I definitely am more bummed out by the ending than anything, but the movie itself is great and like others of said it's a top 5 comic book movie easily.
I think I just feel bad of Parker. I don't think any other superhero loses or sacrifice as much as he does in terms of regular life. The dude seems to constantly have to lose loved ones, struggles with the double life, is constantly broke etc.
I'm not holding my breath, but I really hope we get a 4th film with him having really taken on the mantles and God willing the little Venom symbiote comes into play. Then you can have the MJ and Ned relationship rebuild as well. She's still wearing the necklace from FFH at the end as well. After all, MJ said she'd figure out his identity again.
What's so brilliant about these three movies is that they were basically a back door way of getting us to the "default" Peter Parker/Spider-Man we love, but also feel so bad for. I remember people b*tching about the idea of Stark giving Peter all that tech/support in Civil War/Homecoming. Which was certainly fun, but the argument was that it didn't feel quite right that this Peter wasn't "struggling" as much as we knew Peter could/should. In a way, Stark felt like a cheat code. When, in reality, it was all set-up to get us to the "default" version of Peter/Spider-Man we finally see in the last few minutes of NWH. And it's almost MORE poignant this way, because we've now seen how much he's lost, just to essentially get to the version we had in Tobey at the end of act one of the first movie. Which, yeah, I think looked/felt the same by design, in terms of his apartment, shinier suit, etc.
Honestly this is one of my problems with this movie. I felt the mcu take on spiderman was different and that was cool. In this movie, they took away things that made this iteration unique and just made him like a very other Spider-Man down to the damn uncle Ben line.
I enjoyed this movie, but honest for me this was a bit lazy and in the story choices. I think it succeeded because there is so much good acting on the screen that even though it's a bit tired of a story imo, they execute it about as perfectly as possible.
For me after one watch I'm not even thinking about this as a top 5 mcu film and I think given time.people will like this one less.
Not a chance. This one is top 2 or top 3 (depending how much you liked both Infinity Saga movies).
As for me:
Infinity War
No Way Home
Endgame
Wow,
In no particular order,
Iron Man
Homecoming
GoTG1
Ragnarok
Winter Soldier
Are all easily better and I can think of several more.
