I saw Spider-Man Homecoming. It was okay.
I really like Tom Holland's performance. It's light years ahead of the Andrew Garfield version of the character, though I prefer the Raimi/Tobey version of the character. And every scene with him is an absolute delight, he's got charisma n more importantly, some energy to his performance. What I think probably hurts the movie most is that the character arc n overall story told is some bog standard shit. Even the villain isn't all that interesting, even though the set up totally should be and thematically should bring a point home. But, not really.
And the moment to moment writing maybe overkills it on the jokes, but I laughed so who really gives a shit? namasayin. But The actual story arc did nothing for me, and the action itself was pretty underwhelming. Doesn't help that I've been watching a lot of fun action flicks lately, and saw Baby Driver last week.
Overall the movie is aight, with a fun lead.

Andrew was good. blame the script. and you prefer Raimi version? oh lord.
Garfield is plenty good as an actor, but I'm saying I don't care for the character from Amazing Spiderman.
And yeah, for starters I'm not beholden to the whole "Spiderman needs to shit talk" just like in the grand scheme of things it doesn't bother me that Nolan's Batman isn't all that much of a "detective". It's not as essential to me about the character. Amazing Spiderman's parker came off as a prick.
Raimi/Tobey's version comes off overwhelmed and has more compelling character arcs in both of his Spiderman films (fuck 3, obviously). Tom Holland's has more energy and does the witty remarks in a manner that is fun, and not a dickwagon so he's probably more in line with the ideal comic character was or whatever, but as fun as the movie was, didn't care all that much for the character arc in the movie.
I certainly am not bothered by Mcguire having a double chin.
