Better, but way over the top

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2017)

This Spider-Man doesn't suck and it was enough for everybody to praise the film. But I say it is not enough. The greed that made the cinematic universe to even exist and mix everything up together is also responsible for the way this movie went over any limit where it is simply fun.
So you have the typical story: Spidey is a 15 year old kid in high school, with all the issues associated with it, but he is also the protégé of Tony Stark, Mr. Iron Man himself. That means Chitauri technology, amazing suit that does everything (with the eternal question about why not every Avenger would have one) all mixed up with high school jokes and teenage issues.
The ending kind of saves the movie, when Parker says he would rather not be an Avenger and keep taking care of "the little guy", but really, half of the movie was Peter talking to his suit (I mean, having Jennifer Connelly everywhere you go would be kind of nice, but still).
The villain was good, but hard to swallow. I mean Michael Keaton was perfect as The Vulture, but it's hard to believe a construction company manager would have what it takes to create the suit.
Bottom line: Everything is just jumbled together and it was the actor performances that saved what is, quite clearly, a mess.
