Just an unnecessary filler movie

Rating: 3/10 (16 July 2017)

I can deal with all the changes to the characters. How Aunt May is younger, Flash is a math nerd instead of a jock, Spidey himself being codependent on Tony Stark and the high-tech suit given to him. But why did we have to sit through teenage high school fantasy fumbling? Really? Homecoming was a like a made-for-TV Nickeloden movie. I could care less about how Peter Parker tries to fit back in to his daily life after Civil War. Yay, we skipped a whole origin story this time around - who needs it for Spider-Man after so many reboots, right? But to have to sit through so much 'a day in the life of Peter Parker' was just torturous. After amazing movies like Logan and Guardians of the Galaxy 2,it felt like an insulting step backwards to sit through the teen-fest of Homecoming. Now that Marvel has created a totally integrated 'Universe' to get us to watch every movie because they are all joined to form a bigger, deeper picture, we are goaded into watching even mediocre films like this. Just to keep up with continuity.
I can't see myself shelling out hundreds of dollars the next few years for movie tickets and popcorn just to see more Marvel fare like Homecoming.
For those that saw the movie already. You know how Tony Stark drops Peter off at home near the beginning of the movie? That apparently took place right after the big superhero skirmish in Civil War. Then near the end of Homecoming Parker gets called to go see Stark at his headquarters? If, after the Civil War fight, Parker went straight to Stark's building and that ending scene occurred the exact same way, you could just wipe the entire Homecoming movie out and everything would be fine. Homecoming literally is just a filler movie. It has zero impact on the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe.
If you want to argue that Homecoming was still entertaining, all I can say is that I wasn't the only one in the theater who sighed with disgust when Parker found out that the girl he's taking out on a date just happens to be the daughter of his arch enemy. Come on. These cliché coincidences just have to stop.
What was good about the movie? I liked Tony Stark's influence with Spider-Man's suits. All the techy stuff can make for some interesting action scenes in the future.
I doubt I will ever watch Homecoming again, though. Once was enough.
