Beware of spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Empire Magazine seems to indicate two additional cameos in the movie that I would say are rather spoilery. It's a long way until Dec 17, but if you want to be surprised you should try to avoid any articles involving the movie.
"According to the magazine, Rhys Ifans' Lizard (Dr. Curt Connors) from The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as Thomas Haden Church's Sandman (Flint Marko) from Spider-Man 3 will be joining the growing list of villains in No Way Home."

Spider-Man: No Way Home: Two More Classic Villains Confirmed to Return - IGN
According to a new report, two more Spider-Man movie villains from previous franchises are poised to return for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
That's too bad. I wasn't excited when it was announced but the trailers got me excited to see it.
I've heard mixed reviews. Some big Marvel nerds love it. Some are just ok with it.
It's very different from the Avengers era of Marvel movies so some people have had to readjust their expectations.
I've been told it is gorgeous but also pretty ambitious in scope.
The main actual criticism I've heard is that they didn't like jumping back and forth from flashback to present day. That it hurt the pacing.
I feel like I'm going to love it, and my wife who is less into Marvel will get bored with it or not be able to follow it.
In short, don't expect a perfect movie, because that's not what it is, but still a good movie.

There are hints out there about some review bombing or whatever. Saw it in passing.
With a diverse cast and all, that wouldn't surprise me.
This seems unlikely as the bad reviews are coming from critics not fans. Sitting at 61% on rotten tomatoes and 55 on Metacritic among critics.

Eternals Review Bombed on IMDB Before Film's Release
Most audiences have not seen the movie.
It'll definitely be review bombed in this country. It's all the things a certain segment just won't accept.
It's gonna be a love it or hate it movie. Given the director and how she films and how she always has emotions at the forefront, I personally think it's gonna be my favorite MCU movie ever...which won't be hard because IMO all MCU movies are basically the same formula and I find most of them painfully boring and dull. And while there are definitely some that hate it, many critics I follow say this is hands down the best MCU movie and it's not close. I'm going next Thursday too, can't wait.

Before everybody gets off their Eternals takes, and this is kind of old news, somebody categorized the chronological timeline of every SCENE in the MCU. Massive spoilers if you’re currently watching obviously.
And of course, some enterprising fellow already created the supercut.

Anyone planning on seeing Eternals tonight? Unusual for me, I'm likely not to see it until next Tuesday probably. Also unusual for me, I'm not even that disappointed. Everything about this movie so far has just kind of sucked every last ounce of excitement out of things for me. At this point, its just about seeing it for myself and maybe it will change my mind.
Good lord! I wish I had that kind of time for something inanely pointless as those dudes did. Alas, I will just have to spend what time I do have free to discuss movies on the internet.
Off to Eternals tonight. We'll see if the anti-hype is true. I'm pretty forgiving for a lot of these movies though as long as I'm entertained. Thor 2 is still the biggest turd of the bunch, but even it has grown on me over the years. I just can't see any movie being that bad.
