Spider-Man Review: No Way Home (2021): The Perfect End To The MCU Spidey Trilogy

 This Spider-Man: No Way Home review contains no SPOILERS!


Finally, the film, which is probably the most anticipated of all the 2021 releases, has arrived. YES!



And it's undeniable that since the beginning of December 2021 yesterday the release date was announced, all moviegoers in this world (whether they be fanboys or just ordinary) are really impatient.


Especially the Indonesian audience and fanboys . “REALLY AWESOME!” This is evidenced by the number of pre-order tickets for the third MCU Spider-Man film from almost 1-2 weeks earlier. Even so vicious, as we know, some time ago there was a horrendous case.


Yes, especially if it's not the case of the overload & error of the Tix-id site ? Specifically, those who may not know yet, because many have ordered Spider-Man: No Way Home H-1 tickets before the game date, December 15, 2021, many are "stuck" with the tickets.


As a result, like it or not, Tix-id had to refund a number of audiences whose tickets could not be redeemed. This is very unfortunate indeed. But at the same time, it also shows that the Spider-Man: No Way Home hype is no joke.


And I am very sure, some of you must have been "victims" of the ferocity of this third film directed by Jon Watts. So, is the quality of Spider-Man: No Way Home really as crazy as the hype and the crowd?


Just take a look at the following Spider-Man: No Way Home review .


Will only discuss what is in the trailer

So, before going into the review of Spider-Man: No Way Home , I want to remind you of one important thing. Considering when writing this review , it's only been about 4-5 days after the release of the film, so I'm sure there are still many who haven't seen the film.


Therefore, this entire review of Spider-Man: No Way Home will more or less only discuss the quality of the film, the quality of acting, and also discuss what has appeared in the trailer . So it's very safe.


And I REALLY beg those of you who have watched it, PLEASE DON'T BE SELF AND GROW EMPATHY to those who haven't watched it okay?


MCU Spidey Trilogy Best Movies

Okay, let's jump right into this Spider-Man: No Way Home review with the overall response to the film. Well , I can say that what those who have seen it say are absolutely true (whether it's a layman or a fanboy ).


This is the best Spider-Man movie in the MCU Spidey trilogy. Or let's just call it, "Home Trilogy" . Anyway, this movie is really cool. Everything we expect appears here. And for those of you who are fanboys of the comics, you will still be very satisfied. Let's just say this is Spidey from the MCU universe / earth so you don't need to compare it to the comics too much.


Whether it's plot, acting, visuals, surprises, everything is complete here. So yes, if you were a little disappointed yesterday with the previous 2 films, you will be very satisfied with this film.


Still Not The Best Spider-Man Movie Of All Time

But even though Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best film of all the Home Trilogy films , unfortunately for me, it's still not the best live-action Spider-Man film of all time. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 (2004) is still the best so far.


Why is that? Because the weight of the emotional conflict shown in this film is still not as powerful as the one in the sequel to Spider-Man (2002). In this sequel, we are also swept away when we see Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) feeling very indecisive whether he wants to continue living his double life or not at all.


And when we decide to stop being Spidey, we see a much bigger impact that is very significant. Now, it is the highlighting of this inner conflict that makes this film, and the first film, still considered the best film to this day.


Indeed, once again, Spider-Man: No Way Home has moments like that. But still not as powerful as in Spider-Man 2 .


But that's okay. Because if ranked in the list of the 8 best live-action Spider-Man films so far, No Way Home still occupies the third position. Not a bad rating right?


Very Neat Story and Character Arrangement

Another cool factor of Spider-Man: No Way Home is the very neat arrangement of the story and characters. Honestly, even though Watts and his team have succeeded in removing the trauma from Spider-Man 3 (2007) with the previous 2 films, the trauma reappeared a little when watching the trailer for No Way Home .


But unlike the trauma with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) which technically also features a lot of villains , at least the trauma that is feared for this closing film is not too big. Because we can still make sense of the presence of many Spidey classic villains in this film.


Specifically, because the plot concept is a multiverse , it is only natural that there are 5 villains appearing in this film. What we are actually a little worried about is the way Watts and the scriptwriter duo, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers neatly organize the story and all of the characters.


Well , I can say that they all, like us, know this anxiety. And because of this high awareness, as a result, the arrangement of the five villains is neatly arranged. Anyway, nothing is stuffed or forced.


Yes, indeed there are those who get a bigger portion even in the end, becoming the main villain of the film. But still the average other villain , getting a very fitting portion.

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: A MONSTROUS EXCHANGE, THE CAST: "HARD TO ADMIT IT'S ALL OVER"

 On the occasion of the debut of Hotel Transylvania: A Monstrous Exchange on Prime Video, we met some of the original voices.



Almost ten years after the first chapter's film debut, Sony Pictures Animation's hit franchise concludes on Prime Video with its fourth feature, Hotel Transylvania: A Monstrous Exchange . On the occasion of this farewell, the international press attended a special online conference, with part of the original voice cast: Andy Samberg (Johnny), Selena Gomez (Mavis), Keegan-Michael Key (Murray the mummy), David Spade ( Griffin, the invisible man), and Fran Drescher(Eunice, the wife of Frankenstein's monster). A funny meeting, also due to technical problems (Gomez's connection was interrupted for several minutes towards the end, causing router problems at the star's home), and with a clarification about the great absence in the film: Adam Sandler, voice of Dracula in the first three films, this tour is missing due to other commitments. Spade explains: " Adam had, I think, three other films in the works at the same time. " Adds Drescher: " Luckily it's very easy to imitate the voice he uses for Dracula, it's not particularly like how he talks in life. "


New challenges


Hotel Transylvania: A monstrous exchange revolves around the odd premise of transformation: Professor Van Helsing has invented a contraption that can turn humans into monsters, and vice versa. How did the actors react when they saw the designs for these new versions of their characters? Andy Samberg begins : " I love it, it's a cross between a backpacker and Godzilla, which is what I dreamed of being as a child. " David Spade , on the other hand, explains how his intervention led to changes: " When they showed me the version Griffin's human, was initially good-looking, looked a bit like Bradley Cooper. I pointed out that in my opinion, since he goes for a walk with monsters and is probably not in shape, something more funny would make sense. Also because it is a family film, these characters should also make you laugh in terms of physical appearance. " Keegan Michael Key was surprised:" I expected Murray to be overweight, because I thought he only had a layer of bandages. When I saw that he was going to be thin and very low, it affected my performance, because I had to give him a completely different voice than usual. "Another question for Samberg: Does animation affect comic timing?"Not particularly, also because at the fourth film we know what the visual style is and what they expect from us. And it's nice to be able to do these projects, because they don't ask you to be measured, you can exaggerate as much as you want. "

Say goodbye to the hotel


What will this cast miss from the franchise after ten years of adventures? Selena Gomez , after being offline for a few minutes, returns with an answer that is linked to the concept of complicity with other actors at junket and events such as the Toronto International Film Festival, where the world premiere of the progenitor took place: " I remember that I was with Andy for some interviews, and they started asking me questions about my private life. And he answered for me! ". Fran Drescher is very attached to her character: " I will miss Eunice, I love her look and her role in the franchise, she is a kind of mother figure. " Keegan-Michael Key is interested in the final result: "Every time I see the finished film it is a great emotion, because the artistic and technical level is very high. I'll miss that, to be able to see the new movies. "David Spade thinks in similar terms:" Yes, it's nice to see the full movie, also because now that it comes out you have already started working on the next one, and so when the audience asks if there will be another one you can answer yes. It's a shame that the saga is over, but I'm happy because the four films are all successful in my opinion. "Samberg becomes a little melancholy:" I still don't want to admit that it's all over, because I had a lot of fun. I'll miss everything: the dubbing, the cast, the junket, everything. "

I run to you : Pierfrancesco Favino and Miriam Leone together for the first time

 The new comedy directed by Riccardo Milani and out in cinemas on February 10 promises emotion and laughter thanks to the couple formed by Favino and Leone


What would a serial seducer be willing to do in order to get the woman he interests to end up in his network? We will find out in Corro da te, the new film by Riccardo Milani who, after the success of C ome un gatto in tangenziale - Return to Coccia di Morto , returns to the cinema from 10 February with a romantic comedy starring two champions who, up to today, they had never met: Pierfrancesco Favino and Miriam Leone. I run to you , inspired by the movie Tout le Monde Bebout, written and directed by Franck Dubosc in collaboration with Gaumont, it is the story of Gianni (Favino), a man of almost fifty at the head of an important brand of running shoes who, at a certain point, pretends to be on a wheelchair to conquer the young lady on duty.


But when he meets Chiara (Leone), a sunny and optimistic woman, a musician for work and a tennis player for passion despite the accident that made her paraplegic , Gianni begins to have a completely different kind of feelings for her. Thanks to his closeness and his influence, Gianni will be able to change the perspective on many things: life, love, disability itself, learning that the only real handicap is the lack of fortitude. The film, which also stars Carlo De Ruggieri and Pietro Sermonti, Vanessa Scalera , Michele Placido, Giulio Base and the great Piera degli Esposti in her latest interpretation , among others, has all the credentials to catalyze the attention of the spectators especially from the Pierfrancesco Favino-Miriam Leone duo who, already from the trailer, reveals a palpable alchemy.


The two actors, who over the years have managed to build a very solid career thanks to increasingly strong and appreciated interpretations by the public and critics , compete, in this round, with a bittersweet title capable of combining the fun of misunderstandings and suffering. of unveiling, offering that range of conflicting emotions that only two professionals like them are able to return on screen. Corro da te is written by Furio Andreotti, Giulia Calenda and by Riccardo Milani himself.

Autumn Series: Leandie du Randt on books, anxiety, gratitude, and habits.

 Leandie du Randt, whether on screen, on stage, as a writer, or as a presenter, has a presence for once. With her distinctive sparkle and go-getter attitude, over the past few years she has established herself not only as an actress, but also as a businesswoman. Her open and honest approach to things like anxiety, relationships, and failure makes her one of South Africa's most accessible public personalities. Currently appearing as presenter on M-Net's brand new reality series, Love Island South Africa , we decided it's time to get to know Leandie a little better.



Where does her spirit of gratitude come from? What books does she like to read? And what does she do when she feels overwhelmed? Read and learn together!


From time to time, Afrikaans.com uses Tim Ferris' Tribe of Mentors questions to learn more about (and from) our country's favorite celebrities, business personalities, writers, and so on. This article is part of that series.


What is the book (or books) that you like and most often give as a gift and why?


Or, what are the one to three books that have had a huge impact on your life and why? 


The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Steven Covey - I was in grade 10 when I first read a self-help book and it was this one. My dad just put the book on my pillow. Maybe because I was quite a difficult teenager at the time and fought a lot with my mother. He probably wanted to try to penetrate me in a different way and it worked, hear! This book made me addicted to self-help books. This is definitely where my love for self-promotion, introspection, as well as my interest in the human heart and psyche, began. This book is such a fantastic gift for any teenager. For those who are already in their teens but would still like to learn from Covey's principles, there is also an adult version, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.


The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman - I read the book in high school because I firmly believed it would help me find my fiancé. What it does do is identify and understand your and others' love language. It explains to you how people differ in the way we show, notice and also want to receive love. It has already saved so many marriages and relationships - not only between husband and wife, but also in families and friendships. I would especially recommend this book to couples. When it comes to people and relationships, I also like to recommend Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin. The book was given to me by one of my best friends and mentors, dr. Gerdi van den Berg (her own book You Can Changeis also a MUST READ). In Fascinating Womanhood , you as a woman learn how to love your husband in a way he will notice and understand - it's really revolutionary, yet so old-fashioned in principle.


The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle -  if you're as strong L2 as I am in Kobus Neethling's Brain Profile (go read more about that!), You'll really want to plan everything in your life. The truth is, however, as the Word of the Lord also says, that what was and what is to come is nothing compared to what IS, and that one can only plan to a certain extent. One can also not go back in time and change things. Therefore, one must learn to embrace what IS. That's what The Power of Now is aboutgo. Eckhart Tolle managed it so beautifully to teach me to celebrate what I am now and have. If I show up in the present and be present, worry and anxiety will diminish the day after tomorrow. The book is a must-read for anxious and neurotic people. Echkart Tolle's potluck series with Oprah, which also deals with the book, is a must-listen after or while you read the book. The potluck helps to make some of the more difficult concepts digestible and more understandable.


Other books that also make you think and broaden your thinking are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari by one of my favorite mentors and life coaches , Robin Sharma. His short videos on Instagram and short podcasts are also definitely a must for those who like self-mastery and self-promotion.


Which purchase of R1000.00 or less over the past 12 months has had a huge impact on your life?


Our readers like details - include brand, model, where you bought it, why it helped you, etc. 


My Ring Light on Takealot.com for R850. I use it for all my Zoom calls, interviews, photos and videos I make myself.


If you could set up a massive outdoor billboard somewhere that would reach millions of people, what would it say and why?


It can be a few words or a complete paragraph. You can even quote someone. 


Choose that life is happening to YOU.


What is one of the best investments you have ever made?


It can be time, money, energy, etc. be.


The time I have already spent in my friends and family. They are my "tribe of mentors" and my council as I call them. Without them, I definitely would not have been where I am or have survived what I have.


What is an unusual habit you have, or something seemingly absurd that you really like to do? 


This question, in a single word, can be summed up for me in gratitude and the living out of it. My mother suffered from Alzheimer's. For this reason, I have learned the habit of thanking Dear Jesus for small things I can do myself - to be able to go to the bathroom, to be able to recall and remember something, to never wish away a memory not. The book, The Magic, also instilled in me the habit of always saying thank you to cleaners; in the mall, at the airport, wherever! The joy it brings to their faces makes my day every time. We are so prone to complain when a public place is dirty, but do we ever say thank you when it is cleaned? Thank you thank you thank you!


In the last five years, what new view or habit has improved your life the most? 


Without a doubt the habit of leading a life of gratitude and keeping a gratitude journal . I use it to write down 10 things daily for which I am grateful. It puts you on a "frequency of receiving" and prevents you from becoming a victim - your thoughts and what you are meditating on are invaluable.


When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, what do you do to overcome it? 


I first ask myself what it is that is stressing or overwhelming me, and whether it is something I can control. If it is not, I have to decide to accept it and start focusing on the other things that are true and good in my life right now. If this is something I can control, I ask myself what I can do to change or improve it. Then I make an action list and prioritize the order in which things should happen. After that, I jump in and just start. I calm down when I have lists of things to do. I use the notes feature on my phone, and tick off each task as I progress. It brings me a lot of joy and makes me feel I am more or less in control of my things.


If I just feel sad or emotional, I pour myself a glass of wine and sit down somewhere where I can look at nature and name for myself everything I have to be thankful for. I also think about what it is that makes me sad and then I ask myself why and what can I do about it to let the feelings go. It also helps me a lot to discuss it with my boyfriend, girlfriends, or family members. They always give me perspective and help me make sense of my feelings. Sometimes you just need that person to bounce things off, because sometimes we become too subjectively involved in our own thoughts and see things not for what they really are, but for the facade we have created in our head.
