Marvel Studios/Sony - SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING

[Chapter 2099]

Just returned.

Since WW is the best WB has to offer they still have a long way to go before catching up to the quality on display here.

Finally a Spidey movie that beats out Spiderman 1/2.

Don't get me wrong I like Raimi's first 2 movies they were charming due to their simplicity but I never thought they were perfect.

This is the best big movie of 2017 so far, I consider Logan a much smaller movie.

I really only had 1 problem with this movie and that was with the use of the word PORN in a Spiderman movie was that really necessary with all the kids that are going to be watching this. The joke wasn't even funny so using that word was wasted while still causing problems.

My son as well as the kids behind me asked what porn meant.

Very stupid move by Marvel and Sony to put that in there and i'm no prude.

Other than that the big final battle was very difficult to follow because it took place at night with fast cuts and character movements.

Who would've ever thought a silly looking comic book villain would be one of the best in the MCU go figure.

Great ending before going to the credits loved it.

Glad to hear you approved!!! I'm likin' what I'm hearing about the reviews.

Tell them that porn is a kind of asian broccoli or a kind of onion

You will never hear them speak of it ever again

I saw a 7 PM showing tonight and I have to say: "THE STREAK CONTINUES! Logan, Guardians, Wonder Woman, and now, Spider-Man; if Thor and JL can, by some miracle, deliver, this'll be one for the angels. Honestly, though? I'll echo my sentiments that I posted on Facebook earlier in saying that Spider-Man: Homecoming is, truly, a homecoming in the best of ways. It's crazy to me that it took Sony this long to get the bright idea to let Marvel do what they do best, and let me just say: Marvel was doing what they do best in every sense of the word with this one. It was everything you'd hope a Spider-Man movie would be; it was amazing, it was spectacular, and it was Spider-Man.

From here on out, I'll use spoiler tags, so as not to ruin it for anybody:

Spoiler:

Where to begin...it's amazing to me just how much world building this movie accomplished, for one thing. I'll start with the part of the movie I was most pleased with, and it should come as no surprise to anyone that, hands down, that was Michael Keaton as The Vulture. The Vulture of the comics has always seemed like a bit of a joke to me. Some Geriatric in a skintight bodysuit and a Liza Minnelli Feather Boa flying around the city stealing ****; of all of Spidey's Rogue's Gallery, he always struck me as one of Webhead's weaker villains.

That being said, this is precisely what great writing and amazing casting can do for a role. Keaton made Toomes, arguably, the most compelling villain to grace the MCU. His motivations were clearly defined, he was sympathetic, and, in some ways, even, admirable, but, when the chips were down and the claws came out, he would **** your life, if it came down to it, and the introduction of Damage Control and the way they were introduced was absolutely brilliant, because it does not at all seem out of character for Tony Stark to pull that ****. We have, going on, 9 years of him acting like a ******** and screwing things up for people to fall back on, and seeing it from Toomes' perspective, honestly? **** Civil War with Team Cap and Team Iron Man. This is a way more compelling Civil War and, me? I'm Team Vulture, all the way.

In many ways, the death of Shocker was kind of a turning point and, honestly, you actually felt really bad when it happened. It's that point of no return for Toomes and the worst part is that, at the end of the day? It was an accident. Considering everything up to that point was him taking care of these guys as if they were extensions of his own family, and him thinking it was the anti-gravity gun, I don't think he had any intention of actually killing him, but, at the same time, as the movie showed, he'll go to any lengths to take care of his own.

And that "dad talk" was absolutely fantastic. It shows just how sympathetic he is, in many ways. He knows Peter's just a kid, and he knows he's a good kid. Yeah, he threatened to kill him and everyone he loved, but the opportunity he was presenting him? Go be a teenager, ignore this stuff that's above your pay grade, and I'll still let you date my daughter? And the thing of it is that there wasn't an ounce of duplicity in the offer; he was laying his cards on the table: "walk away and have a happy life." No superhero in the history of comic book movies will ever be offered a better deal than that.

Hell, even by the end of the film, he's still looking out for Peter, and words cannot describe how happy I was that they didn't waste such a compelling villain with yet another "he knows his secret, he has to die" Spider-Man trope. I also loved the twist. It came out of nowhere, for me, at least. The whole time, I was sort of building up this idea that he was Zendaya's dad from internet rumors and stuff like the Avengers drawing and her love of sketching and then, when he opens that door, you're just like "whaaaat?"

Looking at it now, though: this is the bridge that Marvel needs to connect the Netflix series with the MCU. That post-credits sequence with Toomes and Gargan? I could easily see these characters interacting with D'onofrio's Kingpin or showing up in an episode of one of the Netflix series; hell, even the stuff with Peter in that deli felt, tonally, like the same sort of down to earth character interaction that you'd see in Daredevil or Luke Cage. It felt like a very real neighborhood, and, on that note, it really reinforced that idea of the "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man."

Tom Holland was fantastic. He's got just the right amount of naïveté while still being intelligent and capable as both Parker and Spider-Man, and they did an excellent job of showcasing how he juggles both those sides of his life and how he's still very much growing up. I can't count how many times I felt a huge grin creep across my face. I'll be honest and pretty much say it was continuous from the moment Toomes met the Damage Control people, right through to Giacchino's rendition of the classic Spidey theme over the Marvel Studios logo, and, from there, pretty much every second of the movie until the end credits.

Which, that post-credits scene...I'd almost be pissed if I weren't so damn amused. I feel like I could gush about far more, but, to be honest, it's late and I'm too tire to continue this train of thought.

Loved it. Everything about it. The immense amount of worldbuilding that Marvel made seem effortless, Keaton was wonderful as Vulture, all of the kids were great. Loved seeing Iron Man's supporting cast again and I love all the "twists" in the final act. I'm sure some people will have problems with one of them, but I'm now sold on that idea. I thought Guardians was a bit stronger but this is every bit as good as Wonder Woman(which I also loved).

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'm probably gonna see this again just so I can catch all of the Easter eggs

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah great stuff they really knocked it out the park.

Don't get me wrong Raimi Spiderman 1/2 is a nice standalone representation of the Spiderman No More story but this was Spiderman unleashed.

lolol

Oh man let me get a coffee for this one lol

[FONT=.SF UI Text][FONT=.SFUIText]I went into this only knowing 1 out of the 4 spoilers so I was floored by the other 3 especially the big one. [/FONT][/FONT]

Very smart how they hid it.

When that Marvel logo kicked in I was pumped lol

RDJ is a true movie star that dude just owns the screen I never get tired of watching him.

Spiderman was fkn AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just in case any of you are looking for another endorsement, wow. I think the hype is right. Its probably the BEST marvel movie so far. Like they just killed it. Theater was clapping at the end.

 

[Einur]

Re: Spiderman was fkn AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved it!! Really awesome movie)

 

[Chakor]

Saw it last night. Gonna throw in my quick two cents.

I liked pretty much everything I saw. I loved all of the throwbacks to the first Avengers movie, especially the flashback at the beginning. Keaton was easily my favorite part of the film, and I would have never seen the big twist with him coming. This was definitely a better movie than Civil War in terms of Spider-Man himself. However, Raimi's Spider-Man 1 is still the definitive Spider-Man movie for me.

7/10

 

[Neal136]

A minor inconsistency that kinda bothered me...

Spoiler:

It was stated that this took place 8 years after The Avengers, but in Civil War, Vision said it had been 8 years since Tony announced himself as Iron Man. Since this is only a couple months after CW, wtf!? lol

Not a big deal but that's how my brain works

Yeah, I noticed that right away, too.

Spoiler:

Seeing that the movie starts right after the Chitauri invasion of New York (which took place in 2012) and then jumps to the events of Civil War (2016), it should've said "4 years later", not 8. Oh well. It's not a huge deal, but it will bother my OCD.

But anyway, I really loved this movie. The entire cast was great (especially Holland and Keaton), the movie was genuinely funny, and I'm so glad to have Spidey take his rightful place within the MCU. I liked the movie enough that I watched it twice last night (once in IMAX 3D, once in digital 2D), and though my ass is dragging this morning at work, I don't regret that decision at all.
I can't wait to see it again.

I'm taking my family to see it on Tuesday at 7 PM. Hope all the positive buzz is for real. It's been years since a good Spidey movie has been released. I will say that they picked the right actor to play Spidey. Every time I hear him speak, that's what Peter sounded like in my mind when I read Spidey comics as a kid. My family is very excited to see this.

All the more impressive since he has a british accent.

Very true.

 

[chewblacca]

Seeing this Sunday. Can't wait. I usually see the new comic book flicks within the first day or so, but a family get together spoiled it this time. This looks really good and the fact that so many on here liked it has me even more excited for it.

 

[jye4ever]

The film is much better than those crappy trailers lead you to believe.

 

[chewblacca]

Even better!

 

[ironwez20]

Bout to see this baby in an hr

The trailers are a complete red herring
