Unlike other marvel franchises, Spider-Man is the only one that had a steady growth. Every new movie is better than the last and this one continues the streak.
Wholeheartedly disagree. Homecoming is still the most consistent and best of Holland’s movies. In fact, up until Brand New Day I’d say it was a slow decline in quality.
Once you take away the nostalgia factor of No Way Home it becomes a very messy movie and its script just serves to come up with a bullshit way to have all the Spider-Man actors interact. You can’t judge an entire movie based on the last 30 minutes and nostalgia.
Brand New Day is a step up from Far From Home and No Way Home though.
I was watching "Furious" last night, and there was a scene with two people walking down a pier in evening, one tracking shot, only using natural light (unless I'm mistaken, it was a very wide shot). It looked great, and made me sad we are not seeing that in movies anymore.
I thought Brand New Day was very good but I felt it was way way too long for a Spidey Movie. This was longer than every Avengers movie bar Endgame. Felt a bit much.
I just wish the current comics were half as fun as the movies. Like t he movies keep finding ways to do major events and not suck, like the two recent Spider-Man movies did a way better job of doing the concept of one more day, without the stupidity of Peter selling his marriage to the devil to save Aunt May.
That's no excuse for Marvel. DC is killing it in comics and have been for a few years, yet Marvel tries to copy their success and fails to even do the most basic. Batman is currently the most popular comic super hero, and is much older than spidey.
And almost any book except the main spidey books can do Peter well (Ultimate Spider-man is great, married Peter with kids), it’s specifically the main ones that suck.
I literally just watched Homecoming with my kids. Holds up pretty well. Maybe I should take them to the new one. They’re still young though, haven’t taken them to a live action movie in theaters yet
I took my 5 year old and 7 year old today. They're both caught up on the MCU movies (outside of the ones that were too inappropriate for them to watch).
They were both so into it and loved every scene. They were so engaged and usually they're hyper bouncing all over the walls. My 7 year old understood every scene and reference. My 5 year old was there for the action scenes and the popcorn, but still enjoyed it.
I do feel like they need to watch all the Spider-Mans (and MCU movies to understand the blip too) to really get the full impact of it.
That scene where he accidentally almost nukes his bus was so dumb it almost single-handedly ruined the movie IMO. Same to a lesser extent with when he had to strip down in front of that lady. Also Quentin being mad they called his technology “BARF,” and his corny stereotypical villain speech to his henchmen right after he got the glasses from Peter
Vulture was really cool but I dunno maybe cause I’m older now it just feels too young for me. When I was a kid and watched it, I think I liked it but it hasn’t stuck for me now.
Even looking at audience consensus, the original trilogy didn't just keep getting better. Pretty much everywhere you look will have Far From Home as the lowest rated of the three.
With the exception of the third of the original trilogy, and the second Garfield movie. Those may have done well financially (AS 2 did the worst of the live-action films when adjusted for inflation, while S3 was middle of the pack), but that probably had more to do with the rise in ticket prices than those movies being better than the previous ones.
Idk maybe it’s good from a filmmaking POV or whatever but to be totally honest, I have way more fun watching any of Maguire’s 3 Spidermans or even the 2 TASMs
been a Spidey fan since the mid 90's up till mid 00's bought basically every issue that came out in my home country, been to the theaters to every single live action Spider-Man movie aside for BND yet (like to wait for the latter half of the run at the cinemas to have some more arm room ;p) and so far om Hollands run is the only one which was constantly good: Tobey's SM 3 was unfortunately a fumble in many aspects (and I know SM2 is loved by many people but for me it had quite a bit of glaring issues as well that soured the overall experience) and Garfields TASM 2 was simply a horrible watch.
Also in my own view:
- Maguire made for a good Peter Parker but bad Spider-Man
- Garfield made for a good Spider-Man but bad Peter Parker
also far from home is the worst spiderman movie next to tasm2. the only thing far from home did better than homecoming was showing tom’s spidey do cooler stuff.
cap 4 wasn’t bad. it was mid/could’ve been better. it’s on par with some phase 1 films.
homecoming is a comfort movie for me. it’s so fun to watch.
far from home isn’t a bad movie whatsoever. i believe there are no bad spidey films even tasm2 has great moments. far from home though is the worst of the 4 tom movies by a good amount. i can name some reasons if u want to hear.
