Marvel’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which hit area theaters Dec. 17, was one of the greatest films in Marvel cinematic history.


This movie was a thriller, to say the least. It had everything from action-packed scenes to heartbreaking moments that made the audience feel for the main character.


The way Marvel was able to come up with this movie idea was so spectacular. The way the movie creators brought back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spiderman will open the door for more possibilities throughout the MCU.


As a kid, I grew up watching the very first Spider-Man in theaters, and I fell in love with the franchise. Seeing this movie happen was a moment many people will never forget.


Seeing Maguire and Garfield back in Spider-Man suits was something many people would have thought would never happen again. Getting to see them paired up with Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man was amazing.


This movie was filled with phenomenal actors such as Tom Holland and Zendaya. It was also marked by the return of William Defoe’s Green Goblin, Alfred Molina’s Dr. Otto Octavious and Thomas Hayden-Church as Sandman from Maguire’s Spider-Man.


You also see the return of Dr. Curtis Connors as the lizard and Jamie Foxx as Electro from Garfield’s Spider-Man.


Bringing these villains from past Spider-Man movies – and having all three Spider-Men working together to fight off these villains – is really what set this movie apart. It’s also a huge reason behind the success of this film.


“Spider-Man: No Way Home” was given a 93% by Rotten Tomatoes, a commonly known movie rating website. It is in the eighth place in all-time in box office revenue worldwide. This movie will go down as one of the best superhero movies of all time.
