This is so true. It was easily one of the best scenes in the film.

Nobody can really answer that without knowing what you did and didn't miss the first time! I'd say just go in and enjoy the spectacle of it, without trying to look out for all the little easter eggs and nods to other movies. There's plenty time to do that when it comes out on digital/blu-ray.

I'd definitely recommend paying attention to the scene where the Multiverse is tearing apart. People have mentioned that they recognize certain figures passing through the tears, but I literally didn't see anything specific.
I enjoyed this a lot but going a few weeks after release I had seen most of the spoilers, with the exception of Aunt May.
I think the film suffers from being filmed during the lockdown, beyond the two scenes with his fellow students everything felt really insular and the sets felt quite restrictive.
Happy’s Condo, Empire State Building/Scaffolding, the schools roof. . . Coming off of Homecoming and Far From Home that really took advantage of NY and multiple European cities the film looked a little like it was all on a soundstage with a few too many repeated sets.
But that’s just nitpicking, they did an amazing job considering the restrictions in place and the apparent challenges during production.
I’m excited to see the next chapter, but I worry we’ll end up with another team up film when we really deserve a classic Spider-Man style story.

I watched this today and managed to avoid all spoilers in the lead up to it. I thought it was incredible overall. I loved every bit about it. I also wondered if Hawkeye would have made some quick cameo to align the timelines when Spider-Man was in and around the Rockerfeller centre but that’s whatever.
I hope this isn’t the last we see of Tom Holland. He’s been brilliant as Spider-Man.

I believe No Way Home is set in 2023 and Hawkeye is in 2024.
It makes sense given it was one of their more messy outings in a while.
The box office on this is insane.
It’s now overtaken Avengers and Age of Ultron, and is the third-highest grossing Marvel film (after Endgame and Infinity War), and eighth highest-grossing film of all time.
Imagine if it had a Chinese release!

I ended up noticing this too as I saw it tonight. It felt so... unpopulated, which really hampered the feeling of scale to the whole thing. Even on the highway when Doc Oc attacks, I feel like we barely saw anyone running for their lives and even that was a convenient way of having a fight in a space that seemed full of people when it was really just full of empty cars. Not to mention Electro going out into the countryside from New York City to suck electricity. I also felt there was a lot of green screen for scenes that didn't really require it. Like... were Peter and Happy even in that graveyard together at the end? The lighting looked so strange. I understand it was probably hard, but you really understand how difficult things have been in the last two years when even Marvel films are showing signs of it.
That said, I really enjoyed it. Marisa absolutely winded me with that delivery of "You okay?" as Peter looked at his hand, and I think the play between all the characters was outstanding. You can't tell me that Willem Dafoe wasn't living for the gig. Andrew Garfield's Peter also got such a loving treatment. Exploring his grief and desolation after his loss, providing him with a redemption that wasn't too on the nose, and regaining hope by seeing different versions of himself at different ages work things out. It was great.
I’d be here for Sony making The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to provide some proper closure to the character.
Have Emma Stone return as Spider-Gwen; somehow travelling to the same universe because of Strange’s spell. Or bring back Felicity Jones and have her become Black Cat because I have been waiting for a long time for her to show up on the big screen…

It's 4th for Marvel at the moment, behind Endgame, Black Panther and Infinity War. But it should go to 3rd today or tomorrow and it's now guaranteed to end up 2nd.
This should get to 6th on the worldwide all time list and will make a push for 3rd on the domestic list (Titanic is £100m ahead just now).
Absolutely crazy numbers when only 2 other movies from the US during the pandemic managed to top $700m worldwide.
I’m talking worldwide, where it’s about $200m ahead of Black Panther already. No other solo film has ever surpassed an Avengers film, let alone two of them!
Given the Rogers: The Musical feature I thought they were both set at the same time?
Silver & Black not happening is homophobic.
I don't think another movie would work, but a limited TV series wouldn't compete with Holland's movies. Make it focused on the Maggia family to make it more grounded and keep the budget low.
