Spider-Man: No Way Home

Hadn't seen this one yet and was itching for something kind of fun/mindless while doing a puzzle. The movie definitely gets most of the nostalgia hits right, seeing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield do their thing was a ton of fun. "Hello Peter" by Doctor Octopus was fantastic. Willem Dafoe was in vintage form. The plot was kind of a mess and had holes all over the place, and the whole Holland/Zendaya/fat Hawaiian dynamic leans way too into the whole MCU dumbshit humour, but the movie was a fun spectacle. When Andrew Garfield's Spiderman saves MJ from that fall near the end that was a nice touch.

I guess it's fair to compare it to a movie like Across the Spiderverse. Overall the multiverse "stuff" wasn't as wacky as the Spiderverse movies but you can kind of get away with a lot more in an animated film vs live action so I get it. Across the Spiderverse was a much better movie but I had a lot of fun watching this one. Spiderverse had a great soundtrack. I should re-watch that one, it was great. But I loved seeing old wisened Tobey Maguire Spiderman complain about his back pain.

8/10 I guess (idk I hate numbers). It wasn't a perfect movie by any means and relied far too much on "'member dese guys?" but it was a lot of fun so I give it a pass on that
