Done right? WTF does that mean? I doubt you even understand why Peter was crying or feeling miserable in Spider-Man or Spider-Man 2, you fanboys are so fcking ignorant.

Let's not play the assumption game here; let's argue like men shall we? I understand why he was crying and feeling miserable but the dialogue and acting kinda ruins what depth there was.

FYI I loved Spider Man 2 equally with Homecoming and liked Homecoming slightly more than Spider Man I'm not a biased fanboy, it's just that Homecoming was far more faithful to the comics than any previous Spidey movie so as a person who grew up reading Spider Man comics it was more enjoyable than Raimi's Spider Man movies despite it being equal in quality to the second one.

I don't think Homecoming was closer to the comics than the previous films. I would say that Tom Holland has the potential to be the best and most comic accurate Spidey but everything else in the film was pretty far off. So many important missing elements. No spider sense. No J. Jonah Jameson. No photography hobby. No longer being an independent loner whose secret identity wasn't known by anyone. No making his own costume and NOT having a Stark tech suit that never shuts up.

The supporting cast in this movie could not have been more different from their comic book counterparts. "MJ" goes from a fun and energetic redhead bombshell to a whiny emo outcast. Flash in the comics was an arrogant muscular jock and football hero, not a nerdy weirdo with a potty mouth. He's supposed to be the antithesis of Peter Parker, his polar opposite. Here they were so similar, I don't even see why they were enemies. Sure he had more screentime and a bigger role to play than the Flash in previous Spidey films but that's not really relevant. If the bullies in my school looked and acted like the Homecoming version of Flash, I would have kicked their asses. Aunt May goes from an elderly and nurturing woman who somewhat dependent on Peter to a young fox who could easily find some wealthy man to take care of her. Quite a departure there.

i enjoyed this movie for the most part, and Holland and Keaton were both great, but it's pretty far off from the source material.
