first movies, then Andrew Garfield, who played Spider-Man in the 2nd series of movies, and finally Tom Holland (the most recent) who played the 3rd Spider-Man in the newest Marvel series.
This was a great movie that put the old Spider-Man characters into the newest spider man series as if a multiverse was real, like people from different universes coming together in one universe. Tom Holland, Tobey Magurie, and Andrew Garfield coming together to play their characters in one film were what made this movie really incredible. Despite Maguire and Garfield being older than the last time they played the role, they were still perfect Spider-men for this movie, and the main reason why the movie was so good. In the Andrew Garfield series of spider man movies, his girlfriend dies because he couldn't catch her from falling. In Spider-Man: No Way Home Tom Holland’s girlfriend was falling, he goes to catch her and gets swapped up by Green Goblin. But Andrew Garfield jumps down and catches Tom Holland’s girlfriend and starts to cry because he remembers his girlfriend and how he couldn’t catch her. It was a sad moment but a great scene and is the best scene of the movie. It really connected the three movies and further solidified this idea of a multiverse.
Spiderman: No Way Home has received high ratings of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and 97% of the people on google reviews. This movie is considered, by Rotten Tomatoes, to be the best movie of 2021, and people are debating whether this is the one of the best marvel movies to ever be created. In my opinion this was the best movie of the 2021 year, and by far the best movie marvel has ever made. This movie had very high expectations, and it did not disappoint. It is a great movie, right now my favorite movie I have ever seen, and as a Marvel fan I really insist on people watching it.
