Spider-Man: No Way Home 

THE much-awaited film follows Spider-Man whose identity is revealed publicly for the first time. When he is unable to separate his private life as Peter Parker and his public life as a superhero, he seeks the help of Doctor Strange to reverse the situation. Directed by Jon Watts, the film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jon Favreau, and Benedict Wong. Brian Tallerico of www.rogerebert.com writes: “So many modern superhero movies have confronted what it means to be a superhero, but this is the first time it’s really been foregrounded in the current run of Peter Parker, which turns No Way Home into something of a graduation story. It’s the one in which Parker has to grow up and deal with not just the fame that comes with Spider-Man but how his decisions will have more impact than most kids planning to go to college.” Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer gives the film a score of 94%, and an audience score at 98%.
