Tom Holland good, most of the rest bad

Rating: 2/10 (20 July 2019)

Spider-Man's characterization is radically changed in this film, picking up from Captain America: Civil War. Spider-Man is not the Peter Parker of the comics; he's a kid on a leash held by Tony Stark and Happy Hogan. The first tedious hour was painful. Aunt May is a fourth of her age in the comics. But Peter's childishness and the helicopter Stark and Hogan weaken the character. Overall, a disappointment. Michael Keaton is always good. It's a shame the script and direction wasted the talents of Holland and Keaton, and took such nonsensical liberties with Spider-Man's origins.
