(2021) (Tom Holland, Zendaya) (PG-13)
- QUICK TAKE:
- Superhero Action: After trying to get others to forget his just-revealed identity, a web-slinging superhero must contend with the arrival of good and bad figures from alternate universes.
- PLOT:
Until recently, high school student Peter Parker (TOM HOLLAND) has kept his alter-ego -- the superhero webslinger Spider-man -- secret from most of the world. That is, except for his girlfriend, MJ (ZENDAYA), best friend, Ned (JACOB BATALON), his Aunt May (MARISA TOMEI), and her boyfriend, former Iron Man assistant Happy Hogan (JON FAVREAU).
But now that online provocateur J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. SIMMONS) has outed him, Peter must contend with the fallout, including half of the world thinking he murdered his last adversary. It's so bad and affects his family and friends to such a degree that he goes to his former Avengers teammate, Dr. Stephen Strange (BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH), for help. In short, he wants the master of the mystic arts to conjure up a spell that will make the world forget that he's Spider-Man.
But his sudden amendments to that spell cause it to spiral out of control, opening wormholes into alternate universes. All of which means he must not only contend with other versions of himself showing up, but also a bevy of villains -- Electro (JAMIE FOXX), Doctor Octopus (ALFRED MOLINA), Green Goblin (WILLEM DAFOE), Sandman (THOMAS HADEN CHURCH), and Lizard (RHYS IFANS) -- who want him dead.
