It’s no spoiler alert. There are three Spider-Men in the latest installment, “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
Showing the downside of celebrity, director Jon Watts lets everyone know Peter Parker is really Spider-Man. Since tabloid journalist J. Jonah Jameson has labeled him a public enemy, he’s not safe anywhere. Friends M.J. and Ned , try to shield him, but this is a free-for-all. Cellphones rise wherever he appears; M.J. is bluntly asked if she’s carrying his “spidey-babies.” To find some kind of out, Peter goes to Dr. Strange and asks what his options might be.
Marisa Tomei returns as Peter’s Aunt May and, even in a handful of scenes, she leaves an impression. All those folks who said she didn’t deserve the Oscar for “My Cousin Vinny” need to apologize. In role after role, she continues to prove she’s one of the most reliable actresses working today. She and Holland get a scene that ranks as one of the year’s best. He and Zendaya get a close second.
Once Strange provides the keys to returning order, it’s just a matter of testing them in the locks. Watts makes sure there’s plenty of humor, but this clearly shows how Holland can go from enthusiastic kid to full-fledged superhero. He’s a great actor – a really great actor – who should be able to springboard to many grittier roles.
Because Watts juggles a lot of balls , there isn’t a lot of time for those standard effects shots. Instead, he lets characters explain themselves and answer questions that may have been brewing for years.
