71Kernel Score — Generally Favorable, 0 reviews
The Kernel take
A 71 Metascore on a $200M budget isn't terrible, but the $1.9B gross suggests audiences were far more enthusiastic than critics; Spider-Man: No Way Home cleared its investment roughly ten times over, a reminder that summer blockbusters don't need critical consensus to dominate the box office.
Director track record: Jon Watts
Spider-Man: No Way Home (71) sits well above Jon Watts's own 62-point average across 5 scored films — a strong result for him — but trails his best-reviewed work, Spider-Man: Homecoming (73).
Lead track record: Tom Holland
The film (71) sits well above Tom Holland's own 56.8-point average across 18 scored films — one of his best-reviewed works to date — but falls short of his peak, Avengers: Endgame (78).
