Teen Spiderman....... really?

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2017)

**** Spoilers ******
Prior to Spider man Home Coming there were 5 Spider man movies, 3 with Tobey Maguire and 2 with Andrew Garfield.
Although I liked the Maguire movies they were a 55 / 45 split between Peter Parker's failing relationship and Spider man story and at times the emotional failing relationship aspect of the movies became too over powering and the became main focus of the movies.
Andrew Garfield's Spider man was more well balanced and although the movies did explore the Girl Friend /Parker / Spider man relationship struggle, it allowed the Spider man story to be a little more center stage.... and for the record had a much better story explaining how Peter Parker actually became Spider Man....
So when it was announced that a sixth Spider man movie my first thought was ....why?
I liked the fact that the film makers did not go back to the beginning to explain how Peter Parker became Spider Man because that did not need to be revisited. I liked Micheal Keaton's, Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. characters... but it was down hill from there.
In my view Tom Holland's Spider man is the weakest version of the 3 Spider man movie versions and in parts it was very slow ... the movie did not need to be made.
Tom Holland's character was written like some (pre) teen movie and it was embarrassing to watch and not only that .... he spent the whole movie crying about not being listened to and wanting to be an Avenger ...but at the end of the movie he turns the offer to be part of the Avengers down..... this is just so predictable it was painful.
Great for kids 12 years or younger I guess..... and this would explain why the movie made such a huge amount of money in the opening weekend... The whole family going to the movie theater rather than just couples. I not saying that is a bad thing, in fact its a good thing!....
but in my view the quality of the movie is the main priority of movie making
