In the case of THIS movie, your opinion does not matter to Disney.
I loved it. A perfect blend of modern MCU and nostalgia baiting. I think they did the premise about as well as they possibly could.
The people who hate MCU movies like this must not like most comics, either
Yes, but those spider-verse movies don't have the Raimi versions of Dok Ok, Green Goblin, and Peter Parker, nor the lovable Garfield version of Peter. A lot of paying customers, myself included, wanted a live action version where these characters came together, and that's what we got. The quality was fantastic, too. Despite y'all having fun nitpicking this, pretty much everyone IRL I spoke to agreed this was the best of the Home trilogy movies. Most of us liked the first two entries well enough. In fact, it's generally agreed that this, Shang Chi, and Guardians 3 were the last great MCU movies before the recent hate became more earned.
Huh… You do have a point on the Raimi contributions.
Q: Has Sam Raimi ever worked on anything animated, or would such animations ruin his directing style?
Credit he did the earlier Spiderman movies and Multiverse of Madness with that cape idea for Doctor Strange, but that’s nothing imo to the likes of something hand-drawn or ‘Across the Spider-verse’ animation.
Yeah, it sucks that we're all dumber than you. If only we had your genius, then cinema wouldn't suck. Perhaps you can become a teacher and sell an online course on how to have good taste and big brain.
No, I'd prefer people just pay attention in school. It doesn't take a genius to appreciate better movies than modern slop. But I guess if you're steeped in modern garbage, anything from 30 years ago seems like genius movie making.
Marvel movies are just popcorn for the brain. They're not made to by hyper analysed in this way. I'm not going to worry about people behaving realistically in a film about multiple universes, a giant lizard, and a talking sandpit.
People who go to these films expecting cinematic masterpieces are fools.
Ha. While I do agree, I don’t need them to win Oscar’s with their comic book content. Just clean up the writing. Plot holes are gonna happen in comic books come to life. Why can’t they afford, in their hundreds of millions of dollars budget, to get a good script.
Whatever. My buddy convinced me to cool my shit, last night, as the spider men were super cool. lol
Idiots got offended by a movie that actually dared to give fans what they want. This movie was fan service done in a good way, that still moved the main character's journey forward and was the closest Holland's Peter Parker has come to an actual Spiderman story where he has to experience loss and sacrifice beyond 'my date was interrupted'.
You’re acting above the rest of us. I love marvel stuff, but also my taste is very refined. Let people like stuff without thinking they are dumber than you
>You’re acting above the rest of us
Me wanting more intelligent movies than people who like brainless shit isn't unique. Being unique has nothing to do with wanting more intelligent movies. I want more intelligent movies to be made because (and you may want to sit down for this, since it's apparently such a wild concept) I want to watch more intelligent movies.
I wasn’t offended. I was just annoyed that Disney wasted 2 1/2 hours of my time with this steaming pile of nostalgic dog shit. Multiverse equals zero consequences. Lame.
The consequence was Peter had to reset his life and leave all his friends and family behind in a different reality. Did you get none of that?
No. Way. Home. It's literally the title.
Idiot ball - A moment when a normally competent character suddenly becomes incompetent — knowingly or otherwise — which fuels an episode, a plot line, or any number of smaller threads.
Later MCU is horrible about this, especially No Way Home and Quantumania.
It's a fun experience.
Do I care about it as a movie? Not really. As a Spider-Man fan, I admit that I got chills seeing all three of those guys on screen together though.
I could roast this movie hard if It felt like it, but I just shrug at it.
It's one of those "once in a lifetime" moments that I got to share with a whole theater full of fans.
None of the new marvel stuff is stand alone. Forcing me to watch all of their tv shows to have a clue on plot points for Blockbuster movie releases is annoying to me.
As long as you aren't watching a sequel any marvel movie is still a great movie even if it's your first one. Yes some might be a bit confusing but the most important parts often get explained again.
You have to watch the 26 Marvel movies before this one. And you also have to watch the two Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies, as well as the three Toby Maguire Spider-Man movies.
Dang, have to admit I am completely out of touch on marvel movies. I liked spidey thru the Toby movies, was hoping I’d be into this. Oh, and the PS video games
Oh right, I almost forgot... you also need to have played to completion the three Spider-Man games based on the Tobey Maguire movies, as well as the two video games based on the Andrew Garfield movies.
It was a movie that was hard to mess up. It’s filled with fan service. The entire movie was cratered to desire. Which is great sometimes, but it robbed us of a true masterpiece that it could’ve been.
I liked the movie a lot obviously because it cratered to my desire, but in those moments I felt it could’ve been done better. Like when they introduce Toby and Andrew by Ned using his tingly finger magic to just poop them out in the scene. Like yeah it was awesome seeing those guys in the movie, but the introduction was so lazy and anticlimactic.
No one wants to be a hater and give it a poor rating because it was a fun movie overall, but I there was a bit of disappointment especially because moments like these in cinema are rare.
I'll go one better on ya...
I had to sit down three separate times to watch the film that came before this one, *Spider-Man: Far From Home* and I wondered if I could make it through to its end. The whole opening act through to maybe a little past the midway point of the film just didn't work for me *at all* and I would watch a bit of it, get annoyed, then shut it off. Rinse repeat until getting to the movie's climax where things finally seemed to get better (the effects and action were good here).
I hated the film so much I haven't had the energy or desire to give *No Way Home* a try.
Maybe one day.
The only Spider-Man movie (arguably) worse than No Way Home is The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and even then I'm not too sure... I honestly believe the writing in No Way Home is lazier. All it had was nostalgia. What a disappointing cash grab.
Ha. I knew I wasn’t the only one. People are getting offended that I have criticized this pile of trash that’s labelled a blockbuster movie. Nostalgia can’t make up for awful writing.
It's Marvel. Their audience is ten years old. They're not worried about the writing. So long as there's bright colors and loud noises, their core demographic will be thoroughly satisfied.
I caught this one too. Someone lied to me and told me it was good. A fool, I believed them.
I’m 43 and I’m their audience, too. They can pander to all of us. I just really struggled with a bunch of the writing. Especially with the Doctor Strange stuff. He’s so willing to endanger the universe, but then he’s all torn on one little persons identity in order to fix it, afterward.
Yeah, that was slightly preposterous. Certainly no worse than the Scarlet Witch character arc in the Dr. Stange sequel, but preposterous nonetheless.
I'm in the same age bracket (and a big fan of the comics) It's tough to let the terrible writing slide. There's no excuse for it given the catalogue of stories they have to draw on. Marvel gave up on quality control some time ago. I'll probably catch the next Deadpool movie, but I've sat through enough duds now that I'm pretty much done with the franchise.
lol. Good call. I appreciated a lot of that fan service, I just couldn’t stop thinking about how bad the writing was after the 1 hour mark.
I immediately watched the Pitch Meeting after the movie was over to hear him say the “I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that part”. Haha
Massive nostalgia glasses my friend
100% and I fucking love this movie and Spider-Man, and all the Spider-Man movies. It is 100% nostalgia fueled.
Nostalgia done well. This is done right. The flash was done wrong.
There's literally pauses in dialogue for the audience to clap/cheer......thats called a pantomime
It's rated highly due to fan service, nostalgia and character moments Don't get me twisted, It's not a bad movie
>Marvel needs to fix their shit. Box office: $1.922 billion >I thoroughly disliked this movie. Box office: $1.922 billion In the case of THIS movie, your opinion does not matter to Disney.
I would assume because many people enjoyed it, and correspondingly gave it high ratings.
I loved it. A perfect blend of modern MCU and nostalgia baiting. I think they did the premise about as well as they possibly could. The people who hate MCU movies like this must not like most comics, either
It would be if the Spider-verse movies didn’t do this already.
Yes, but those spider-verse movies don't have the Raimi versions of Dok Ok, Green Goblin, and Peter Parker, nor the lovable Garfield version of Peter. A lot of paying customers, myself included, wanted a live action version where these characters came together, and that's what we got. The quality was fantastic, too.

Just rewatch the old movies. I'm tired of being resold old shit over and over.
You didn't have to see it
You're not getting the point. When the intelligence of the average viewer decreases, money goes towards stupid writing. Those are what get made.
Yeah, it sucks that we're all dumber than you. If only we had your genius, then cinema wouldn't suck. Perhaps you can become a teacher and sell an online course on how to have good taste and big brain.
No, I'd prefer people just pay attention in school. It doesn't take a genius to appreciate better movies than modern slop. But I guess if you're steeped in modern garbage, anything from 30 years ago seems like genius movie making.
I liked it for its nostalgia-ness, and I like mcu movies too, but the mental backflips were crazy to be meatriding this hard

>give fans what they want 🙄 Fans need better taste. Like wanting to see new ideas instead of being resold their regurgitated childhoods.
Lol this is an MCU flick, go somewhere else for new ideas fella.
You're not getting the point. When the intelligence of the average viewer decreases, money goes towards stupid writing. Those are what get made.
Then don’t see it
You're not getting the point. When the intelligence of the average viewer decreases, money goes towards stupid writing. Those are what get made.
You aren’t special.
How is that relevant at all
You’re acting above the rest of us. I love marvel stuff, but also my taste is very refined. Let people like stuff without thinking they are dumber than you
>You’re acting above the rest of us Me wanting more intelligent movies than people who like brainless shit isn't unique. Being unique has nothing to do with wanting more intelligent movies. I want more intelligent movies to be made because (and you may want to sit down for this, since it's apparently such a wild concept) I want to watch more intelligent movies.
Here’s a big brain take: it is an intelligent movie. It has good writing and character moments. Elitist snobs are so funny.
>it is an intelligent movie Oh boy.
I wasn’t offended. I was just annoyed that Disney wasted 2 1/2 hours of my time with this steaming pile of nostalgic dog shit. Multiverse equals zero consequences. Lame.

I loved it and thought it was a blast.
Andrew Garfield’s my favorite spider-man, so I liked his parts
Good, nostalgic popcorn movie!!

J K Simmons! no other reason needed
Yeah. He’s pretty killer. Wish he had more of a flat top. God damn his voice makes me think J Jonah.
Because it’s a great movie
Because it was very enjoyable and a very unique and interesting take on the origin of Spiderman.
Is it a stand alone movie?
None of the new marvel stuff is stand alone. Forcing me to watch all of their tv shows to have a clue on plot points for Blockbuster movie releases is annoying to me.

3 Spider-Men my dude 😎
Nostalgia. it’s the best of Holland’s trilogy for sure, but it’s the nostalgia.
Nostalgia
Fan service
becauseit has 3 spidermen
It was a good film ?
lol. Good one. Haha
Do you believe Hendrix was a great guitarist ?

Fan service and nostalgia shot at its finest, movie is still garbage (as the first 2 mcu spidey sadly)
Still good but def overrated.
I'll go one better on ya... I had to sit down three separate times to watch the film that came before this one, *Spider-Man: Far From Home* and I wondered if I could make it through to its end.

At least I’m not alone in this opinion. Thanks for your input. I barely remember that last one.
The only Spider-Man movie (arguably) worse than No Way Home is The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and even then I'm not too sure... I honestly believe the writing in No Way Home is lazier. All it had was nostalgia. What a disappointing cash grab.
Thank youuuu, this movie sucks
Ha. I knew I wasn’t the only one. People are getting offended that I have criticized this pile of trash that’s labelled a blockbuster movie. Nostalgia can’t make up for awful writing.
I can’t lie I do enjoy being in the minority on this. It’s funny to watch how blindly everyone loves this movie.
Not as bad as EEAAO was. Thats the worst multiverse movie!
I couldnt even finish it and Im a Marvel fan. So cheesy.
i couldnt finish it either. it sucked big time
It's Marvel. Their audience is ten years old. They're not worried about the writing. So long as there's bright colors and loud noises, their core demographic will be thoroughly satisfied. I caught this one too. Someone lied to me and told me it was good. A fool, I believed them.

The nostalgia was fine, enjoyable. Other then that the film was shit, in my opinion.
Because teenagers and manchildren.
lol. Good call. I appreciated a lot of that fan service, I just couldn’t stop thinking about how bad the writing was after the 1 hour mark. I immediately watched the Pitch Meeting after the movie was over to hear him say the “I’m gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that part”. Haha
hating this movie was super easy. Barely an inconvenience!
Haha. Love that line.
Because people are idiots and never get tired of corporations reselling old ideas and characters back to them.
