I understand this movie is getting heavy-praise right now and you're probably already thinking of downvoting this, but at least hear me out.
I'm a big Spider-Man fan, and I genuinely enjoy most marvel movies. I don't think I consider too many of them masterpieces but they're enjoyable. I went into this movie wanting to like it, but instead what I got was a story that read out like someone's fanfiction without much else to offer.
Don't get me wrong, the film's fine enough. There are some funny jokes and it does feel good to see Willem Dafoe as Green Goblin and Alfred Molina as Doc Ock again, but not much else than that. Peter and MJ's relationship feels very cookie-cutter and at some point you get tired of hearing washed-up actors talk about their old films.
It's not a bad movie, but highly overrated and everyone really needs to calm down over it.
