Curtis @ 18/12/2021 9:30 Boc @ 18/12/2021 2:50 just got back from it. Prob have more to say about it later but for now I think I can safely say it's the best of the MCU Spidey movies. Still had a lot of the unshakeable Marvel misgivings but despite that it was a lot of fun and handled its premise better than I thought it would also never in all my days have I heard an audience reaction like a couple points in this movie got. Pretty sure this guy behind me actually came during a certain moment, things got intense And you still gave it a lowly 6/10 on LB! Thought it’d be higher after reading this Seeing it shortly 6/10 is a positive rating Curt! Above-average for MCU

I guess I remember you liking the second one kwuite a bit more

Spoiler + Biggest disappointment was somehow...the Garfield/Tobey entrance. I loved the two of them in the movie, but their actual entrance was so forgettable. Everyone knew they were coming ofc, and I thought the exact moment was gonna rival Cap lifting the hammer or everyone showing up through the portals behind Cap, but it was no where close imo. And it should've been! It could've been such a huge moment, like Holland Spidey after a brutal defeat fucking drowning or something and a second gloved Spidey hand reaches down and grabs onto his, idk man, something like that. My audience was like woohooo when they both showed up but not like LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! like they should've been, you feel me?

I agree your version would've been better but we had veryyyy different theater experiences in that case lol. Those were some religious experiences for about half my crowd

I feel like I need to watch it again on my own because Nav jizzed all over himself next to me.

Bah

At the theater right now. So excited.

Yeah not for mine lol. It was a packed theater too and they were decently rowdy throughout the movie. Nothing close to the audience I was with for those two Endgame moments

Lucky

Loved it. Interested to see where they take the next trilogy

My favorite part was seeing Goblin appear at the bridge. That was the moment the electricity in me went on. I was HYPED

I loved it. Just got back from seeing it. Incredible. 10/10

lots of thots + first of all, even though I was MUCH more of a Doc Ock fan as a young lad, I gotta say Dafoe absolutely stole this movie. I feel like having heroes/villains shed their mask so we can see the actor's face is so overdone (Topher's Venom is prob the worst example of this) but in THIS case it was a great call, cuz Dafoe's facial expressions are way more menacing than the Power Rangers mask could ever be. Every time you heard that cackle as he flew onto screen was such a joy The other villains got a little shortchanged in comparison but were all decent, with the exception of Sandman where it felt like Thomas Haden Church did not give a shit at all, his line readings were so stiff I definitely was pleasantly surprised by what they did with the multiversal plot. The trailers had a lot of Strange's mirror dimension which made it feel like this movie was gonna be like an Endgame level extravaganza, but it really did stay focused on the core characters surprisingly well. Mostly was just a fun little adventure of Peter needing to clean up his mess rather than anything world-ending. Maybe started going a little too 'big' in the third act when there were now like a dozen characters to service but it was still balanced p well Only character I felt got sadly shortchanged was Betty :( Angourie Rice was too fun in the previous movies/in general to be relegated to just one line. JJJ was honestly kind of a disappointment too, nowhere near as fun as his original appearances It was really weird seeing Tobey as this wise old Peter but it fits the character pretty well. Wish they would've brought back the Elfman theme for him tho! Still not sure I understand why Andrew/Tobey were not de-aged when the villains were but...sure! I guess cuz they never died? But Lizard and Sandman didn't die either and they were still de-aged? It's w/e tho Another thing I'll say is I feel like this movie FINALLY addressed one of my main annoyances with Holland's Spider-Man with him being Iron Man Jr. It took until the end but he not only is back to living in poverty (which...I feel like in this universe the Avengers would certainly just find out who he is again and recruit him back, but HOPEFULLY NOT) but he had some genuine tragedy and bittersweet decisions he had to make. The ending of this movie felt so much like the end of Tobey's Spider-Man 1. Definitely makes me excited to see the future of Holland's character which I never thought I'd say coming into this I'm now realizing that I mostly have positive thoughts on this movie so maybe I AM underrating it a bit, idk. I still was annoyed by a lot of traditional MCU hallmarks (dialogue, unimaginative directing, etc) but I might as well just copy and paste that for 95% of MCU's movies, it's barely even worth mentioning at this point https://letterboxd.com/carter_sauce/list/spider-men-1/ https://letterboxd.com/carter_sauce/list/mcu-movies/ (lol all Spidey movies lumped right together, not even purposeful)

Fun fact

Spoiler	+
Church wasn’t even in it! All footage of him and the lizard were recycled from their original movie or just conjured up. Explains why nearly every shot of them was so awkward looking

I just saw this yesterday! I'm replying to this particular post because I don't think I heard any audience reactions at all. The theatre was very quiet.

Anyway, I liked the movie a lot, it was very entertaining, although I found some of the scenes to move a little bit slowly. But it had some really, really cool moments.

I don't think spoilers are necessary at this point, but

Spoiler

+

it was awesome or should I say amazing, to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men get to do things a little bit differently than in their own movies, ie. saving the villain and saving the girl. Garfield's scenes in particular were some of the best and his movies were my least favourite. But it's nice that they've sort of made those previous films something that newer fans of the MCU could go back and watch. I didn't expect May's death, but then we never really saw the Uncle Ben moment with Tom Holland, so while that was sad, it was a nice twist.

Lol. Its been leaked online so they upped the vod to this week. It's up everywhere (including plex) if you want to watch.
