I have the day off after Glastonbury, which coincides nicely with this being released

Just seen it...brilliant.

Mid credit scene...wow!!

just got back from watching this it was brilliant. I only drop single spoiler but it pretty much well known one.

they bought back J.K. Simmons playing the iconic role of J. Jonah Jameson again, which he first played in the original Sam Rami spider-man trilogy

Got back from first viewing of the day (non-midnight), agree that it was a great watch.

Booked a Screen X showing Saturday morning, hopefully this films makes more use of it than Shazam and Godzilla did.

I would say that as long as they're using it properly there is no excuse not to be! The film has me thinking it would be great for a Screen X showing.

It was decent, but not in my top 10 MCU movies. I didn't find the jokes really landed most of the time and though the spectacle of the action was good and fairly easy to follow, I thought the story wasn't all that.

Then again, any movie that had to follow Avengers: End Game was going to struggle to live up to that.

The two end credits scenes were quite big game changers though. Whilst watching I thought that Nick Fury was badly written/weirdly played throughout, but it makes perfect sense after the first credit sting. Baddies motivation was a bit weak (disgruntled ex stark staff), and it was fairly obvious that Mysterio would be bad. Quite a swerve with the old multiverse mentioned in the trailer being twaddle made up by some script guy.

Very disappointed in this, was excited to see it as well. Mysterio, although acted superbly was a huge let down.

Maybe I'm just not over how awesome infinity war/end game were yet.

i liked it, not as much as the first but still very good.

MissChief · 3 Jul 2019 at 01:48

Into the Spiderverse still the best Spider-Man movie. This was good but not great. 6.5/10.

I really enjoyed this, my favourite new Spider-Man of the last 3 actually. Even like the MJ storyline.

ElliorR · 4 Jul 2019 at 18:41

Was enjoyable enough but I do prefer Spiderverse.

Shamikebab · 4 Jul 2019 at 18:58

Really liked it, I personally didn't like Into The Spiderverse, visually it was amazing but I found the story dull and the characters ridiculously one dimensional apart from the main two.

Efour · 5 Jul 2019 at 20:08

Yeah it was fine. Better than I expected, in the top half of marvel stuff for sure.

Yeah 7.5 out of 10 good standard issue stuff with a few gags . Execatly what you expect.

Glanza · 6 Jul 2019 at 15:24

It was ok but wasn't as enjoyable as the last one for me, the 'villain' didn't feel like one and I can understand what he was trying to do. The mid credit scene was a surprise that's for sure.

I thought it was pretty funny that they said their was a multiverse in the trailer which made everyone go nuts. Nope, just Mysterio being Mysterio haha! I quite enjoyed it - the action scenes were fun and it sounded amazing.

the fact that Talos didn’t raise any objection or tell him he was talking rubbish says there is a Multiverse.

I'll probably go and see this at some point during the week but I'll get the mid credit scenes off the internet later. I'm absolutely sick and tired of sitting through them.

VincentHanna · 7 Jul 2019 at 18:23

Mid credit comes up after about 1 minute...

For the end credit sting I went to the toilet and came back in.

Stephanie Peterson · 7 Jul 2019 at 18:27

Watched this the other night, was decent.
The biggest part though is after the actual film finishes, do not miss than mid credits scene.
