The movie includes special guests that completely change the whole movie experience. After seeing the movie twice, I can tell you firsthand that the excitement never leaves you no matter how many times you have watched the movie. I cheered along with several others in the audience when the guests appeared.

To prepare for this movie, several movies need to be watched beforehand, as they all connect and have impeccable detailing that you cannot miss. All three of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies, both of the Amazing Spider-Man movies starring Andrew Garfield and the two Spider-Man movies of Tom Holland are on the must watch list. Optional, but highly suggested movies are Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the show Daredevil and truly all of the previous marvel movies. These pop up as details and fun easter eggs in the movie, but add extra excitement for the best movie experience.

The movie sets up the plot to be continued in the future movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It contains not one, but two extra credit scenes, so make sure not to leave the theater until you have seen it all: finding out the next step for the series.

After recent controversy over the pairing of Sony and Marvel, I believe the companies successfully came together to release, by far, the best movie of the year. Spider-Man: No Way Home is packed with hilarious and exhilarating moments as well as excruciatingly painful scenes, so do not forget to grab a tissue box on the way to the theater.
