Could've been great.

Marvel: Stop cramming diversity down our throats. Escaping from the endless barrage of "equality", and the perpetual and aggressive whinging of its supporters is part of the reason I go to movies. I don't want to be made to feel guilty for being a white, heterosexual male whilst at the cinema as well as everywhere else in my day-to-day life. Changing the gender and ethnicity of characters just for the sake of being inclusive is ridiculous. If there's a reason for it - fair enough. But there simply wasn't in this case. It was done because the current mainstream narrative is that white males are responsible for every ill on the planet, because ... reasons. So let's urinate all over them here, too, to virtue signal to everyone just how progressive we are. Total crap. Tom Holland was very good as Parker/Spider Man. I also liked Jacob Batalon as Ned. In fact, I was pretty impressed with all of the actors in this film. Actually, if it wasn't for the performances, I was going to score the film a 4. My issue isn't with the actors, it's with liberal Hollywood and their obsession with inserting a "message" into every film they produce lately. This is the last big budget Hollywood production I'm going to watch for a while. I want to be entertained, not miseducated.
