Just FYI, the world premiere is tonight in Hollywood. Critics and journalists will be attending. The reaction embargo lifts at 10:30 PM PT, immediately following the premiere, so prepare yourselves accordingly. Spoilers will likely be everywhere. I obviously won't be posting them here, but I will be posting vague, spoiler-free reactions.
The best part of #SpiderManNoWayHome is the return of Dafoe and Molina who are just FANTASTIC. Can't say much more, but the last 3rd of the movie was quite moving. The first third is rough. Gonna make a billion dollars no matter what.

Feels like Tom Holland is done, and he does give all of himself here (He finally gets to say "Doc?" in full Marty McFly). But that also means rushing through some big character stuff in 15-20 minutes. Tom Holland is definitely the best live-action Spider-Man ever.

I can confidently say #SpiderManNoWayHome is THE BEST live-action Spider-Man movie. A thrilling & emotional end to the “Homecoming” trilogy, but also a smart, fun & exciting tribute to 20 years of Spider-Man movies. Both hilarious & heartbreaking, I honestly loved every second. pic.twitter.com/8xpqbTNgfz

Entertaining in places, a little bit of emotional, soul, but so content to play in a nostalgia legacy-sequel realm. Our review of #SpiderManNoWayHome is here. #SpiderMan #NoWayHome https://t.co/TuJK9q0xP6

Spider-Man: No Way Home feels a movie version of a big comic book event miniseries (ala Batman Hush). It was more emotional than I was expecting, justifies the ending I didn’t like from Far From Home, and sends the franchise in an exciting direction. pic.twitter.com/8OQCCGYDmw

I can’t believe SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME exists.
— Jake Hamilton (@JakesTakes) December 14, 2021
Nostalgic, funny, emotional — one of my favorites of the year.
For every time we played with our action figures and made up stories as kids.
For every fun superhero hypothetical we presented to our friends.
This movie is for us. pic.twitter.com/CUMINSBskh
So, #SpiderManNoWayHome I was concerned with so many characters that it would feel crammed and not enough development to care about what was going on. I’m happy to have been wrong. This is engaging, emotional and most of all fun! Review:https://t.co/A4LimLeIaQ pic.twitter.com/fc8qMOonET

I wrote about SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME. This feels like a movie that, in theory, has no business working, but does. There’s *a lot* going on. But it’s a whole lot of fun. Yeah, some baked in nostalgia. Yeah, a dash of fan service. Who cares? The story works https://t.co/WepPYQSHx7

Very much the movie I was expecting, yet #NoWayHome is the surest version of it. Uses that ™ @Kevfeige IP gimmickry to define what it means to be #SpiderMan & the sacrifice inherent to the mantle. A perfect trilogy capper from @jnwtts & @MarvelStudios’ best #Phase4 offering yet! pic.twitter.com/3LGqQQVleg

Love the tone first two @TomHolland1996 #Spidey movies?First half of #SpiderManNoWayHome delivers on that, only to take a detour into a new level of franchisery in the second. Yet these twists all feel earned and even inevitable, moving the character forward with grace and humor. pic.twitter.com/I2Fi4CgNbU

Believe the hype! #SpiderManNoWayHome is absolutely incredible. Not only the best superhero movie of the year, but hands down the best Spider-Man film ever that honors what has come before.

Do the motivations make a lick of sense? Not really! Can you feel the plot leading the characters instead of the other way around? Uh huh! And yet, once those payoffs start happening, they prove incredibly satisfying. Whatever money there is to be made now, SM: NWH will make it.

#SpiderManNoWayHome is a smorgasbord of story, surprises and strong set pieces. It’s an exhilarating melange that fans will lap up. The buffet of bad guys is a blast. Holland excels again in a lead role. The show stopping third act is an absolute treat. Avoid the spoilerverse! pic.twitter.com/joy2FUHfUZ

While entertaining and often funny, #SpiderManNoWayHome (barely) balances being a straight-up sequel to 'Far From Home' and being like a 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' that barely cared more about Miles Morales via @forbes by @ScottMendelson https://t.co/dIOHZhvKEf

#SpiderManNoWayHome features a never-been-better Tom Holland, some sloppy decisions, and a bunch of surprises we absolutely cannot talk about yet. Here's @VinnieMancuso1's (spoiler-free!) review https://t.co/xGzkgGBpc4
