Absolutely loved it. It's the most like comic Spider-Man that MCU Spider-Man has felt yet. And it's amazingly, deeply emotional.
I'd like to see more MCU movies like this. Not everything has to be about saving the world; sometimes it's enough to save a life and find yourself along the way.
One of the best Spider-Mans, if not the best.
Yeah tom is really comic accurate he recreatwd all popular spiderman cover has more comic villain like the hand or damage control or scorpion and savage hulk
I think it was probably my favourite of the MCU Spider-Men. Had a lot of stuff I enjoyed from these movies.
Copying my comment from another thread:
Just saw it, I thought it was mediocre and really lacking, it was more like half a movie with lots of unresolved plot lines compared to the last 3 spiderman movies.
Movie Spoilers
Why would they introduce Jean and then not resolve her plot line... At all? She starts the movie on the run, looks for her sister, realizes she's dead, then goes back to being on the run. It didn't really feel like we accomplished anything.
Also, the twist of her not being the villain is CRAZY to me because she was insanely evil and spent most of the movie messing with spiderman, threatening to kill his girlfriend, possessing multiple people and making them attempt suicide, and causing untold damage... only for the movie to end with "actually she's a really nice person deep down inside?" What??? She was blatantly evil and sadistic, and now she's just cool and misunderstood?
Half of the plot is just spiderman getting the confidence to re-introduce himself to his friends. I totally get why they're doing it and it's nice that they reconnect in a believable way... But it's just such a boring plot idea. The whole emotional core of the movie is just "guy connects with characters he used to be friends with last movie".
The Hand is also just hanging out in New York and it's never explained or resolved. Spiderman's powers freaking out is never resolved but I guess it's just implied he gets over it now that he has friends again. Jean Gray baits you into thinking they're introducing mutants to the MCU but they never do. The director guy was supposedly left alive but we never see if anything happened to him...? Did they just let him go with zero consequences?
So much wasted potential and wasted time. Everything was kinda half assed. The only thing I can really say I liked was the direction, it felt a lot more dynamic and less flat than the other Tom Holland spiderman movies. I loved the swinging scenes. Everything else? Bleh.
Hm iam too lazy to read this
Ok
First half was great. I loved the swinging through the city just hearing the wind, no BGM.
Unfortunately they copied the ending from Thunderbolts (was done a little better, but still not a very good one imo).
My only thought is it was an interesting way to write out Mark Ruffalo's Hulk.
How does it write out Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk? Ruffalo was still Savage Hulk too.
I dunno, I just keep expecting Disney to drop Ruffalo for being outspoken on, well, a lot of issues. They've replaced actors before, and they could time this for such a thing, or that's how it read to me with him being carted away.
Like, Hulk disappears, and when he comes back its a different actor.
Disney literally made an entire movie (Captain Marvel) about an IDF soldier deprogramming herself and defecting from the IDF after learning of the (space)Palestinians’ plight. The money people do not know or even care
Snot here might be getting at how Ruffalo wasn't involved in the press tour for the movie, which more politically engaged fans saw as a snub from Disney. If the studio throws his character back into a CGI Savage Hulk then it could be a lot easier to get rid of Ruffalo entirely.
I take your point on Captain Marvel but Disney is in bed with Trump
