Spider-Man: No Way Home is a love letter to Spider-Man
, the third time proved to be the charm, though, because this film entirely manages to circumvent that particular pitfall., and it does indeed feature a cast of seeming thousands, but Watts and returning screenwriters, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, bring a focus to the film that ensures it never loses its central thread.
Watts and co. also keep things moving by creating action set-pieces that are effective rather than spectacular, but also very character-driven and crafted in such a way that they never devolve into interminable sequences of nothing more than people in bright costumes hitting each other.
It's why Spider-Man, a character who perfectly encapsulates both moral responsibility and endless resilience , can draw such an unabashed emotional response from audiences; especially when that audience experiences his adventures communally and even more especially when that experience brings the full weight of years of similarly powerful Spider-Man stories behind it.
It's also the same reason, incidentally, why it's always around the likes of Buffy Summers, Captain Kirk and Luke Skywalker that passionate fan bases are built. Now, take all this, add an A-list cast of actors, playing a group of unforgettable characters that each get their own moment in the spotlight, and then centre it all around a sweet, fully convincing romance between Peter Parker and MJ and some seriously emotional story beats, and you have a film that lives up to Roger Ebert's definition of cinema as"an empathy machine" like few others can and do.
