It wasn't a good Spider-man movie.

Edit: 2 downvotes already, so I'll double down. It was bad, the plot made no sense overall.

spoilerJean first operating in hiding and then revealing herself like that, first using "too weak" puppets when she could have used the Hulk all along. The weird extra storyline with Spidey now becoming a more organic Spider-man. The Punisher as a totally useless character that just fucks it at the end, of course not in a non-fixable way. Just all bad.

I am glad I didn't watch it in the cinema and I would 100% not go to rewatch it with more footage.

    spoilerShe was hitting all the ICE/DC facilities one by one, she didn't know which one had what she wanted - she didn't even know what she wanted, she was getting access to databases to figure out what V-Max was and who knew. It would do nothing at all to send the Hulk to trash a place she didn't even know had the information or not, trashing places was not the point, and she obviously wouldn't have been able to keep using him on all of them one by one. The argument of "they have a nuke, why don't they always immediately fire it where the enemy boss is hiding, are they stupid" never ever works.

    I watched day one and thought it was meh. I don't understand what spell it has on so many others.

    I expected it to be a fresh take coming from the new director. It was genuinely the same old formula. It has no soul in it. My biggest complaint is that Mcu spidey always feels like a side character in his own movies. I liked Far from Home because it felt Spidey had more to contribute.

    The Punisher was my major complaint. I liked the show, but he was so annoying in this movie. If they had cut all of his scenes the movie might have had a decent runtime and we would have lost nothing. The only decent part was his hospital scene at the end, which did not need to be him.
