This Peter Parker does have an uncle Ben. I thought we were to just assume the origin story. In Civil War he has a line where he talks about -- when bad stuff happens, and you don't do anything to stop it, it happens because of you -- which is very uncle Ben-y.
Are we (Sony and whoever else are involved in these reboots) just going to ignore the passion Peter has for photography. It's kind of a big deal in his world. I didn't like it as much as the early 2000s . Definitely better than emo spiderman
In regards to the Michelle thing...... Spoiler http://www.darkhorizons.com/feige-on-zendayas-nickname-in-spider-man/ One of the more talked about minor moments of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is that of Zendaya’s character Michelle when she reveals her nickname that friends call her – ‘MJ’. During the film’s production, the actress was plagued with rumors she was playing a new variation of iconic “Spider-Man” comic love interest Mary Jane Watson, despite her character Michelle having nothing in common with the character. Now Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has set the record straight. He tells IGN UK that Zendaya is playing Michelle and ONLY Michelle: “Well, we never even looked at it as a big reveal necessarily but more of just a fun homage to his past adventures and his past love. She’s not Mary Jane Watson. She never was Mary Jane Watson. She was always this new high school character, Michelle, who we know there’s an “M” in Michelle and an “M” in Mary [laughs]. So we’re so clever and we thought, “Wouldn’t it be neat if her initials were MJ?” And then I think it leaked that she would be playing MJ and then it became a whole headache for Zendaya to have to navigate. It was never a big, ‘Oh my God, it’s a big reveal!’ There are big reveals in the movie. That’s not one of them. Is she going to date Peter? Are they going to fall in love? She seems to be intrigued with him. There’s a nice chemistry there. Who knows what will happen in the future films?” The film’s producer Amy Pascal added: “She is not going to end as being Mary Jane Watson.” “Spider-Man Homecoming” is out in cinemas now with the sequel to go into production early next year.
I liked the character of Tom Holland in this Spidey flick better than the Tobey Maguire ones. He always seemed so ooh-boo-hooish in all 3 of his films and I'm actually glad that we didn't rehash the Uncle Ben passing. We know what happened, Peter knows what happened, I'm sure it'll come up in a sequel on HOW it happened but it was better imo that they didn't trail off into that part of his origin story. The Donald Glover character reveal was pretty cool, good to get an idea of where they're trying to go with the sequels. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5, pretty entertaining but people are tired of the Spidey reboot deal but it definitely could have ended up much worse.
You guys are on crack ... this is the best of all the Spiderman movies by a mile. They focused on one singular villain instead of jamming 3 into a 2 hour movie. Tom Holland was great and funny. The comedic moments were ok. And they get a plus for stellar use of Blitzkrieg Bop in a movie. 9/10
The villain was easily the best I've seen in the big screen MCU. Only other one close in the entire universe was Kilgrave in Jessica Jones. Vulture wasn't just some mustache twirling evildoer, everything about his actions were understandable. Plus Michael Keaton was his typical awesome self.
Peter even said in the film something like, "I don't want to put that on May with everything she's gone through".
For whatever reason people obsess over comic books, flock to it, and print money for Hollywood though so Hollywood will continue to reboot it for 150 years.
I thought loki was good too. Doc Ock was pretty good in SP2. Spiderman has the best rogue gallery in the Marvel Universe. It shouldn't be that hard to have some great villains.
We enjoy them. I know that's a crazy reason to go watch a movie, but it's not a mystery. Nobody is held at gunpoint and forced to go watch all of these "mediocre" comic book movies.
i was going to mention loki also. can't help but to like him. he's like the starscream of villains. anyway... i dug mj's dry humor in this flick more than any other character in it. humor from everyone else was just cheese. keaton great as usual. Spoiler the jacket that the two shockers were wearing were awesome. good to see marvel pay homage to the shocker in the comics
damn i'm uncharacteristically late in this thread as i have just seen it. btw am i the only one that really hate the fat sidekick? i find the socially awkward loser 'sidekick' characters really annoying. wished they would've killed his character midmovie. ok i guess it's spoiler time. Spoiler - are they purposely trying to go anti-mainstream with an ugly mj here? she has the personality of a rotten potato...and looked like one. how they plan on transforming her character to a love interest is beyond me. - with the captain america "patience" after credits scene, does this mean spidey will not be part of future marvel films? - which brings me to my next point, i guess spidey rejecting stark to become an avenger is an explanation of why he won't be in future avengers movies. - also him wearing the original spidey suit that stark gave him instead of the shiny new one that he rejected in the end also seems like a no avengers movie for spidey. - so is the vulture a good guy now? seems like breh was protecting peter in that prison scene. - mj is ugly i sympathize with the vulture. seemed like a breh trying to make an honest living before "the man" screwed him over. i would have done the same. just looking after yourself and your fam. and the kid can pull an american accent really well. he captures peter/spidey's personality really well. tobey's spidey seemed a little autistic and garfield's was emo, tho i blame the writers for that. all in all, it was super enjoyable. give it a 9/10
