I teared up numerous times. This is the closest we’ll ever get to an actual comic book on screen. 3 different versions of Spider-Man? Everything is canon?
This is the movie I’ve dreamed of and they delivered.
• Willem Dafoe absolutely owned this movie. I would even say his performance is better than the original Spider-Man. It’s incredible that the core of this massive comic book event was one of the best Peter/Goblin stories ever. Having him reprise his role and do it to this level is a double edged sword for Disney, it's impossible to recast that role now. Dafoe is the Goblin as Downey is Stark.
• Garfield was especially fantastic and you could tell how much he cares about this character. Giving him the chance to redeem not only his movies but his Peter was pretty powerful stuff.
• Everyone was going at 100%. Being able to juggle a cast of that size and calibre so well is an incredible achievement.
• I also do love that instead of being part of the Sinister Six, Venom decided to get wasted at a bar in Mexico.
• My only gripe is I wish there was a scene with Tobey’s Spider-Man and Norman. I kept hoping for a scene akin from Superior Spider-Man where Norman realizes Peter is back.
• I also guess this answers the Uncle Ben question. It seems he never existed in the MCU.
