10 out of 10, It lives up to the Marvel standard which is lofty and cements
Spiderman’s legacy in the Marvel Universe. It will also go down in movie
history as the crossover event to end all crossovers. While the movie is
excellent in its own right, with a tremendous amount of heart, the crossovers
from prior versions of Spiderman were incredibly funny and in a couple of
situations, painfully poignant. It will be hard to describe without revealing
too many details but if you’ve seen the prior incarnations of Spiderman than
you have to see this, just for a well made walk to memory lane. Tom Holland can
be a bit annoying but it’s hard to not fall under his spell as a truly young
Spiderman. He’s faced with his secret identity being outed by the last movie’s
villain and that leads to some very funny moments. He teams up with Dr Strange,
who predictably steals every scene he’s forced to deal with the teenagers in.
Speaking of scene stealing, Zendaya is pitch perfect as MJ teaming up with
Peter and Ned to thwart a veritable legion of reincarnated bad guys. There are
some tough moments and it will be interesting to see where Marvel takes this
character next but if this is Holland’s last turn, at least he went out on top.
One of my favorite movies of the year.
MVP:
Holland/Gafield/Maguire as three versions of Spidey, best cross over event ever
