technically with IW being set 2 years after homecoming... who says spider man 2 takes place present day.. it could be after civil war like antman and wasp.. hell.. captain marvel coming 3 months before IW but its set in the 90s
OK, I'll admit I was wrong here. I've seen this movie 4 times. I think my initial review was based on denial. Psychologically, I was clinging to rationality in order to cope with the ending. I think I was being so stubborn in my refusal to feel any type of emotion that it made me overly critical. At least that's the story I'm sticking to.
Based on number of rewatches and the way it holds up on rewatches, I'm upgrading my rating from a 7.5 to a 9
Here's why:
- my initial assessment that the ending was cheap was situated in light of my knowledge of who had contracts coming up and what movies had already been greenlighted. If I didn't know all of that, the ending is pretty bold and devastating.
- if I'm gonna commit to that then the moments of humor were much needed to balance out the weight of the ending
- really brilliant character moments done very deftly with a few words or action. Not easy to do
I still think
they milked Peter's death. Dude gave a speech. Even on rewatches it feels manipulative and heavy handed
and that the final battle was disappointing, particularly the lack of Wakanda tech used, but it wasn't so disappointing that it detracted from the overall accomplishment of pulling together such an epic story with so much characters so seamlessly.

I got hulk, I knew I would. I fukk with Hulk heavy *pause* and the person that said this Spider-Man sucks, this is EASILY the best Spider-Man they have gotten, and homecoming was the only Spider-Man movie that was any good. I resisted seeing homecoming until like 2 months ago because I have hated all the ones they have done so far, but I couldn’t believe how good the new one was.
