Just because you liked it...

Rating: 4/10 (29 September 2017)

So I saw the movie last night and can honestly say I was not impressed. By no means a 1/10 movie but certainly not a 9 or 10. I am writing this mostly to ask those who castigate the 'fanboys' for wanting more from a spiderman movie what is their objective. Ironically calling these genuine reviewers 'trolls' or 'butthurts' whilst not seeing what they are themselves??? So they don't have the same opinion as you, so what? For what it's worth I agree with the fanboys, being one myself. I won't dissect too much into the finer elements of race, tech suit etc., but I do believe this move to have lost the soul of what it means to be part of the MCU. All the other films presented us with something of a slight back-story to help us engage with the current universe. I appreciate it's a Spidey story done a million times, but come on this is Spidey, we want to see him being a nerdy little guy who gets superpowers, the girl, the person we wanted to be!!! That's why we loved him. Here he is portrayed as a weak little kid, given a super-suit and weird adolescent story arc. I reckon the suit could have waited until he proved himself for the Avenger cause and there's nothing wrong with casting Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson without having to diversify. Equally the bizarre Flash. So a step back for MCU, here's hoping Thor and Hulk can give us the fizz back.
