But Spider-Man: No Way Home changes that by offering that redemptive arc to its classic antagonists as well as its heroes, too.The film doesn’t

"It is so much simpler to bury reality than it is to dispose of dreams." As Morpheus once said in the original The Matrix movie, "no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." That's true of this movie, as well. I should just end the review here and instead encourage everyone to go watch The Matrix Resurrections – you really have to "see it for yourself" to make up your own mind, attempt to understand what it's saying / showing us, and decide whether that messag

With Spider-Man: No Way Home kicking all kinds of box office butt this weekend, I figured it was time to update my Spidey-on-film rankings. Considering this was the ninth iteration of the character on the big screen dating all the way back to Sam Raimi’s original 2002 blockbuster, it’s impressive that Sony and Marvel have continuously found new ways to keep the character feeling fresh and exciting — despite experiencing numerous hiccups and missed opportunities along the way.
