Not my Spider-Man

Rating: 5/10 (29 April 2018)

Before I go into the critique, let me first off tip my hat to Tom Holland. He's a charismatic actor and the best thing about the movie. He is what probably will have me watching the next installment as well, despite being disappointed in this one.
And the disappointment comes from all the tech, gizmos and IT that for me was not a part of the Spider-Man i read as a teenager. Granted, that was quite some time ago and smartphones was naught but a dream. Maybe the Spider-Man of today is a tech-whiz and chats with his in-suit-voice-assistant.
But that is not the Spider-Man I know and like. Nor that he has a nerd friend that helps him out, acting both data-center-ground-control as well as last minute action-rescue.
This also applies to Vulture who was basically an Iron Man version, where the suit was the character. It was a bit of a waste having excellent Michael Keaton just being a CGI masked one-man-helicopter.
Hopefully the tech-craze ends with Parker denying the Avengers and maybe not having to have Tony Starks stamp on everything. But he did end up getting the same suit!?
Tom Holland will get me giving the next one another shot, but my hopes are not high.
