It amazes me how many of you have issues at the theater. I can't recall a single time I've gone where I've had any of the issues you folks have. Maybe I'm just lucky.
Same, I've seen almost every MCU movie in the theater plus many others, and in those 10+ years I can't remember ever having an issue
Are we doing spoilers? Because man was this film ####ing excellent.
Spoiler!
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.

There's a spoiler friendly thread for the movie. Do repost there so that your points aren't lost!

What issue are you guys talking about? People sick with covid? I haven’t seen any other issues even mentioned and I only mentioned covid as a joke.
Speaking of which, I actually chuckled at the covid spreaders in the theatre. The second the lights go out this couple a couple of rows over spends the entire 2 hours and 40 minutes sniffling and coughing. Every quiet scene they could be heard. Sniffling and struggling to breath from two rows over.
I saw who I am pretty sure was them on my way out of the theatre, they looked like Ebola patient extras from Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman.
So I’m pretty sure my entire showing now has covid. I’m sure I’ll get a chance to pay it forward very soon.
Speaking of theatre etiquette, my crowd erupted in cheers similar to this multiple times during No way Home. Maybe I'm just becoming old and out of touch but this just feels forced and not genuine. I've only seen this behaviour at MCU films (End Game, Cap Marvel, NWH) , I never seen people act like this at LOTR or The Dark Knight trilogy or Hunger Games. Is this a younger audience thing or an MCU thing.

I assumed people were talking about loud kids, overly excited fan boys making a show of how much they enjoy the experience rather than letting everyone enjoy the experience.
Personally I have never had the issue, and I pretty much only go to MCU movies / cartoon blockbusters my kids insist on seeing in theaters right now, so I select for being likely to have this problem. Everything else I am content to wait for streaming.
T-minus 8 hours for my tickets, Spiderman movies are almost always my favorite, SM3 is really the only one that I didn't enjoy a lot. And based on the audience scores I'm pretty excited about this one.

I remember a kid talked thru a marvel movie once. I think it was civil war. I can’t recall many other bad theatre experiences. Beyond that the worst thing is theatres where people have full meals like the seton vip. I came to watch a movie, not smell your disgusting meal and listen to you stuff your face.
I think most of those cheering videos are staged. It’d also be annoying to miss a bunch of the movie because of clowns yelling and hollering. This isn’t a midnight showing of the room or rocky horror we’re talking about.
I rewatched far from home. It was even worse than I remembered. Made me appreciate no way home that much more. Mysterio was such a waste. Stolen Stark drones were the real villain. Even from the grave Stark’s weapons and tech are causing havoc. That’s the first two Spidey movies his villain is directly attributable to stark. Between this, Ultron and who knows what else I’m forgetting, maybe we should be glad he’s dead.
I think I’ll go back and watch SM2 next. Interesting all the Spidey movies are on Netflix except 2. It’s on prime.

Well Stark's tech did prevent New York from getting nuked and stopped Thanos from snapping the other half of the universe into oblivion, so I'd say the benefits to having him around were still pretty good

On a whim, I went to see Phantom Menace on opening night in LA (layover on a trip from Mexico). It was an experience. Everyone in the theatre was shouting at the screen and cheering. It made that movie better.
Friends and I as a laugh decided to get boozed up and see a midnight showing of Spice World on opening night. Likely really boozed up. Everyone else seemed to have had the same idea. It was a hilarious night at the movies watching that piece of garbage.
But I do agree with you now. I just want complete silence to enjoy the movie. We had cheers in our theatre for No Way Home as well. It was fun the first time but got stale.
Honestly the guy sitting next to me walked into the movie during previews with his cellphone light on to read the seat numbers (they're lit). Then him and the guy behind me were over enthusiastically cheering the big reveals.
I guess that's what I get for saying I haven't really had that problem before. I don't think it does anything for the experience at all. I don't mind people chuckling at laugh lines, but you don't need to shout that you understood every reference to the entire theater.

Finally got around to watching the 2nd Venom movie, and man what a frustrating franchise. They managed to do justice to the actual Venom character (mostly thanks to Tom Hardy), but everything else about both movies is just so bad. Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad writing, Hardy is the only redeeming factor. I really hope he finds his way to the MCU so that Marvel writers can finally give him a decent movie
