One man's meat is another man's poison. Senior Member 3,076 posts Joined: Dec 2007	QUOTE(Odinn @ Jul 10 2017, 12:20 PM) First time posting a movie review, and I have to agree with you guys. Spoiler for cons, as I was a comic fan and collector in 90s up till the clone wars. Coming from a comic perspective: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1) Flash is a jock, school athlete. The movie portrays him as intellectual (being in the decathlon team) and nothing athletic about him. 2) Liz, why is she there, doesn't do much for the plot. Could have done without a love interest. And Pete's 1st crush was Gwen. 3) No spider sense. It failed him on several occasions in the film; Ned discovering his identity, Vulture capturing Spidey when he was chasing the van, Aunt May also discovering his identity, Shocker catching him off guard and punching him at the school car park, to name a few I can remember. 4) Did he keep calling Aunt May by her first name only? What happened to "Aunt"? 5) Why do the 2 reboots have Spidey using mechanical web shooters instead of being a power he gained from the spider? His creating the web liquids in chem class is.. 6) The greatest advice Pete recalls in time of trouble is not "with great power comes great responsibility". Instead, it is "if you're nothing without the suit, you don't deserve it". Or whatever Tony said to him. And his greatest mentor is Uncle Ben, but in the movie, it's Tony. If you're a comic fan, you must disassociate the comic from the movie and watch it as a stand-alone movie, with nothing related to the comics. Take the movie's iteration of Spidey as a completely different Spidey. I found it to be just ok only. So far, none of the Spidey movies tick all the boxes for me. TBH, this is MCU after all with C as the abbreviation for "Cinematics". With MCU nearing a decade old, I think fans should be aware by now that there WILL be a lot of divergence from these heroes' comic origin. While I don't tout this as the perfect Spider-Man movie, I think it is definitely better than going the old Uncle-Ben-got-shot-because-of-me path & along with that, some changes here & there which is definitely a welcome change, at least to me.

QUOTE(6so @ Jul 9 2017, 09:57 PM) 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. This. The aerial fight camera shake is way too much. Coupled with the camouflage lights on the plane & it's hard to make out what's really happening. QUOTE(6so @ Jul 9 2017, 09:57 PM) 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. And yes, as much as I like Vulture for being a memorable antagonist compared to the last few MCU villains, I think it's going to be hard to top Raimi's Doc Ock.
