I have not seen the film yet. TBH I will probably wait for streaming due to lack of time. But I have been hearing good things so far.
I do ask that everyone avoid spoilers out of respect for those of us who haven't seen it yet.
I do like that this seems to be focusing on Adult Spidy instead of teenage version. I really got feud up with that teen Peter shit from the previous films. Also from he trailer it looks like he's mutating or something, so this could be a big twist.
I am still hoping we finally get Eddie Brock in the MCU at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later.
And Ned becoming the Hobgoblin.
Given that there's been multiple Hobgoblins, I suspect Ned won't be one of them. BUT, they co I ldvsteer the path if that's what they wanna do, I just won't expect it.
Just saw it last night. I think that I prefer the odd numbered entries in the MCU Spider-Man series so far. There was a lot here that I would have liked on paper but ultimately didn't really matter. My biggest issue is the big twist villain and nothing about them making sense here. I'm glad I saw the movie but I don't see myself returning to it... maybe I should give Far From Home another watch sometime...
I liked it best of the four MCU Spider-Mans so far. I had no issues with the villain or the threat we thought was the villain (because that's just the door opening for something else finally), but I do feel the absence of a major Spider-Man villain in these movies that actually has to deal directly with Spider-Man. Sucks that the first two dealt with villains who had grudges against *yawn* Stark, and the 3rd movie just used villains from the previous separate movies, and here we get a minor baddie (minor but still sets up a domino effect if I predict correctly). Yet it *felt* more like a Spidey movie than the previous three, which is what I really enjoyed about this one.
But my biggest issue with the MCU Spider-Man in general was how they
1) Skipped his backstory
2) The Tony Stark connection and him making Peter's suit which just pissed me off.
3) The fake MJ. I mean where is the real Mary Jane Watson?
4) Same as you... there's not really been a true bad ass villain yet. I appreciated The Vulture and Keaton's performance but it's always felt underwhelming.
I like Tom and his performance as a younger version of the Spider-Man character. But his version is my least favorite of the three.
