Loved it.
I'm really curious about the "insta-kill" mode though.

Thanks for that insight as it flew past me and didn't know the MM uncle connection in the Ultimates even tough I read them!

I didn't dislike this movie, I liked a lot of it, but I don't think it was the best overall Spider-Man film. I thought the souped up suit worked for a bit but Peter and Tony should have had a falling out leading to Peter forcibly giving up the suit due to Tony's tracking and over reach. That way at the end once they patch things up Tony can gift him a new suit without the bells and whistles and a little "the suit doesn't make the man" kind of note. I'm okay with Peter having a support system in Ned, but not a mini JARVIS/IM suit.

Spider-Man 2 was always my favorite live action Spidey movie.....UNTIL TODAY!!!! I'm not even going to pretend like I wasn't full throttle geeking out through the entire thing. It was absolutely perfect in my opinion and easily cracks the top 5 of my favorite MCU films...hell, it might even be #1. I give it a very big :thumbsup

Almost a throwaway line and the quiet nature of it was class. I'm glad they included it - just a basic little thing that covers little plot complaints etc.

Just saw it with the wife and liked it a lot! Loved the post credits Cap bit !
All the pieces for that set are in the structure and the different areas. It is more a playset than a just display set
Saw it last night...
Overall, I think it's a decent movie...a great summer action flick. Perhaps not as epic as songs of the other MCU films, but still good.
Holland is perfect in his role. The right blend of Peter and Spidey. He nailed it, and the scene of him buried in the rubble really showed his acting chops.
Keaton was fantastic and genuinely frightening.

Im kind of in line with this. My expectations werent really high, and Im a huge spiderman fan, but it did what I thought it would do. As a hardcore spider man fan, I didnt like how they deviated from Aunt Mays character, didnt like all the tech in the tony stark suit, kinda thought the AI was a bit much. I also didnt really like how he seemed to be depowered in this vs, Civil War. Seemed like he couldnt/wouldnt jump very far, or wasnt as acrobatic as I would have liked to have seen him. Or how he got tired climbing up the washington monument. There are skyscrapers that dwarf that and he didnt climb that high? Now this goes for all spidey movies, but I dont see how he didnt fling himself up monument/buildings considering his strength to weight ratio. Or when he is huffing and stuff considering how strong he is vs how light he is. I dunno, just nit picks I guess. I also couldnt stand the supporting teenager cast aside from Ned. Thought the love interests were too boring/not pretty and couldnt stomach "flash". I did like however the nod to the comics when he has the debris on him, thought the vulture was really cool/fleshed out, liked the prowler easter egg, and the web action during the ferry scene was cool. Holland was great in the role though, looking forward to more appearances for him. But on an MCU level, it was a tad lackluster.

Posted this on Facebook, but thought I would add it here as well:
For people stating that Spider-Man "breaks" the MCU's continuity by taking place "8 years later", following the events of The Avengers: we need to stop assuming that the movies absolutely take place in the year they were released.
* Iron Man 1 came out in 2008.
* Iron Man 2 came out in 2010, but in the beginning of the film, Ivan Vanko and his father were watching Tony's "I am Iron Man" press conference, the Stark Expo entry was billed as "6 months later" from there, so if we assume that IM1 did, indeed, take place in 2008 (supported by the inclusion of a real world financial television show which, I believe, includes a date stamp), that would put IM2 in late 2008 or early 2009.
* Thor1 takes place concurrently with IM2. (Widow is babysitting Tony because Coulson is dealing with things in New Mexico).
* Captain America1, we can assume takes place either around the same time or shortly after Thor1.
Therefor, in terms of timeline, The Avengers would have taken place sometime during 2009.
8 years later, would put Homecoming squarely in 2017.

The article from back on page 2 explains why there's a problem.
Basically, here's how they boil it down:
Iron Man 3 takes place 6 months after Avengers (established in-movie). It also references an event that happened at Christmas 1999, and says that it was 13 years earlier. This firmly places IM3 and Avengers in 2012.
For reference, other known dates we have for movies:
Thor 2: November 2013 (calendar in background)
GotG 1 and 2: 2014 (1 takes place 26 years after the 1988 scene, and 2 takes place 34 years after the 1980 scene)
Winter Soldier: 2014 (said to be 2 years after Avengers, confirmed by AoS)
Civil War: 2016 (They've been searching for Bucky for 2 years, since WS)

My girlfriend and I saw this on release day back on 5th of July in our local IMAX, we both loved the film
Tom Holland feels like, and is to me, the perfect Spider-man, and I say that as a fan of the original Toby McGuire trilogy.
The film had heart and humor, which is why I love the MCU films so much. The fact that the film weaved into the MCU was a massive bonus.
I'm a huge film score fan and where I feel the MCU has a lot of amazing scores, I felt Giacchino kinda of "phoned this one in".
Spider-man's main theme felt like it was building towards something but fell a bit flat.
They should have gone with the amped up re-orchestration of the TV theme, extended it and given it a huge epic presence and used that.
We when left the film, we agreed it was a solid 8 maybe 8.5 for tying into the MCU.
