Another entertaining entry in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe, for the uninitiated :wink: ). It succeeds very well at what it sets out to accomplish. Spidey is pitch-perfect, it looked great at the 15/70 full size IMAX venue and I was entertained throughout. It will obviously be compared to Batman v Superman, and will no doubt have much higher satisfaction ratings among critics and a good chunk of viewers. In part, the accolades will reflect the fact the filmmakers chose a "safe approach", one far less likely to challenge audience expectations than BvS. That's fine. But I admire the BvS filmmakers more for their willingness to take a riskier approach, at the cost of upsetting audience expectations. YMMV
If you are an MCU fan, a must see. One caveat, for those who have not seen all the MCU movies (this one is number 13 in the shared universe, not counting Jessica Jones and Daredevil on Netflix, as well as Agents of Shield on ABC): some bits will be confusing or obscure, as the story presumes prior knowledge for a complete understanding of proceedings.
