Teen angst and over-kind antagonist

Rating: 6/10 (18 August 2017)

Contrary to most of the other 10/10 reviews I have seen on this site, I feel that the main character this time seems to be a spoiled brat who does not know much of the phrase that was popularised due to Spider-man: "With great power comes great responsibility", as we see him keep getting into incidents where he bites off more than what he can chew.
Yes, this is an interesting new take for the Spider-man series, a bit too interesting in fact. The personality and abilities of the Spider-man this time seems much more willing to initiate rather than to save, in fact, more than half of the major incidents were directly or indirectly caused by him. Not sure what's so interesting about watching superheroes cause trouble then end up having to clean their own messes, wait there's ultron as a great example.
The storyline is stale, and at one point I wonder why Spider-man does not seem to be in a situation so severe I start to worry for him, well this is due to overpowered and reliable allies turning up just at the right time and over-kind enemies leaving him to rest once he is unable to fight, only to find him counterattacking maybe 5 seconds later.
As fresh as this is compared to the rest of the Spiderman series, it is undoubtedly strange to see a superhero act as childishly as he did, like how a kid does stupid things to attract the attention of his/her parent. And not to mention all the teen issues out there, it almost feels like watching some American high school drama with wanna heroism as the topping instead of the other way round.
Characters wise, to be honest it is strange how the Asian actors are featured, but I'm not going to go in-depth into that. Just remember the discrimination of asians in some institutions as an example.
Well, all in all, it IS a marvel production after all, so it is overall a quite good film.
