I saw the first 3 MCU movies in the theaters, but they were so awful that I stopped watching MCU movies in theaters and had watched all MCU movies since then online. But with the hype surrounding Spider-Man: Homecoming, I decided to give it a chance and watch it in a theater. (Plus, I had to take my car in for emergency service and the theater is only a block from the service shop so I decided to sit in an air-conditioned movie theater for a couple of hours while my car was being serviced.) With the hype surrounding Spider-Man: Homecoming, I thought MCU might have finally made their 1st decent movie. But once again, the hype is just another case of an awful MCU movie being over-rated.
The movie is basically a high school comedy that uses the standard plot of a geeky and not very popular high school kid wanting to become part of the "cool crowd" (in this case, the "cool crowd" that Peter Parker wants to become a part of is The Avengers) but in the end realizes that he doesn't need to become part of the "cool crowd" after all. We've seen that standard plot done before and done better in Can't Buy Me Love as well as plenty of other high school movies.
And we've also seen several superheroes-in-high-school movies recently (e.g. Sky High, Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2, Max Steel, and Power Rangers). So nothing original here.
The 1st 10 minutes of the movie basically consists of shaky camcorder footage, like in The Blair Witch Project and Project Almanac. I hate shaky camcorder footage in movies because it always gives me vertigo. They spent $175 million to make this movie and the best they can do is give us 10 minutes of shaky camcorder footage? WTF?
Then the next 10 minutes consists of showing Peter Parker in physics class, then having lunch with his best friend at the geeks-only table, then in debate club, etc. We already know this movie is going to be a high school comedy. There's no need to waste 10 minutes of our time showing a day in the life of Peter Parker attending high school.
Did the Homecoming writers actually think that pushing together the 2 split halves of the ferry boat would stop the boat from sinking? And why did Iron Man just fly away after pushing the 2 split halves of the ferry boat together, without even checking if any of the passengers might be injured and need to be air-lifted to a hospital? And why were there cars on the Staten Island Ferry? Don't the writers know that cars haven't been allowed on the Staten Island Ferry after 9/11? And why doesn't Spider-Man have Spider-Sense in MCU? When Peter ditched Liz at the Homecoming dance and leaves the building, he gets ambushed outside by 1 of the bad guys. No way that should happen with Spider-Sense. So he definitely doesn't have Spider-Sense in MCU.
Also, the absurdity of the Washington Monument scene. The elevator of the Washington Monument gets blown up by a bomb that the fat kid had. DHS would've interrogated the fat kid about where he got the bomb and the fat kid would've been held in custody until he gave up Peter as the guy who gave him the bomb.
Then DHS would've investigated Peter and would've been suspicious as to why Peter at the last minute decided to re-join the Academic Decathlon after quitting the team earlier and travel with the team to Washington, D.C. only to skip out on the Decathlon competition and the skip out on the team's trip to the Washington Monument on the same day that his best friend blows up an elevator in the Washington Monument using a bomb that Peter gave him. And DHS would've gotten a warrant to search Aunt May's apartment.
Just more bad writing, as is usually the case in MCU movies.
In addition to the bad writing, SMH's shallow and uninspiring portrayal of Spider-Man's motivations make SMH the worst movie adaptation of Spider-Man ever. Without outright mentioning Uncle Ben's death, Peter being Spider-Man is reduced to a simple show-off. There's nothing driving him other than wanting to look cool and impress Tony Stark - and that's a shallow reason which betrays his true comic origins.
Superman is shown by Jor-El how he can unite the human and Kryptonian species and bring hope to Earth. Batman is driven by the death of his parents and vows to do everything in his power to stop crime in Gotham. Wonder Woman feels that it's her duty to end war and bring peace to Mankind.
Those are noble reasons which are inspiring. Spider-Man is in 1 of the 4 most iconic comic-book superheroes along with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. But his motivation for being Spider-Man in Homecoming isn't because he believes he has a "great responsibility" to use his powers for good (as he learned from his failure to prevent Uncle Ben's death when he could've) but simply because he's hoping to get a reply from Happy Hogan.
I didn't think it was possible to make a Spider-Man movie that's worse than the two Amazing Spider-Man movies, but MCU somehow managed to do that. SMH is even worse than the two Amazing Spider-Man movies. Rating: 1 out of 10. |

The movie started with a TV broadcast of the Chitauri invasion (in The Avengers) in 2012. Then in said "8 Years Later" and that's when the events of this movie begin. So is MCU saying that this movie actually takes place in the future, in 2020?

And why the hell was the gym teacher showing an instruction video of Captain America to his students? After Civil War, Captain America is a wanted criminal. No high school would allow a teacher to show an instruction video of a wanted criminal to students. It would be like a high school allowing the football coach to show members of the football team an instruction video of O.J. Simpson.

Like I said in my unbiased review, I hate shaky camcorder footage in movies because it always gives me vertigo. The worst case was Project Almanac. They had the shaky camcorder footage for the whole movie and it was giving me vertigo. I had to keep turning my eyes away from the screen because the shaking was making so dizzy that I felt like vomiting. I would've gotten up and left, but I stayed only because I wanted to know how the movie ended. When SMH started the movie with the shaky camcorder footage, I thought "OMG, I hope they don't do this shit for the whole movie. I'm starting to get vertigo." SMH wasn't as bad as Project Almanac (which had the shaky camcorder footage for the whole movie), but the first 10 minutes of SMH did give me the 2nd worst vertigo ever, after Project Almanac. |

And when DC does all the stuff Homecoming did, because DC loves ripping off Marvel, you won't complain.

People were so eager to shoot down Man of Steel and Batman v Superman because they were apparently trying too hard to be the opposite of MCU films. People were pissed that Snyder thought he could be different from Marvel and make a comic book movie in a different style. Then once Suicide Squad tried to mimic Marvel (and failed), everyone complains that they're ripping Marvel off. Then Wonder Woman goes back to its roots and makes her a happy, optimistic warrior, and apparently it's just like Marvel again. People are pissed again. People need to make up their minds. |

No, WB did dropped the ball with both approaches. They failed when they were trying to be different from Marvel AND when they were copying them. You can be different from Marvel without letting Snyder turn two of the most famous superheroes ever into Randist-Nihilistic garbage. And you can look at the MCU to see why it works and learn from it in a tasteful manner. Wonder Woman did both of those things (differentiated itself from Marvel AND learned from it in a tasteful manner). I only ever said "Wonder Woman's only good because it copied Marvel" because it bothers DC-Fan. |

The iPhone documentation Peter does is fairly brief, nowhere near 10 minutes as you say. It is explained by the gym teacher that despite Captain America being wanted by the law it goes against protocol not to show his PSA's to students - school model that has been around since 2012. Sky High, Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2 are not "recent", Sky High was released in 2005, Kick-Ass came out in 2010 while its sequel came in 2013. It is 2017, do the math, they are not fresh in the public's eye. Max Steel was a colossal flop, so who cares? And yes, your "review" was extremely biased. |

Spiderman:Homecoming was not a great film but I still recommend it. I didn't care for some of the actors in the film, Michael Keaton, Jacob Batalon, but still pretty good. 7/10.
