I walked away from this movie overall disappointed. Its not a bad movie but anyone who knows a thing or two about Spider-Man saw how this movie was gonna pan out. The end of the movie and the post credits scenes were more interesting than the majority of the movie.

Because its an action film and a comic book film before its a "coming of age teen comedy".:comeon:. So for you to pretty much trash it based on everything that would make it good comic book movie,but still applaud it because you simply can't just say its a bad Spiderman movie?very "fanboy" like. I guess we have to compare this to The Wonder Years instead of great comic book movies:respect:
:francis:

For me bro, just speaking for me. As a spiderman movie it was ok. Nothing overly dope aside from a few scenes. The movie was more engaging as a comedy for me. Probably because I'm over this super hero shyt right now. I enjoyed the Mysterio shyt especially after the reveal which you could see a mile away anyway.

Movie was spider man 3 level trash until the obvious Myserio villian reveal.

Movie wouldve been MUCH better if they didnt use mysterio. Anyone who follows Spider-Man even at the basic level knows hes a villain so it was ridiculously obvious.

HC had a way better twist.

Just saw it. It was a dope ass movie .

Imo, the could still possibly have a mysterio in a sinister 6 somewhere down the line. Mysterios team of ex-stak worker is still out there and any one of them could step up and rock the fish bowl helmet

I found it weird how they just acted like the black girl from the other movie never happened. Granted, considering who her dad was and that they're just teens, I didn't expect a happily ever after love story or anything. But Zendaya's character was clearly not interested in Peter in homecoming and Peter was equally uninterested. Fast forward now and it's all rainbows and butterflies. So inorganic. I get that Zendaya is somewhat of a big deal , although I don't know why she's so popular, but still...

Apparently there's a few deleted scenes and cuts, and one of the things cut from the movie was apparently a scene that would address the vulture and his daughter. It probably would've been something along the lines of them moving away and a short montage of peter getting more into mj after the daughter's out of the picture.

Here we go...


First of all, the theater was packed with fans. I arrived like 10 minutes before the showing and they were selling no more tickets. The place was as full as it was before Infinity Wars, which shocked me, since I believed that after Endgame, the excitation around the MCU would slow down a little bit as the casuals would jump off the hype train. I guess people really like Spider-Man. I bought a ticket for the next screening, went to eat somewhere with my friend, came back an hour early, and there were already some people sitting in front of the room waiting. That let me know in advance that the theater would be packed with real fans.

And that was the case:banderas: It was the best experience I ever had watching a movie in a theater, better than Black Panther and Infinity Wars. Everybody was picking up the references and dying laughing at the jokes, we were cheering non-stop (especially at the action scenes at the end…). The whole theater started singing at the intro scene when they showed the powerpoint of Iron Man and em :russ: I never saw an audience so engaged, everybody wanted to be there and enjoy the movie. Marvel gang Marvel family :blessed:


Speaking of the movie, the humor was hilarious. Like I already said here, Marvel really found the formula for making jokes since a couple of movies. The teacher who said his wife pretended to be erased to go with another breh for 5 years while he had a real funeral killed me :mjlol:


Peter’s class felt real, diverse like in the last one and full of different personalities. It felt like a real group of American teenagers trying to have fun during a European trip.


This side of the story, and the whole thing with MJ and his plan to get with her was very well done, very cute :dame: and realistic as well. Brehs were happy as hell when they kissed at the end :russ:I remember going through the exact same things in school :wow:



Now the villain, Mysterio. I didn’t know Jake Gyllenhaal would play him so that was a nice surprise (I go blind to every movie I know for sure I will see, so no trailers). They did a little pump fake in the beginning making it look like he was teaming up with what I believed was Sand-Man so I was a little worried they went the Spider-Man 3/The Amazing Spider-Man 2 routes (having several villains in one movie). Then when it was revealed he was an ally I thought they were going to go the Doc Oct route, making him lose his mind at some point and then become a nemesis. I’m glad none of it was the case and that they just made him a power-hungry liar. I was confused at first about how his illusions worked and had so many questions, but the movie made a great job explaining it in my opinion. And the big plus was that his methods were so faithful to the original material. He was a masterful deceiver using technology and prestidigitation to confuse and mislead. And even tricking the viewer himself by putting illusions in other illusions and that was fire. Making an illusion of Fury getting tricked by an illusion was flames even if you could pick up on it, but the last one where he pretended to get shot by his own drone to finish Spider-Man was clever as hell. All that made him a great foe for Spider-Man. The fact that he didn’t work alone, he had a team, and that him and his crew were from previous movies was also cool. Could have had better motives but eh.



Another point I really liked was that these Spider-Man movies really took notes from the Raimi trilogy when it comes to the adversity Spider-Man faces. He takes real ass beatings, takes a train in the face, gets set aflame, shot, knocked out and struggles to even survive. What that accomplishes is that you really feel like he has to overcome, and that he gets challenged as a hero and as a person. It also makes him feel way closer with the audience as he is not an invincible being for which everything is easy and doable.



I usually don’t like action movies where the hero must face an army of mindless identical enemies (Age of Ultron, first Avengers…:mjpls:) but I was not bothered at all in this one as I feel it served the best action sequences ever seen in a Spider-Man movie since Raimi. The first fight with Mysterio was breathtaking, it felt like a HD ghost train, illusions on illusions on illusions and the special effects were great. But the second fight in London made the theater go nuts :krs: It kept on giving. The way he was surviving and taking down drones was too flames. The last sequence where he finally can use his Spider sense and starts brutally taking down invisible drones…:ohlawd: Sheeiiit as a fan of Spider-Man I was just taking it all in like :blessed:



As far as the scenario and Peter Parker’s segment in particular when it comes to being a hero and a teenager at the same time after going head to head with a menace such as Thanos… In all honesty I felt like they kept it very surface level. At first, I was like oh, this has some potential. Spidey doesn’t want to do this anymore and this is very understandable and realistic. Breh was blipped for 5 years and basically vanished in his mentor arms, then his mentor died in front of him to save everyone, and people are putting on his shoulders the responsibility to take next as a highschooler… It’s not like anything he has seen before and his normal life seems way sweeter than risking his life and eventually dying like Iron Man to kill some purple mf. Unfortunately, they didn’t really delve into it, and the resolution with Happy’s speech was unsatisfying in my opinion. Maybe had they gone deeper it would have seemed like Spider-Man 2 all over again since the themes are so close. I don’t know. But it could have been better on this part.



Besides that, the story was very coherent, everything I doubted was explained at some point. How the illusions worked, the change in bus tour itinerary, Fury that gets fooled by a basic ass villain like Mysterio (it was the kree…).



All in all, the movie was full of fan service and kept on giving. I feel like Marvel really wants to please the fans and that something that is to be appreciated. From the multiverse pump fake to the crazy action scenes, the reference to Spider-Man PS4 at the end a game that I love, even more swinging in NYC at the end, J Jonah Jameson (theater erupted), all the new suits…

The first after credit scene was :gucci:. Everybody was shocked. Where are they going with this? :mjtf:



Also, two things I noticed after the second viewing: wassup with Flash’s mom? :dahell: When he’s reading the texts with E.D.I.T.H you can see him trying to contact her but she’s giving no news and at the end he’s disappointed because she’s not here after he almost died. I get that they use it as a way to explain with he’s bully-like and thirsty for attention on social media, but I feel like we’re going to learn more about that in the next one. Also, bald dude downloaded the drone program real quick when Mysterio died so we can expect more illusions and teasing in the future :mjpls:
