Disclaimer: This is the script version of the video review of the film. If you want to see the video version, click on the link below. Thank you. Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch. © 2021. Marvel Studios, Sony Picutres, and Pascal Pictures. Directed by Jon Watts. The Good: After watching this film, I knew this was the best MCU Spider-man film and the best theater experience since endgame. There was so much to unpack from this film. I can tell right away, this is the most mature spider man film since spider-man 2. Tom Holland was giving his best performance yet in the MCU and maybe in his entire career so far. He showed a lot of emotions from happiness to rage and more into the ending of the film. His performance was great. Ned and MJ’s friendship was very well executed finally after two films. They get to shine both together and the ending shows how they are connected after the events of the final battle. The rest of the cast was also great in the film including Willem Dafoe as the green goblin, reprising his role from Spider-Man 1. He’s fucking terrifying in this one and his character continues where he left off from the first film. He’s the villain highlight of the film and Dafoe just breaks Peter into pieces. No mercy.
The rest of the villains were great as well. Electro, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, and The lizard were all great in the film and they got a chance to shine once again, especially Electro. His character was bad in The Amazing spider man 2 and in this one, he’s 100% better. The side characters like MJ, Ned, and Doctor Strange were very well used and I’m surprised that Doctor strange has the least amount of screen time in the film. He was promoted heavily and he’s not there for the entire film. He’s still great and this film will connect to Doctor Strange: In the multiverse of madness with the events of this film. The story is well made also. It immediately picks up right after Far from home and we see Peter struggling to get into MIT after his identity has been revealed. The first half of the film is great but there are some issues which I’ll get into later. The second half tho is a rollercoaster of emotions and excitement. I can’t describe it but it’s just perfect. The film is well-paced and it didn’t feel like a 2 and a half-hour film. The directing in this film was a huge step up and Jon Watts proves that he’s ready to direct Fantastic 4 for Marvel Studios. His direction was grounded and felt like actual stakes were going to happen in the film and there was. Especially in the end. His directed action sequences were very well done and the bridge scene was pretty entertaining. The final battle was just perfect. Not a lot of people credit Jon Watts for his direction of the trilogy but he deserved huge props for balancing these characters in this final climactic film in the “Home” Trilogy. The filmmaking was great and the visual presentation in IMAX was wonderful. The film was shot entirely with IMAX Digital cameras and IMAX does not disappoint yet again. The experience itself was a complete joy. Everyone reacted to huge surprises, cameos, and the post-credit scenes as well. It was amazing. This film was a joy from start to finish. The Bad: The first half of the film had some issues like consistency and editing issues. There’s one scene where there was a lack of reveal with the green goblin. I also felt like they left out certain scenes just for the runtime and the first half was a breeze. It felt like 30 minutes and boom. The CGI can be iffy sometimes in certain sequences. Some of the jokes didn’t land for me. I wish there was more Flash Thompson in the film and more of Peter dealing with post far from home. But after the first half finished, the second half was just perfect. It starts off big but calms down but when the villains arrive, shit goes down. MCU Stuff (Non-Spoilers): I’ll try to keep this section spoiler-free as possible. This film is well connected with the next Doctor Strange film as we see his magic opens a new section of the multiverse. The post-credit scenes are connected with a certain Sony/Marvel Film and the next MCU film. Can’t tell specifics but you will know. We also get to see Easter eggs from “Rogers the Musical” in New York City. This easter egg connects with the events of Hawkeye which takes place after no way home. Stark Industries is present again with the mention of Tony Stark once again. The statue of liberty easter egg with a brand new version now with Captain America’s shield. Even Hawkeye mentioned the statue in Episode 5. That’s all the easter eggs I can say about because there’s so much that isn’t shown yet to the public unless you watched the film yourself. Conclusion: This film was a true spider-man film and I can’t believe they executed it well. From beginning to end, it’s a rollercoaster ride full of emotions and excitement and an experience I won’t forget. This is a spider-man film. Finally, a conclusion to a spider-man trilogy. Spider-Man: No Way Home receives an “A”. Stay tuned for my spoiler review where I discuss my thoughts on the second half of the film, plus the two post-credit scenes, and the cameos featured in the film. Thank you guys for watching, remember, with great power, comes great responsibility. Vizeit Score: "A" Copyright © 2021. Vizeit Studios. All Rights Reserved. Review Written By: Everardo Garcia Jr.

© 2021. 20th Century Studios/Disney. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Review: Oh boy. A remake. But not a good remake…a fantastic remake?!? Impossible. This film was a joy. I was very entertained from the beginning to the final shot of the film. Just amazing.
The cast is spectacular in this film. Ariana DeBose steals the film with her amazing performance as Anita. Rachel Zegler is also fantastic in the film with Ansel Elgort. Anel acting was very good but his singing could’ve used more work. Everyone in the film was just amazing and it felt authentic to the vision of the original play. Just amazing. The cinematography is beautiful and rich with its color grading feeling like it’s straight up a remastered from the original film. The costume design is spot on and the set design is very authentic and makes the actors move around more freely. The score was amazing. I get chills every time and the “America” instrumental was GOOD. Technically, it’s a 10/10 and I can’t believe they pull it off. Steven Spielberg directing was great by making every shot and every scene feel authentic and connected with his vision. This was yet again, another great Spielberg film. His creativity is alive in this film. The story is well know, so no need to explain it. But the characters in this film were fantastic. The drama felt grounded and it didn’t have that typical cliché “musical drama”. The Spanish dialogue was very good and funny. I was glad that Spielberg didn’t include subtitles and it made the film feel authentic and real. The transition between a song to a dramatic scene was well executed. The song choices are fantastic and it was great?!? Whattttt??? I was enjoying more then “into the heights”. How? Because the songs didn’t felt cringe and it had purpose. The opening song and scene alone was the highlight of the film. Especially the school dance scene. Chills watching that scene and it was so well shot. Wow. This film was enjoyable as fuck. From the story to the characters to the songs to the technical filmmaking and to Spielberg’s directing, this was just perfect. Another sleeper hit and this one MAY win Best Picture. Now in theaters.

Quick Review: “King Richard” is a well made sports film that focus on family drama over Tennis. Even though it’s a tennis story, it’s still a family drama film and a father story. The performances are great and Will Smith proves that he’s still a great dramatic actor. The two sisters in the film were great also. The cinematography is pretty great and this film is pretty dark in the beginning of the film. But it picks up the tone in the middle and brings the drama from family into sports. A well made film and I enjoyed it. Vizeit Score: “A-“ Copyright © 2021. Vizeit Studios. All Rights Reserved. Review Written By: Everardo Garcia Jr. Andre Holland and Melvin Gregg. © 2019. Netflix. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Watched it on Netflix.
Quick Review: A nice solid film looking back at the lockout of the NBA with the perspective of a NBA agent instead of a player. Every does a great job in the film and shows how sometimes, the business can be very complicated. It ain’t your typical NBA. Also, the film is shot entirely on iPhone which was pretty cool and felt cinematic at some points. But you can get distracted with some of the odd lighting. But it’s still a great film from Steven Soderbergh. Now Streaming on Netflix. Vizeit Score: “B” Copyright © 2021. Vizeit Studios. All Rights Reserved. Review Written By: Everardo Garcia Jr. Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal. © 2018. Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate. Directed by Carlos López Estrada. Watched it on Digital
Quick Review: A nice film that includes comedy, drama, and politics that don’t shove it in front of your face. A lot of great moments, especially the ending. Great directing and amazing performances. Funny also. Pretty short too. Vizeit Score: “B+” Copyright © 2021. Vizeit Studios. All Rights Reserved. Review Written By: Everardo Garcia Jr. |
