Pretty good, but underwhelming after Civil War Introduction

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2018)

I thought the film was overall fairly good, with some great scenes in between quite a bit of lackluster scenes. It definitely felt very.....high school, which I guess it was going for since Spiderman is a highschooler. The first 15 minutes were downright boring and disappointing, possibly some of the worst intro to a villain and protagonist in Marvel movies yet. But then the film picked up! And when Peter Parker was in the Spiderman suit, the energy was high and humor on point!! I loved Spiderman's quips at the bad guys on the ferry, perfect humor amidst fighting, and what Spiderman would do to make fun of his opponent, keep things light. I loved that.
The villain however felt quite bland and not scary. Only until you saw him kill his henchman with a gun, vaporizing him, and then later when fighting Peter and destroying the pillars to drop the ceiling on him, those were great moments and defined the villain as threatening. I did like that Peter got his suit taken away by Tony Stark, I appreciated they emphasized that Peter must be a hero, with or without the suit, and he proved that.
Overall, good movie and set up for the future. I hope the directors for future Spiderman movies give him a better villain, have less scenes in Peter's high school, and work on the jokes so they are wittier.
