I love Spider-Man, this is on par with Spider-Man 2 for me

What a damn good movie. Excellent soundtrack. Love the credits style.

So I'm a huge Spidey fan. He's my favorite. I've always been keyed in on him since the early cartoon days when I was a child. One of my favorite days was when I was at Universal Islands of Adventure and rode the Spider-Man ride 8 times in a row. Nothing beats Spidey. Best cast of villains (Batman is the only one who competes there). Best personality.

And this movie just nailed it in terms of finding a good Peter and a good Spidey. That was always the issue with Macguire and then Garfield. Good Peter, good Spidey, but neither was both.

I love the modern, fresh take on Spidey. I love his wit. I love almost everything they did with him. SJW MJ is a hot take on the character, so we'll see where that goes. Incorporating Ned, doing him as the Miles Morales sidekick version was pretty solid. Vulture was absolutely amazing and I'm excited to see Shocker return in every single movie because people just don't care enough about him to lock him down.

The humor was top-notch. They really nailed Spidey in combat, which is such an important part of the character and didn't disappoint in any way. Peter himself has room to grow. Karen is ok. Is she an illegal AI? I want to know these things.

I don't think I'll ever be truly happy unless Spidey meets Coulson. I know that won't happen, but Coulson is such a fanboy for heroes... Peter would be such a fanboy for Coulson. It'd be the best reversal.

Spider-Man: Homecoming just makes me happy. Out of all of the Marvel movies, this one just makes me feel like a kid again. And it gives Tony Stark some good development again... keeps his character alive. And Happy!

I love that Happy literally was reading everything Peter sent to him. Making little comments about "the notes you leave around" showed that he really did care. And same for Tony - they cared the whole time.

Liz was cool I guess. A good way for them to leave MJ development until later. Personally though, I wouldn't mind if they went Ultimate-esque and made a Peter/MJ/Gwen love triangle. Obviously with Gwen as Ghost Spider.

I'm just really excited for where this series is going.

To conclude, this movie did just about everything right. They skipped over the origin story that we didn't need to see, but provided a fresh take on Peter starting out as a hero. He didn't even win the climactic fight through fighting! They cast him extraordinarily well. They gave him a good attachment to the actual Avengers, without making him instantly part of the team or just not. Spidey in combat was top tier, so he doesn't have to grow into that phase, which is so needed, I mean come on, that's the main reason to watch Spider-Man anyway.

Vulture was a good pick for the villain - focus on all the guys we didn't get to see in the Raimi movies. Give us Gargan again. Give us the Rhino. Give me some CARNAGE. And of course, the more modern characters would be great to include... Gwen's reboots have been well-received. I'd love for her to make an appearance in the MCU... even as one of Peter's classmates who oops is actually Gwenpool or something. Spider version would be interesting, but too similar to Spider-Man that it would be odd. Maybe make her an accidental creation of Peter's... but I digress, I'm digging too deep into what-ifs.

Anyway, I love this movie and I'm glad Marvel and Sony could work out a deal.

At last, a Spider-Man movie that I had always wanted. A Spider-Man who is really an insecure teenager instead of an unlikable a**h*** in the previous version.

MetalmindStats
Freed of the burden of living up to audiences expectations for a Spider-Man origin story, Homecoming gets to be its own movie, feeling as simultaneously fresh and familiar as its Peter Parker himself. With that comes a cleverly plot-integrated and generally rare good MCU villain in the Vulture, and Homecoming also gets to add extra layers to Tony Starks character and franchise-wide role along the way.
