So bad on so many levels...

The whole thing is a YA Last Airbender type fantasy with Peter Parker as a Marty Stu. Only Petey Parker can save the galaxy from the evil baddie-of-the-week. Nick Fury of NOT-SHIELD knows that only Petey can save the day, but will he be able to pass his trigonometry exam, keep his girlfriend happy AND save the world?

The Blip: so, the population of the planet has suddenly doubled, but hey, a few fundraisers, and suddenly there'll be enough food, housing, medical facilities, etc. for everyone.

Speaking of which, the whole point of Aunt May and Uncle Ben living in Queens is that they are Spidey's FAMILY - they live in a HOUSE. Not an apartment. Aunt May is a substitute mother to Peter Parker - not an Italian older sister with a slammin' ass. Let me be clear: I should not want to fuck Aunt May.

btw, how many years is high school? Because 5 years later all their classmates are still their classmates...

Nightmonkey has fingerless gloves? So... they don't have fingerprints on Earth 616? Of course, why would the tailor for a super secret spy outfit know about the need to hide fingerprints?

It's MYSTERIO. We KNOW he's a villain.

Spider-man is not supposed to be a whiny little bitch.

Terrible movie. I don't even call holland spidey. He should be called iron kid

Yeah, I meant to mention the whole Iron Man dead mentor thing. Spider-man is not a joiner and has no mentor. That's an integral part of the character.

I didn't think it was possible for the MCU to have worse scripts, directing and acting than the Thor and Captain Marvel films, yet they really outdid themselves here

I just caught a few brief scenes. I'll add the real Times Square giant screen TV has no sound unlike the movie version. That scene only adds to the overdramatic nonsense.

[–] clashwho (758) 3 years ago

The real Times Square also doesn't have a giant battle between Spider-Man and Mysterio in it.

[–] Keelai (36123) 3 years ago

I enjoy fictitious characters placed in a realistic setting like Superman (1977).

Can you imagine the loud speaker playing 24/7 keeping residents awake and overwhelming area businesses and outdoor areas? It's too stupid an idea.

[–] clashwho (758) 3 years ago

I think Superman was 1978. As for your point: Fair enough. Seems like a minor quibble that could be easily chalked up to dramatic license, but that's just me.

[–] Keelai (36123) 3 years ago

Close enough - I couldn't google to verify earlier.

Definitely dramatic license, but it makes the scene sillier than it should be. Too many unrealistic moments make for a mediocre movie like the OP has shown.

Another reason this movie kinda sucked is because there was no point in having Peter's fat friend hook up with MJs nerdy friend, only for them to break it off at the end.

[–] clashwho (758) 3 years ago

I think it's the best of the Marvel movies. Opinions, eh?

[–] HelpMeRhonda (1158) 3 years ago

I didn't think it was emotionally gripping enough to be considered the best. I mean, it was an okay superhero movie. It had as good as writing as something you'd see on the Sci-Fi Channel. The action, SFX, and acting were good.

[–] clashwho (758) 3 years ago

Battlestar Galactica was on the Sci-Fi channel, so I'll take that as a compliment. As a fan of Spider-Man since I was a wee lad in the 1980s, I was particularly thrilled with how faithful they were to the Mysterio character.

[–] WhereIsRent (1092) 3 years ago

Same here. When I saw the illusion scene I was just like ‘Now that is Mysterio’

They did an amazing job, it could have been really silly in less capable hands.

[–] HelpMeRhonda (1158) 3 years ago

Yeah Mysterio was fine.

Thanks for this review , now i'm definitely not watching this in cinema , if i'm in the mood maybe i'll watch a pirated copy in a few months.

[–] clashwho (758) 3 years ago

This is about the 2019 film. Good luck finding it in cinema in 2021.

[–] bozo_500 (13384) 3 years ago

this is by 'far' the worst SM film

[–] clashwho (758) 2 years ago

I think it's the best Spider-Man film. The first two Raimi films are great, too.
