that rating is going to raise some eyebrows but okay wait. LISTEN. i just got out of the theatre maybe an hour or so ago. here are my initial thoughts. this movie? debatably the best fucking spiderman film to date. i didn't give much of a fuck about the raimi trilogy, tasm has a special place in my heard and is massively underrated BUT THIS? THIS IS PETER PARKER. THIS IS SPIDER-MAN. I LOVE HIM SM I JUST FJDKFK AHHHHHHHHH. okay okay okay running thoughts from the movie. first of all, bisexual peter parker acknowledgement. yelena clocked his ass and i loved the nod coz peter has BEEN bi-coded for SO LONG but i heard they cannot legally make him queer (assholes) SO EVEN THIS LIL COMMENT FROM MY QUEEN YELENA ASKING HIM IF HAD A GIRLFRIEND OR A BOYFRIEND WAS SO AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. yes pls. also his lil tank top and juicy couture moment really sold it lmfao. tom holland had the craziest body in this movie (i mean this respectfully. that is mr. zendaya). AND MJ!!! dude that moment where jean possesses her was so devious. absolute violation. zendaya channelled her inner tashi duncan for that scene lmfao i love her being evil. and peter and MJ. OH GOD HER TELLING HIM SHE DIDN'T LOVE HIM COZ SHE DIDN'T KNOW HIM I WAS DYYINGGGG I WAS LITERALLY CLUTCHING MY MOUTH ONG HFJDJFJF. honestly i respect that decision sm coz i was lowkey afraid they'd pull a raimi mary-jane watson and make her cheat on her alr existing boyfriend in that moment SO THIS WAS TECHNICALLY THE BEST CASE SCENARIO?? i'm just glad peter acknowledged that HIM as a person, as PETER FKIN PARKER, had value too and deserved to live a life as well. the way he supresses himself as peter, refusing to acknowledge that side of him and always being locked into being Spider-Man, spending YEARS that way: it was sad. i mean, it kinda looked like he was having fun but in a lonely way. like how i live. umm. k. sadie my wife was great. this movie basically soft-launched the x-men. she was rumoured to be jean grey and lo and behold. YES. this is, visually, the BEST LOOKING SPIDER-MAN MOVIE. the direction by destin daniel cretton was absolutely phenomenal. i knew he'd delivery after i had seen Wonder Man AND HE DID IT SO WELL. the spidey swinging scenes in the beginning, the POV WHILE SWINGING, THE WAY THIS MOVIE PORTRAYS NEW YORK CITY AS A LIVING BREATHING BEING, SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD!!!! i'll add other stuff if i remember it but here are my criticisms. The Punisher. why was we here dawg. frank's character wasn't written well. he's not a chatty guy and he's not this lighthearted banter guy either. he becomes sort of the comedic relief part of the movie. it's easily the weakest part of this film. and why is scorpion part of the sinister six if he's so easy to beat? dude was doin nothing. then again, not everyone can be doc ock and green goblin. LISA COLON-ZAYAS WAS IN THIS MOVIE!!!! either i forgot or genuinely didn't know she'd be in this. i almost gasped THE BEAR!! when she appeared. also the villain aspect of this movie was kinda meh. tramell tillman could've been utilised more. and I need to re-watch this movie to get a solid grasp of sink's performance as jean grey. this actually was a pretty character driven movie, the MOST character driven plot in the entire tom holland quad rn. bitch i just fucking loved this. it had its problems BUT I FUCKIN LOOOOVEEEE. my mother may also made an appearance in this mwah mwah i missed her. anyways yea. 8.9 rating BUT i love this WAY FKIN MORE over nwh. BITCH I FORGOT TO MENTION: SM OF THIS MOVIE WAS REMINISCENT OF THE INSOMNIAC GAMES THAT WAS COOL ASF ESP IN THE ACTION AND FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY W THE COMBOS AND ALL.
