"Spider-Man Homecoming" early reactions - generally good...

X2 wasn't that good, it's just that back in 2003 there wasn't much competition. And nowadays it's got nostalgia blinding people.

Same with SM2 to an extent, it's hardly the perfect film it's made out to be.

As for Logan, critics went easy on it because it was Jackman's swan song and because they had the "guts" to kill him in the end (cowardly, waiting until some film set in the future to do this).

As for Dark Knight, it also had little competition and had a special something that protected it from negative critics. And no, it wasn't any acting.
