It certainly deserves a best script nomination, and one for best picture wouldn't be unreasonable.

reply

Best script? The categories are best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay. There is no "best script" award.

I think it deserves a best picture nomination, but likely won't get it.

Yeah that screenplay with no plot and lots of member berries.....where a multiverse opens just because a botched spell and lots of corny jokes for 12 year old boys to chuckle at.

What are you, like in middle school? Lol

reply

"member berries"

but the great thing about this movie is that it isn't just member berries!

it doesn't do what you would have expected - throw the characters in and say 'hey, remember that? they're back!'

instead, it gives the characters new arcs, and completes them in satisfying ways.

i don't know if this deserves awards. i'll leave it to the smart people to be the final authority on such matters. but credit where credit is due. they didn't just pander to nostalgia. they actually made a complete, satisfying, entertaining & surprisingly emotional movie.

Very well said.

These weren’t just phoned in performances either, everyone who came back from a previous Spider-Man film genuinely put in great performances and slipped back into their roles easily.

I don’t know about it’s Oscar chances but it’s easily my film of the year and one of the best big budget blockbusters I’ve seen on the big screen in the last 20 years. What a triumph this film turned out to be.

The script definitely has depth and subtlety, and it is no wonder that the less intelligent among us would mistake that for "no plot" and "corny jokes."

reply

You hated this movie before it was even released , hace you even aeen i? Its a fantastic movie , has everything including a good story arc.

reply

also...c'mon, don't be like that. would it kill you to get in the spirit of the day and be a little polite?

reply

They've done this before. Did it for Endgame and probably Infinity War too

They were gifted a charity nomination for Black Panther and have trying to get that validation again

This movie was better than both Endgame and Black Panther IMO. But I doubt it'll get any noms in the creative categories. Best Picture is the only hope because it allows up to 10

Forget it! Imdb rating dropped below 9.0. Only #13 and plummeting.
