Spider-Man: No Way Home - Audience Reactions

 🚨Spoiler Alert 🚨 


If you’re here I hope you have seen Spider-Man: No Way Home so below is the list of the biggest audience reactions I noticed at the screening I went to. 

Saturday, December 18, 2021 IMAX theater in Manhattan, New York. 

I saw the film at a mostly sold out—9AM screening. It is only the THIRD in theater movie I’ve seen since the pandemic started in March 2020 and it’s definitely the biggest audience I have been in. 


Below are the biggest audience reactions. 


🙌🙌🙌The appearance of CHARLIE COX as “Matt Murdock” 

and then 🙌🙌🙌 when he caught the brick 🧱 

🙌🙌🙌The appearance of DOC OCK

🙌🙌🙌The appearance of GREEN GOBLIN 

 

🙌🙌🙌The appearance of WILLEM DEFOE (mask off) 


About the older actors, as I stated in my Review “I must say that the “de-aging” technology was really outstanding.” 


🙌🙌🙌The appearance of ANDREW GARFIELD

 

🙌🙌🙌The appearance of TOBY MAGUIRE 


🙌🙌🙌 When all three Spider-Men 🕷🕷🕷, masks on, were swinging and landed together  


🙌🙌🙌When JAMIE FOXX said “I thought you were black” to ANDREW GARFIELD. An allusion to MILES MORALES. 


🙌🙌🙌 When ANDREW GARFIELD saved MJ (ZENDAYA) 🥲🥲🥲


When the three Spidermen hugged 🥲🥲🥲


🙌🙌🙌 In the POST CREDIT scene of the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) TEASER when ELIZABETH OLSEN appears as WANDA/SCARLETT WITCH 


There probably were a few that I missed, but those were the biggest reactions from the audience I saw the film with.


In reviewing this film, movie critic Sean Chandler said that there’s something about the shared experience of seeing a movie in theaters versus watching them at home. 

As he said “If you watch that at home, it’ll be great to see ‘em. It’s not the same thing as experiencing that with a room full of people that are just as excited as you. It’s not the same thing.” 

I agree.
