Re: Least Favourite Hyped Movies?

[(Anonymous)]

Spider-Man: No Way Home. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero, and I love the Sam Raimi films, but it still felt more like Marvel/Sony jingling their keychain of other films and actors they have access to than a well-written attempt to carry on these characters' legacies. It's definitely not anywhere near the worst film that's hyped, but it's probably one of my least-favorites on a personal level.

All the characters, villains and Peter Parkers alike, feel flattened to fit the typical MCU quippy writing style, and the plot and themes are neutered because of it. I really think it would have been super interesting to examine how the different tones and themes of different iterations of Spider-Man might conflict and mesh (sorta like how Into the Spiderverse, a much better movie, did), but it all felt like derivative MCU sludge to me. It's a movie that thematically is about second chances, yet on a meta-level it never feels willing to give its characters from the non-MCU movies a second chance without forcing them to become interchangeable action figures who all generally have similar ways of speaking and joking.
