For how busy and packed with characters No Way Home is, it is still impressive how little any of it resonates beyond a pale mirror of other Spider Man images. It is true that stories about the cyclical lives of super heroes are a comic book staple and I've certainly read much more mediocre versions of same, but it still don't justify how much of a whimper Garfield saving Zendaya comes off when the movie self conscious treat it as one of its major emotions payoffs (although coming attractions might be a better term). It also doesn't help how between MCU plastic flat look and Watts narrow imagination just underserve a movie so predicted in the notion of images talking to each other. That it is over 2 hours of fireworks that move pieces around just so MCU Peter can take a deep look at the other two Peters and conclude that his whiny over privileged son of Ironman existence is all wrong for who he is supposed to be even tough it is something that only makes sense in a complete metatextual level says a lot about the failure of those Watts movies. It is still better than the last, even tough Maguire zero effort "I'd rather be at Staples Center" performance perfect encapsulates the movie.
