Shortly after Spider-man: Far From Home . . . [mild spoilers ahead]
The world knows that Peter Parker is Spider-man. And his life is ruined. Dogged by the press, shunned by colleges, and tormented by the masses, Peter turns to Dr. Strange in desperation. Can he help? Strange starts to work his magic, but complications arise, leading to links to other dimensions . . . and all of a sudden, Spidey finds himself confronting villains from the past. Not his past, per se, but Spider-mans' from other times. What will it take to undo the mess he has created . . . and will he be able to make the sacrifice required?
I missed this in theaters, and was eagerly awaiting the blu-ray release. This movie is highly regarded- deservedly so. It's action-packed, funny, poignant, and nostalgic, with nods to past movies (for maximum enjoyment, know your Spider-man films). But more than that, the message is powerful. Ultimately, this is a film about fighting our inherent selfishness and doing what's right regardless of personal cost. "It's not about you" is a basic life lesson that is hard to learn for us all- even Spider-man.
Rating: A
