Garfield’s Peter crawls down to save a kid in a car that’s dangling off a bridge and both of them are clearly terrified. The airport battle is the movie’s central showcase for a reason — the stakes are high, but Spider-Man in particular keeps things moving by trying to chat with all the veteran heroes he’s fighting, and often outclassing. In welcome contrast to the history of superhero movies to that point, Homecoming imagines Spider-Man as an appropriately aged high schooler juggling the most dangerous after-school gig imaginable.

This service includes the United Kingdom Mainland, Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands. But it’s also safe to say that the cinematic adventures of the wall-crawler have come to a certain pause. It nails the sweetness that makes Peter unique, the idea that the mask is a metaphor for covering up insecurities and weaknesses, and that it’s a symbol that can give anyone strength. Watts brings the same energy to Homecoming, blending the comedy of Spidey’s quips into bigger set pieces, and relying heavily on Peter’s classmates — the dry-witted Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon’s overjoyed geek Ned, Angourie Rice’s broadcaster-in-the-making Betty, Tony Revolori’s Extremely Online egotist Flash — for splashes of genuine comedy.

Your little one will love getting to play with a toy that's been designed using their favourite characters. Both villains were defeated by the Superior Spider-Man (Otto Octiavus's mind in Spider-Man's body), who savagely beats them.

It’s matched the seething, almost-justified anger of Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes, who’s easily among the best MCU villains. Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey remain an inspired pairing trapped in a movie that never really feels like it’s about them. With three generations of webslingers (Tobey McGuire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland) sharing their own perspective on what it costs to be everyone’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, No Way Home can certainly get a bit muddy at times.

The result is a classic high-pressure Spider-Man story where the threats aren’t only coming from the villains, but Peter’s capacity for doing it all as the clock ticks down. The same applies to Dane Dehaan’s unsettling and edgy take on Harry Osborn, back from some time away.

He does the right thing not because he reaps anything from it, but because he should, as he learns after Uncle Ben’s tragic death. This is Spider-Man 2: one young man’s small and powerful realization played out across the skyscraper and elevated trains of a colorful city, changing his life, and ours. When Spider-Man and Daredevil arrive at the Bar With No Name, Screwball is among the patrons that attack them.
