Nope....I would rather Fox keep doing their own thing and not to have the same menu as MCU offering. Why Fox wanted to share profit with Disney??? I think the r-rated CBM should be their USP and step up to do more Logan-esque type of movies.

All their mutant movies are making bank unlike Sony was in financial problem when they made the MCU deal.

Fox more willing to take chances on established film directors while MCU just wanted directors for hire they got cheaply from up and coming pool of indie directors.

On a whole it's not as irritating as the usual crop of MCU movies that use to put out. The one liners or jokes a little more bearable than the usual winking at camera like a cheap tv sitcom. Then it does a lot of those cheap gags like Aunt May and Happy bumbling his way around. Action wise nothing out of the ordinary just felt it simply does not have that iconic scene or mindblown moment. For me the train stopping in Spiderman 2 still the best or maybe I've seen the new PS4 game trailer that did a better job showing the newer things that can be done with spidey.
Lose interest during the final fight with vulture cause there's no difference from any of the aerial fights you've seen many times with Green Goblin before. Surprisingly the villain turns out a little better than the usual but still far behind Doc Ock from Raimi.Tom Holland pretty much the best spidey to date only that I want the classic villain that put him into paces like Kraven.
Think Sam Raimi 2nd Spidey still speaks volume to me because it just that classic villain wrecking havoc on Spidey while this one only so-so. Not brutal enough...then again this is still Marvel we talking about. Just don't get it why they keep holding back on villain portrayal.

Think you should look at past articles of bad blood feud of Marvel's Perlmutter with Fox studio. It simply not gonna happen anytime soon.
Just because McD successful and popular at making hamburger simply does not mean I don't get to try out the ramli burger stall outside 7-11 or a fancy TGIF burger. Fox just does not need Disney's assistance cause they are not in any bad shape. You can't just pin the failure of FF as a benchmark the studio is bad at managing CBM franchises. Mind you James Cameron, Matthew Vaughn, Ridley Scott and more are the mainstay at Fox. They are also good at making other great movies and Apes about to show soon and follow by Kingsman. So they are simply not as clueless as you think they are.
Again the fanboys and geeks does not make up large chunk of the box office. It's the marketing hype and casual movie goers that gonna fuel the ticket sales.

The high school setup is a homage to John Hughes, the 80s teen movies king. Deadpool end credit is a rip off of Ferris Bueller end credit. Detention scene a nod to The Breakfast Club.
Female Jarvis voice belongs to Jennifer Connely the 80s teen idol who also happens to be the actual wife of Jarvis Paul Bethany aka Vision. Pretty meta.
Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop another throwback to the 80s era punk scene although the single was released in the 70s. Sex Pistols define 70s punk while Ramones owned the 80s.

Marisa Tomei must watch films...that showcase her "talent".😉Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)
The Wrestler (2008)
On a serious note those two above also her better dramatic roles I can remember.

Thank god, don't have to pay money for this. If you are hoping for the new MCU ushering into Phase 4 post-Endgame, this is not that movie. It's another rethreading back to the by the numbers MCU formula. When you've seen enough of the trailer, you can guess how the movie will play out by the end of it. There's zero surprising element and Gyllenhaal's Mysterio is your usual insignificant villain with lazy motivation. Fanboys, of course will eat up any reference and easter eggs being thrown at them. Post-credit is another shameless sequel bait.

I think they are referencing Peter as a tech mogul before the whole Superior Spiderman thingy. IMO that's a bad route to take as any threat he's facing will be saved by the tech he pulled out of his ass, whereas in MCU will be Stark Tech. Prefer the old school characterization of struggling dork with hot MJ. It's his own perseverance and ingenuity that powered him through the obstacle.

Disney will find ways to milk IM again and don't see them forever in bed with Sony. Disagree Spidey will be the big gun for MCU moving forward.

Not sure whether the problem lies in Jon Watts's stagnant character handling or Tom Holland's charm is fast diminishing. It's only two modes of expression, I'm whining for not worthy to be in the big league or a horny teenager in desperate courtship with MJ.

Swinging on the city and some fight scenes also copy and paste from the PS4 game.

Peter Parker also experiencing the same PTSD characterization from IM3. The constant plot line tropes in MCU, daddy issues and PTSD....lol....

So Disney leaked the news to force Sony into a deal. Out of nowhere a succession of MCU led Spidey project drops. Fanboys will rejoice but it's a ruse. To me it's fair and square, MCU benefited the most as Sony took nothing from the 3 Spidey appearances on the Avengers. 50% co-financing on stand alone Spidey movies also means Disney potentially can dictate what Sony can and cannot do with their own Spider-verse projects.

In the end, Disney knew first hand no one in the right mind will concede on the 50% deal, but they control the narrative first by leaking. They knew full well the public will turn on Sony in this age of snowflake fanboy-ism. Also, the timing is right next to D23.

All I can hope is Sony keep doing their own thing that not conforming to just MCU branding. Taking chances like Into The Spider-verse and the best Spider-man movie to date still the second Raimi movie, not the Jon Watts one.

Aeroplane clashing a paper kite, another day...another fake news.
Either they closed the deal without talking about it or just pure speculation from a fanboy who tweets like a mofo president. None of the legitimate sources saying otherwise.

As of right now, Spidey still out of MCU. Woohoo or boohoo...

Okay I'm the sour puss gonna dunk on this movie. So after many outings as MCU's Peter Parker, there's zero character growth on Holland's Parker. He's still that annoying high schooler leading his actions via his penis. Experiencing Thanos, Mysterio's betrayal and seeing Tony's death, doesn't change his naivety at all. Dr.Strange is this movie's Dr. Macguffin and Dr.Deux Ex Machina. Conveniently he has that one spell and things for Parker to do or not do. So like any past Ironman movies, there's one thing he mustn't do at all cost and yet he does it. Again another MCU movie about correcting stupidity or mistakes. Man how many more of the tiresome same theme. As for the nostalgia bomb where "heroes" come together portion, a rather foregone conclusion how things played out. Guess I'm too desensitized with CGI orgy fest. I don't mind using it to elevate plotlines. As hollow spectacle and employing them for the sake of just using it, it's where I'm not interested. Again one note villains and Sinister Six just...is that all they can be? No point comparing this to Raimi version, Spiderman 2 is a certified modern classic. Compare this with other MCU movies instead. Gotta stop my MCU hate-watching OCD.

Err...erm....sigh! That's your opinion, man! I have zero sway on how you watch and enjoy your movie. Likewise it's not my business to debate you. Awesome you like the movie, you can't impose your thoughts on other people's opinion. Also don't mistake my post is to please your confirmation bias. I'm not that dude!

It's a freaking movie, either you are indifferent, love or hate over it. No need to tell me why I'm wrong in my assessment.

Never underestimate the effectiveness of Disney's marketing power. Before MCU, children are conditioned on their 2d cartoons. Then they have the Disney princesses for adolescence crowd. Next they have Pixar, that targets their core PG13 market. MCU has been brainwashing nerds how to react to what a superhero movie suppose to be. Also we are wired differently, I have few decades of comic books collecting experience. You don't just read Marvel books because they are cool. The artist and writers is a big reason why you're reading them. When Alan Moore revolutionised the comic book medium, it's not just a children pastime hobby anymore. Now all the cutting edge and meaningful good stuffs are not in the Marvel branding. Then again it's nothing wrong if you like Marvel's IP, just wish they don't rehash the formula in making their movies. There's more than one way to skin a cat, just saying.
