Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

The plot of this film doesn't make a hole lot of sense, and it is quite contrived, but I can accept that, as they wanted to have a (flimsy) excuse to get all three of the actors together who played in the previous Spiderman films. It was merely a nostagic trip, bringing back six or so of the villians from the previous films. But the whole plot didn't make a lot of sense, and it made Dr Starnge look grossly incompetant and careless. The problem with the film is that it has no rewatchability. There weren't any great scenes that you would want to go back to and reawatch. This is the way with all films for at least the last decade (I am talking to you Star Wars sequels), in that they don't have great scenes, where as in older films, they would have multiple scenes that you wanted to watch over and over again. While that, and bring back most of the villans (What, no James Franco or Topher Grace - well Venom was completely wasted in that film...) Was this just a lame attempt to justify bringing back the villinas they killed off in the previous films? Take a lesson from the original Superman films (but not too much of a note), but not the Batman films (you don't have to kill off your villians at the end of each film). And as for Superman, you didn't really need to have Lex Luthor in 3 of the four films, as Gene Hackman plays a lousy Lex Luthor, but still the films he appeared in were better than the third film, even though the villian in that film wasn't too bad, and the evil computer did give a lot of kids nightmares. I still cannot understand why Zendaya is gettign roels in movies. She was slightly better in theilf film that the previous Spider-man film. But she shows nearly no reaction or emoiton. Okay, I get it. She wasin Shake in UP (TV) on Disney, and I know that many kids loved that show, mosstly for Bella Thore, who doesn't seem to be doing much these days, except screwing (not litterally) followers on OnlyFans.
