My buddy has already seen it since he is in films. He says it is the best depiction of Peter Parker to date. Great Spider-Man movie.

The only way I will ever pay to see another SpiderMan movie is if he suffocates in his webbing and that is the end of it all. In that case, I will give a standing ovation that will last until AFTER the credits.
Next Superman movie for me...... the one where Kryptonite dissolves his skeleton and the remains are eaten by clams.
Next Batman movie for me .... the one where Batman and Robin both overdose heroin and their bodies wind up in a landfill.

Saw this last night and loved it. I would say this is the best Spider-Man movie to date, including Raimi's trilogy and the 2 "Amazing" films. A few minor complaints, I paid to see this in IMAX 3-D because that was the only saving grace of Amazing Spider-Man 2, the visuals in that were great in IMAX 3-D, but this was more toned down. Don't waste the money on IMAX 3-D if you're expecting visuals like the "Amazing" films. Regular 2D should be just fine.
They had Peter Parker in high school in the other Spider-Man film series but this is the first one where it really feels like he's a high schooler and that they focus on that aspect of Peter. Also since he has the larger established Marvel world to play in, he's definitely a "rookie" type hero, still learning his way. Obviously he was in Civil War already and they don't backtrack for any origin nonsense, which is good. If you haven't seen Captain America: Civil War then I'd highly recommend seeing that before seeing this, it's on Netflix so it's not hard to find.
This film was much more character driven than any of the other films. You get to learn who this Peter Parker is and also who he is as Spider-Man. There is a difference between the two, which wasn't really the case in previous Spider-Man films. Tobey was a great Peter and Garfield was a good Spider-Man but Tom Holland nails both rolls.
Anyone that feels like they've seen this movie already from the trailers and TV spots is wrong, Marvel cuts trailers really well and just uses stuff from early in their films for the most part so even though it feels like you've seen a lot, most of what you've seen happens early and then it's all fresh. There is also less Tony Stark/Iron Man than some people have feared. I've heard people refer to this as Iron Man 4 or think it will be a Spider-Man & Iron Man team up movie but it's definitely a Spider-Man film and Stark's presence is felt through a lot of it but he's not on screen very much. He was in this less than he was Civil War, his role in the story is smaller than that film also.
Biggest complaint though is this is probably one of the most disappointing post credit scenes of any Marvel movie. I wish I would have left after the first post credit scene. There are just 2 though, it's not like Guardians of the Galaxy part 2 with 5 credit scenes.

It's about time they cast someone younger as Peter Parker.
Tobey Maguire was 27 when the first Sam Raimi Spidey film rolled out.
Andrew Garfield was 29 in the first Amazing Spidey flick.
Tom Holland is 21, but looks more believable as a teenager, IMHO.

I thought that was off but enjoyed the film so much I totally forgot about it until I saw that post now. It doesn't take much away from the film itself but does raise questions for the entire MCU. I read an article a week or two ago about how it's becoming clearer and clearer that Marvel should have someone that is in charge of overseeing their overall continuity and canon to avoid these sort of issues and points out some other mistakes.
https://mcuexchange.com/marvel-needs-charge-cinematic-canon/
James Gunn admitted to a continuity error in GOTG 2 right after it's release also. That film took place about 6 months after the first Guardians but one of the post credit scenes has something mentioned that happened in Civil War. Guardians 1 & 2 were supposed to take placed in 2014. That's minor though as that was more of an easter egg than a real continuity issue but it was Gunn who came out and admitted the mistake before it was discussed much amongst the fanbase. It's even explainable since there is another post credit scene that takes place probably a year from the events of that film, if not a little longer. I won't say specifically because I don't want to spoil anything, even if it is small stuff. I'm not sure how you do spoiler tags either.

It's weird... I wasn't super into this through the first hour, but thought the second hour was really good. Wasn't crazy about the twist, but once I got over it, it made for some really meaty scenes.
Keaton was great. The kid was great.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
This was effing incredible. Marvel knocking it out of the park yet again. Great villain, great humor, great story. Definitely better than WW. No doubt WW was the more important super hero movie of the summer, but it has been eclipsed.

couldn't disagree more. WW owns the summer. This was very good, but WW was great, IMO.
Yep, Marvel hit this out of the park. Wonder Women was great but this was better. I would say this was more like 1A and WW was 1B. Both great movies but I give Spiderman the nod just by a nudge. The bad guy fight scene at the end with Haydes flying through the air like a video game with the final fight kind of sucked in WW. I really didn't have a problem with any scenes in this movie which is why it barely edges out WW IMO. I mean barely.
Both still great movies. Both must see and must own movies. WW definitely was more impactful though overall IMO to it's respective universe. Plus the lead is still uber hot in GG.

Better off silent
Loved this one as well. Best Spider-Man movie ever made. I was iffy on the casting but it grew on me. And a pretty good twist you don't really see coming -- whether you like the twist or not. Also, interesting 1st credits scene and a spectacular final credits scene.
As for the Wonder Woman comparisons... I think they are about even when it comes to quality, but let's face it, Wonder Woman had a bit more IMPORTANCE in the scheme of its universe. And because of that, it definitely moves ahead of Spider-Man for me. Granted, Spider-Man had some damage control (no pun intended) to deal with on all the previous films, but at least a film like Spidey 2 was a good superhero movie at a time where there weren't many superhero movies.
Wonder Woman, though, had a HUGE burden. Not only was it released in a universe that has failed up to that point, it's star and director were women, to boot. What that movie has accomplished both on its own and within the greater universe, is nothing short of miraculous.

Yeah I thought that WW was better but only by a slim margin.
With that said this movie was fantastic. Marvel can do no wrong. They are the Pixar of comic book movies.

Saw this and was so-so for me, but damn the post credits scene was probably the best yet from Marvel. I aint talking a about the jail one either.
watched this last night.. It was great but not great, fantastic without being spectacular.
It was far from what I was expecting to be sure. Based on previous spidey movies and Petes appearance in civil war I was expecting a full on spectacle of all the bad assery that is Spider Man..
Instead,...I got a confused bumbling kid in defiance of authority who wanted to prove he could be a grownup...
they really ****** nailed it. Watching Pete bumble around and have to actually learn how to be spider man was awesome... testing his limits, learning he can do more than he thought he could...being kinda afraid of heights, lol....
I am not a huge fan of the iron spider suit... spidey sense is supposed to be natural,...not jarvette telling you something is coming... I did however kinda like the taser webs...and the suit constantly wanting to go into red eyed instant kill mode was hilarious.
Peter Parker was a 15 year old kid and for the first time in any Spidey movie we actually got a Peter Parker who is a fifteen year old kid. I am hoping the next one does not take too long to hit the screen
