As the closer feature film for Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in 2021, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” provides the audience the best adventure with the popular avenger “Spider-Man” as its franchise’s third episode, which was released on Dec 17.

With Spidey’s identity now revealed following the events of “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” Peter Parker (Tom Holland) asks Doctor Strange for help. When a spell goes wrong, dangerous adversaries from other universes start to appear, forcing Peter to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man. With Doctor Strange’s help, “Spider-Man: Far from Home” became an adventurous, fantasy action, giving moviegoers a brand-new experience watching a Marvel film.

For a long time, there almost can’t be any cameo or crossover in “Spider-Man” series due to copyright issues. However, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” raises the audience’s awareness way before its release by creating the mystery of whether the Spider-Man of all three “generations” will gather in this flick.

Let’s put this spoiler aside! Even without the disappointment or surprise of not seeing or seeing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” there are enough cameos whose shots are much more than a cameo would deserve. Merely by watching the trailer, we know that not only Doctor Strange, but also all the Peter Parker supervillains from the classic “Spider-Man” franchise and “The Amazing Spiderman” series are crossovers in this motion picture. Don’t forget you’re watching a Marvel movie, so prepare yourself for more to come!

Being different from its prequels, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is truly a coming-of-age picture of the Wall-Crawler. Unlike Nick Fury or Tony Stark, the “guardian” in this episode, Doctor Strange, doesn’t see Spider-Man as a kid in the first place. However, with more and more crises appearing, Doctor Strange finally realizes that Peter Parker is just a kid after all, but in the end, moviegoers would witness how he changes from a kid to a grown-up.

Every hero has its moral lesson to learn. For the Web-Head, it’s always the famous “With great power comes great responsibility,” but in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” he’s going to learn the importance of a second chance. It’s not only a second chance for all the Spider-Man supervillains from the multiverse that he wants to save from their fates dying of fighting against the popular Avenger, but also for Peter Parker himself to make up for mistakes he has made.

All in all, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is not only the best Spidey feature film, but the best MCU film ever. It perfectly connects to the upcoming “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” in May 2022.
