Topic	Spider-Man: No Way Home was a lot of fun, but... spoilers
Blue_Popo 12/21/21 12:31:03 AM #39:	LightningAce11 posted... It really strikes me how much this movie owes to the amazing spider man and raimi films. All the heroes and villains were developed there so this film didn't need to waste time on that at all. If this was just a big standard spider man story like the director originally pitched, it wouldn't be as acclaimed. Goblin worked well here. Dr Octopus did too I guess but wanted to see more of him being evil. Electro got the revamp he needed here, so that is fully on Watts. Lizard was nothing character, even the most distant of the Thanos henchmen had more development and better action. I still don't know why Sandman fought the spidermen and the de-sandinizer was complete bs, Peter Parkers built a device that turns a sand guy into a normal human in 2 hours (then again Tony Stark developed time travel in a night so whatever) As for action as others stated, having a night time cgi battle is always a fail. Especially when one villain is made of sand and the other is a dark green lizard. The Dr Strange vs Spiderman fight was perfect, beautiful and everything. It showed both of their contrasting personalities with Peter's compassion and Strange's calculated approach. It showed the multiple things Strange could do (mirror dimension, astral form, cape, whip thing, use of portals) and also showcased what Spidey could do (swinging, spidey sense) and what Parker can do (mathematics, outsmart a genius) while Peter delivered the goofy humor he is known for. This was an underrated sequence that does not get enough love <cite>Blue_Popo posted [p:961092676] in Spider-Man...
