Story by Aurora Spriggs, Co-Editor

The new Spider-Man movie No Way Home” (PG-13) was released to theaters on Dec. 17, 2021 and fans were excited to see what Marvel had put together this time. The last few Spider-Man movies have been extremely good for me to watch so I didn’t know whether I would end up liking this one or not.

The movie revolves around Peter Parker (Tom Holland) from the last 3 movies needing help from Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). Peter messed up what Doctor Strange was trying to do and instead, brought the spider-man’s from other multiverses back to his universe (the actors who had played the previous Peter Parker characters, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. The whole movie is them trying to fight off their enemies while working together to get back to their own dimensions.

When I got to the theater to see the movie I was not disappointed. The movie theater was packed with everyone excited to see the movie. You could feel all the excitement and emotion from everybody while sitting in the theater. I went with a group of friends when I went to see the movie and we all loved it. The movie was amazing, there was constant action happening and the plot would keep changing a bit to keep me entertained. It felt like anytime you thought you’d figured it out, another big thing would happen that leaves you shocked. 

I wasn’t bored with the movie no matter what happened, it always kept me intrigued and waiting to see what happened. I wasn’t the only one enjoying it, the audience for the movie were also showing their love for the movie by clapping and showing their excitement. The entire movie theater would cheer and scream whenever something big would happen, it really showed how much of the movie was surprising to many fans. 

Honestly, I feel like so much happened in the movie that I was still missing some of the information. I hadn’t seen the earlier Spider-Man movies since I was a kid, so I was a bit confused, but I was able to catch on and understand what was happening. So much would be happening that I’d focus on one point in the movie and miss something else that could have been important. 

It’s definitely a movie that you have to listen and pay attention to or you’ll miss little details that can be important. I’d watch again because it kept me thinking and kept me excited about what was gonna happen next. There was so much action and backstory packed into it. It included a lot of plot from the earlier movies and combined it with the newer ones which fans and myself loved. 

I think it was a great idea for them to combine the different movies/characters into a bigger one. This has probably been one of my favorite action/adventure movies because of how busy the whole movie is. You always have something to focus on and it seemed like there was never a boring part in the movie. 

They definitely had put a lot of thought and time into making this movie and how to combine them with the others. In the end, the result was incredible. If you haven’t watched the new Spider-Man movie yet and you like marvel and action, then I highly recommend this movie for you to watch.
