Spider-Man Homecoming - July 7, 2017 (1 Viewer)

I liked it but it did feel like they gave away too much. We'll see. I do think they could have left out the part where Tony talks about taking the suit back.

I also liked the first trailer better. That one conveyed tone, this one got bogged down in plot that would have been better saved for the movie itself.

I'm hoping that the trailers are only so Tony-centric because Sony lent out its biggest character (aside from maybe 007) to Marvel for Civil War, and now they want to get their money's worth out of their end of the bargain. The best use of Tony Stark is in a very limited supporting role as his mentor. The fact that all of the Tony bits we've seen have been from the same couple of scenes gives me hope that this will be a Spider-Man movie first and foremost and not Spider-Man teaming up with Iron Man the entire running time. I enjoy the team up movies as much as the next guy, but I enjoy a true standalone, too.

Those reservations aside, the dreary Justice League trailer still makes this look better by comparison. The warm, naturalistic lighting that's reminiscent of a Ron Howard picture. The bright colors. Even the occasional blue sky. Much more inviting than the fifth circle of hell that Justice League apparently takes place in.

I love the phrase "fifth circle of hell". I hate the aesthetic that the DC characters are saddled with.

I really love the look of this Spidey's suit.

Thanks Tony!

Walloping web snappers!

Tom Holland has been cast to play Nathan Drake in the "Uncharted" movie. Apparently, the movie will focus on a young Nathan Drake. The third game had flashbacks to how a young Drake met Sully (in his prime), and they are going to use that as inspiration for the movie.

Boy, this kid has to be on top of the world right now.

No, no, and no.

This is one Spider-Man fan that will be skipping this movie.
Blah.

 

[Chris Will]

Looks fun to me!

Been hearing good things about the trailer, but I'm not watching. I'm trying to avoid the "final" trailers lately, and I think that has had a positive impact of my enjoyment of recent movies.

Fun interview on Jimmy Kimmel:

Critics have been allowed to post their reactions on social media, and they're not good.............


THEY'RE GREAT!

The consensus so far seems to be that's it's better than Spider-Man 3 and both Marc Webb Spider-Man movies, but not as good as Spider-Man 2. Some seem to think it's better than the original Raimi Spider-Man, some thing it's not quite as good.

I can live with that.

I've learned from past experience that early social media reviews do not necessarily reflect objective opinion.

You actually got me with the "they're not good" bit.

 

[Sean Bryan]

I've learned from past experience that early social media reviews do not necessarily reflect objective opinion.

That is true. But it is important to distinguish between social media reaction from "fans" and those from critics.

The reactions here are from critics.

 

[dpippel]

IMO most early reactions posted on social media are more marketing than anything else.
