Better than Tobey 1 and 3. As good as Tobey 2, but more fun.

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

I am not a big MCU fan like a lot of people find that about half of the MCU movies are either ok/bad so my expectations were not that high but I just got back from Spider-Man homecoming and yeah it was epic! By far the runniest Spider-Man movie yet! A part like right out of the comics happened towards the end and something happened towards the end that made things interesting. Also a lot of Grown up humor that I was not expecting at all. Liked the school stuff they did and I was not expecting that has I have said I wish they would let Spider-Man grow up already. Vulture was a really good villain and i was not expecting that has he is one of spiderman's worst villains.Cant want for the sequel and have got to see this movie again! Not sure were I would rank it on superhero movies need to see it again before I can really say but like by far my 2nd favorite Spider-Man movie!

Getting harder to make these kind of list. I need to watch Logan, WW, Spider-Man Homecoming, Doctor strange, Cap Civil war, Xmen DOFP, Cap winter solder all again before I can make a really good list. After those 20 I don't know what I would put next. It is getting harder because over all CBM are just getting better and better.

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

Wonder Woman is my favorite comic book movie of all time. After that it's hard to say. I would have to really sit down and figure it out.

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

Of mine definitely include The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Spider-Man 2, Logan, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

I have yet to see Wonder Woman, Homecoming, or GOTG 2.

No conflict for me. I liked this one better than any Spiderman movie.

This was a great film throughout with a superb final ten minutes.

Spoiler

The Tony Stark failed "rollout" and Aunt May's reaction at the end was priceless.

The action scenes were creative and kept the momentum going rather than sending the flick into a lull.

EDIT: Took me about ten minutes to figure out who one of Keaton's underlings was. It was Bokeem Woodbine (Mike Milligan) of Fargo fame minus the Afro or any hair for that matter.

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

Saw it today. Easy recommendation.

My only complaint

Spoiler

The trolling Captain America post-credits cameo

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

Saw it and loved it. I thought with Marvel's attempt they were going to "force" too much of the lightness that the SM character carries, but none of it felt forced at all (I thought it seemed only slightly out of place in Civil War). It all felt like a kid with super powers, which is exactly what this is of course. Tom Holland is Peter Parker, no question about it. Kid really nailed his performance.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 still takes the top billing for me, though. I thought that Peter's "disturbances" in that film were less forgiving by other characters than they are here, which built the drama between Peter and MJ or Peter and Harry that much more. This one obviously had moments to point at, but it seemed like they didn't carry much weight until somebody would finally bring it up eight scenes later (Liz, May, Tony, etc.).

Vulture was not my favorite villain, but he served this Marvel world well and Keaton's portrayal of the Adrian character was simply a force not to be reckoned with. I thought he was awesome, and it was really great to actually start with him. That being said, outside of Loki he is probably my favorite villain in the MCU (if the Winter Soldier doesn't count) because they simply haven't developed any other villains very well at all. However, as far as Spider-Man cinematic villains go, Dr. Octopus obviously takes the top billing for me.

This film is hilarious. I was dying laughing at certain scenes that I feel nobody else in the audience was laughing at, and I don't know why. Even parts near the end of the film had me in stitches (I think people know what I'm talking about). There were even things that I knew for sure characters were going to say, and when they delivered those lines that didn't make them any less hilarious. Zendaya probably had the funniest character of all.

Part of the hilarity of the film came from questions I always had like: "What if he flubbed a web-shooting?" or "What if he didn't have a building to sling from?" or "What if he ran out of webbing?" or "How does he equip his suit properly?" or "Does he have limits/fears of going too high?" I'm just glad they were aware of things like this and actually integrated them into part of the overall story.

I missed out on the 3D version, but honestly after watching it I'm not really sure what I'm missing out on (except maybe the monument scene). I thought some of the action shots were piss-poor to begin with and it was hard to see what was going on, and it would just make it harder in 3D. Not to mention a lot of it is nighttime action. I think I'm good holding off on the 3D stuff. On that note, in 2017 I thought the CGI stuff on long shots of Spider-Man flipping would look more realistic these days, but I guess this is the best that we'll get. I was somewhat unimpressed with the visuals of this film, so I'm glad that the story and characters made up for all of that.

If you are going into this film without seeing any of the other Marvel universe films, I'd recommend you watch The Avengers and Captain America: Civil War first (maybe even Iron Man if you're really pushing films to see). The reason I say all of this is because I'm going to tell my little sister that I saw this and liked it, and she'd ask if I should recommend it to her, to which point I'd probably say yes... but she hasn't seen those other films first. And honestly, as good as this film is, I think it only works best as it fits within the universe.

I'm not saying that this film can't be appreciated without seeing the others, but I think the others serve equally as good of cinematic value as this one. Why should someone see this film before Civil War? What greater purpose does that serve? Getting your Spider-Man fill? I guess, but then I think you're missing the larger picture. That's probably why I like SM2 the most; in the comic book movie lore, it serves as a piece of standalone art so well for me, that it's doing more than just adding to the painting. Same with something like The Dark Knight, and Logan.

I'll of course be adding this to the Blu-ray collection, and frankly with the way this film ended, I can't wait for the next time he shows up in a Marvel film, or his next standalone film.

Now, I have a timeline question I couldn't piece together. Maybe someone can answer it for me?

Spoiler

I might already be answering it in this first sentence, but as Happy was moving items upstate,
it made it seem like they haven't yet officially launched at their new HQ yet, but maybe they have. Haven't we already seen that place in Age of Ultron and Ant Man? Since Civil War certainly happens after those two films and SM:H happens after Civil War, why are they still transporting items from the original HQ to this one, as if it seems like they're still "working on moving there?"

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

Loved it! Saw it in 4dx and its always great to see Spidey and swing with him in the movie. Hilarious, loved Ned and Holland is perfectly casted. I didn't have a problem with Flash either.

Maybe the only gripes i had was that I wanted Spidey to be as athletic as Garfield Spidey, didnt think he moved as well as that version. Like the part he faced Lizard in the school. Also the action scenes were good but not epic like you would find inthe Raime films.

Overall i loved it and can't wait to see where this series goes.

Re: Spider-Man: Homecoming

I didn't recognize Jennifer Connelly's voice as the AI ("Karen") in Peter's suit.

Were these two things surprises to anyone else?

Spoiler

(1) The Vulture (Keaton) was Liz's father. I didn't see that coming.
(2) The dry, sarcastic Michelle had "MJ" initials which effectively designate her as Peter's future love interest without her being anything like Mary Jane Watson.

They both definitely were surprises, the first was way bigger than the second.

Spoiler

1. When Vulture was revealed to be Liz's dad, it was one of my bigger "oh ****" moments in a movie for me (on a list that includes Talia Al Ghul in the Dark Knight Rises). At first I thought Toomes knew who Spider-Man was, and went after his loved ones but it was cleared up pretty quickly.

2. Because of the rumors, it was some like "OMG" moment when she said her friends called her MJ but it was still pretty neat.

But I honestly got a couple goosebumps when Toomes opened the door, and the whole conversation during the car ride and before Pete got out of the car was SO much better because of it.
