For a while there Marvel tried the novel approach of making really good movies based on comic books. The Guardian movies in particular were outstanding. But it looks like they decided to go in a different direction.

I like going to the movies and seeing a fun movie. I don’t like watching torture porn, movies about how white people were really mean to minorities 70+ years ago, talking animal cgi for brainrot ipad children, or the women in colorful dresses and posh accents cheating on their husbands movie de jure. I want to be entertained, and I would appreciate a few laughs. Since Hollywood largely stopped making ensemble comedies and buddy action comedy movies 10 years ago, quippy comic book films are just about the only things that occasionally fill that niche.

In addition, Spiderman was my favorite character as a kid. The stories of a kid grappling with responsibilities, family, work, relationships, and trying to do right for his community really struck a chord with young me. The movies are mostly good, and occasionally great. Spiderman 2 with Toby McGuire is a masterpiece, and all the Tom Holland Spiderman movies have been solid. Even the Andrew Garfield ones are “so bad it’s good”.

Sometimes, it’s fun to watch a flawed sweet kid with adult problems wear a colorful suit, swing around NYC, punch bad guys, and try to get the girl for a couple of hours. It ain’t complicated.

Great movie. Felt mature. Was worried about the tone in the initial teaser and trailer but it nails an emotionally out of it spiderman and detached Peter. Will watch again.

Can't put a true score yet but easily 8 of 10 minimum.

Think im at:

No Way Home
Brand New Day
Homecoming

Far From Home

Love them all tbh but I'm biased cuz I fricking love Spiderman

Bernthal was the highlight of the film


Yeah, ill seco d that.

Just walked out with my family. I'd give it a solid 7.5

Too many lulls in the story for my liking, but i enjoyed it overall. To be fair there were several loose ends that needed to be tied up that it had to tackle.

Just got out of the theater, saw it in 3D (which was a mistake, would not suggest as it made the film itself too dark at times and didn't add much of anything).

The storyline was decent, felt a little anti-climactic at the end and some of the pacing could've been better. It leaned on less action and more of a deep dive into the psychology of being Spiderman in a world where nobody remembered him, and how Peter was coming to grips with it. What action there was, was very well choreographed and CGI fantastic.

Also not as much humor in this one as the previous entries.

I can't discuss it too much more without spoilers so I'll just leave it at this: it's definitely worth seeing if you're a fan of Spiderman or the MCU, for someone that isn't a big fan it'll feel very "meh" as it doesn't work well as a standalone "fun summer action" film.

ETA: the post credits scene (there's only one and it's about 5 seconds) isn't worth sticking around for. Just read the spoiler description of it, as it's already been revealed what it means and the scene itself is worthless.

Just got out as well and I'll post more thoughts later when someone makes a spoiler thread. Honestly my favorite Spidey film along with Spider-Man 2 and certainly my favorite MCU Spidey film. Punisher had surprisingly more screen time than I thought which was a big plus

Also can't wait to see more of Sadie in the MCU always nice to see ST actors migrate to the MCU hopefully Dacre or Joe come over soon as well

Just got out as well. Ditto. Very good and so many payoffs.

Theater was full for the 4:10 showing.

Thinking about taking my 4.5 year old, he has been into Spider-Man for a while. What do you guys think?


If he’s a fan he’ll love it. Still has the light tone of the other movies but some serious themes. Also, minor bit of language.

Yeah, I'm not taking a 4.5 year old to a movie that has bad language. I was fine taking my 12 year old nephew, but 4.5 is probably too young for a PG-13 movie imo.

First thing I encountered when I turned to walk up the steps today at my theater was a husband and wife struggling to carry a stroller up the steps. They were accompanied by two other kids that were probably 4-5. They all surprisingly stayed quiet throughout the movie (the baby in the stroller could have left at some point), but I was shocked.
