A good movie

I already saw this movie but since I just bought a brand new TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, unfortunately, to be honest, pretty much like 99% of the MCU instalments I have been rewatching lately, the damned thing didn’t turn out to be as amazing as I remembered. Indeed, the biggest issue was that it was too long and, on top of that, the story felt rather flat the 2nd time around. Still, even so, it remains hands-down the best Spider-Man movie I have seen so far. Eventually, even though Sony must be happy with the deal they have made, it still must be painful for them that none of the previous installment they made without the help of Marvel was so good and it is even more embarrassing that these guys managed to deliver the best Spider-Man movie directly with their very first attempt. Basically, even though like anyone else, I always thought that Spider-Man was one of the best characters in this genre, the previous movies always messed up some crucial elements. In this movie, at last, they cast an actor who wasn't reaching his 30's and the tone was just pitch-perfect. As you must know by now, this time around, they went for some high-school vibe which worked so well with this character. On top of that, even the way they added this movie into the more and more complex MCU worked well and it didn't feel forced like in many of the recent installments. Another thing that was very well done was how they managed to keep a small scale which was so refreshing following the overblown mess that they gave us in their previous movies. The only minor issue I had was that, even though Michael Keaton was solid as usual, the Vulture was not really an impressive villain, especially compared to the awesome enemies they gave us in most of the previous installments. Anyway, to conclude, even if it might not be one of the best MCU instalments out there after all, it is still pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
