Worst of the lot

Rating: 5/10 (22 October 2017)

Worst spider-man ever. I could have posted a bitter 1 star review but that wouldn't have been a true reflection. This was an average movie at best, it had some fun moments but really at the end of it I didn't really feel anything. They are going mental with these reboots, I wonder who will play the next spiderman in 3 years time. This is getting out of hand. I hope everyone simply boycotts the next movies to teach marvel/Sony a lesson.Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker was the best version of the friendly neighbourhood spiderman there was, why fix something that wasn't broken? As for this movie it was far too avengers orientated, introducing new characters, villains and sidekicks. There is no origin story here. Spiderman exists from the start so it continues from where they left of in the captain America movie. Also it seemed pretty clear that they were playing towards some diversity quota with an influx of oriental and black actors. It seemed kind of forced upon us, didn't seem natural as far as the movie goes. They were clearly aiming for the huge Chinese market to get more $$$. Marisa tomei is clearly miscast as aunt may. Holland doesn't fit his role as spiderman well either, he seems more of a pre pubescent version of the superhero. Michael Keaton does well in his villainous role. His character and his cleanup team are forced to sell alien technology weapons in order to make ends meet after being put out of work by clean up teams organised by the government. Spiderman spots them and tries to stop them, succeeds in the end. That's the movie basically. There is some comedy and romance that seemed wooden thrown in. There was no chemistry whatsoever. An average affair.
