26. "great, ovreall better than Homecoming (full review)"
In response to In response to 0


          

The mid-credit and post-credit scenes are great.

Like Homecoming it's refreshing and doesn't just feel like it's meant to set up another Avengers movie or some greater scale story arc.

Jake Gyllenhaal has certainly come a long way from Donnie Darko. He's really good in this. Mysterio is a character that could easily come off as cheesy, but he makes it work.

Tom Holland is simply the best Spiderman/Peter Parker we've seen so far. He's a teenager, and he occasionally makes bad choices. He has amazing powers, but he still doesn't quite know how to use them. He can be wise cracking as Spiderman, but also an awkward kid as Peter. They never outright say the old line, "with great power comes great responsibility" but they show it as over and over Peter learns what happens when he's irresponsible with the powers he has or is given.

The rest of the cast does a good job, and this time around Martin Starr is (rightfully) given much more to work with and shows his comedic chops.

For once, the love story doesn't feel rushed or phoned in. It's helpless puppy love, and you can see why MJ would be into Peter just as much as Peter is into her. Yay MJ isn't just a flat character to exist only as a love interest--she has personality.

The chemistry between Fury and Spiderman is good to. If Iron Man was a father figure to Spiderman, Fury is like the gym teacher that doesn't really have time for Spiderman's bullshit.

Overall A-. It inevitably can't match an epic movie like Endgame, but as a movie that serves as both an action movie and a teen comedy, the stakes are low and it nails it.

May 07th 2019
I could see Venom crossing over one condition....

More fun than Homecoming, but it was a little flabby

A little disappointed, honestly. It's charming but SO weightless.

It is virtually impossible to create high enough stakes following Endgam...
Jul 05th 2019

I think he meant more that this movie really had no stakes
Jul 05th 2019

      Yep, cosign all of that.

These Spiderman movies are high school dramas tho
Jul 06th 2019

      But that's my problem. We hardly get those stakes either.
Jul 07th 2019

           I think that's a Marvel issue, not a Spiderman movie issue
