Good not great

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2017)

I enjoyed this film. I went in knowing it was aimed at a teen audience, and was not actually for anyone over 30.
Holland is not the best guy for this role, though he gamely tries to carry it off. The actors playing Peter's classmates are fairly convincing as high schoolers. The writing and performances are solid here. Keaton does well as Toomes/The Vulture, as I knew he would.
I take issue with Tony Stark's suit for Peter. It does not belong in this movie (or any of the Maguire/Garfield films, for that matter). This seems like an attempt to sell toys. He's not Iron Man Jr., he's Spidey. No need for all that tech, as other reviewers have noted.
Speaking of some of the other reviewers... their vitriol seems a bit unwarranted to me (railing against "SJW" and "Political Correctness"). One person wrote: "...with typical modern Hollywood touch to blackwash characters. Peter Parker's stepmom is now Mexican (?), girlfriend African and his best buddy Malaysian. How about that for a zoo? Minus 2 stars for that." Another arch conservative wrote: "...Filled with unnecessary SJW agenda that Marvel will probably build up to full force in Black Panther and Captain Marvel. Zendaya's character is nothing but a full throttle SJW who protests and refuses to appropriate to society." Um, a zoo? That's not a loaded/pejorative term at all, coming from a conservative describing non-whites.
I guess I don't read enough "conservative" new sites, as this is the first time I have ever heard of the term "blackwash".
A question - How exactly is MJ supposed to "appropriate to society"? Google Translate doesn't seem to work on this phrase.
I don't think these reviewers even paid attention to the film, as a significant amount of what they write is blatantly inaccurate.
Last but not least, I must add this. Spider-Man, like many of the Marvel titles, is set in New York City. One of, if not the, most diverse places in the country. Even if these conservatives go back to the comics from the 1980s, they will see that even then there was diversity depicted in the Amazing Spider-Man and the Spectacular Spider-Man. And it wasn't just Joe Robertson (Glory Grant, Cloak of Cloak and Dagger, Luke Cage and quite a few others).
I have a suggestion for these conservatives who find movies like this so objectionable. The cast lists for major characters of these movies are available before the openings, so one can see which actor plays which character. And this and other sites show previews. How about you guys help Make Hollywood Great Again and just don't give these horrible diverse movies your money.
