This kind of just feels like Iron Man 4…..
Okay, so in last years Captain America: Civil War, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was no doubt the standout of the movie, bringing new light on the classic character. Now a year later he’s getting his own solo flick, and things are looking up for the web crawler. Being a big fan of the character, I loved the original two Spider-Man movies and I don’t like talking about the steaming pile of crap that was Spider-Man 3. Quick rant, when it was released the world did not have pre order tickets you had to go to the theatre early to make sure you got a seat, so being the loser I was I showed up at 7 for the midnight showing. I waited 5 hours for the movie to start and I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed with a movie in my entire life. I also had a math test the next day, which I ended up failing. Thanks for nothing Tobey.
Anyone else feel like they just watching the condensed version of the movie? Boy did they show us an awful lot in this trailer, kind of the exact opposite of the Justice League trailer that dropped a few days ago. Like I understand that Spider-Man is now apart of the MCU, but you don’t really need to try and shovel that down our throats in the trailer. Did they really find it necessary to show us every Tony Stark scene, and just how involved he is going to be in the actual movie? I wish they held back on this stuff, it would have been a nice surprise to see just how much Tony was going to be part of the story, and not see him in the entire trailer. This honestly felt like Iron Man 4, rather than Spidey’s first rodeo.
Saying all that, I did enjoy the trailer, actually way more than the last one to be honest. I don’t know what it is, but I’m not that excited for this movie. Maybe it’s because there hasn’t been a good solo Spider-Man film in almost 15 years, so you have to take this with a little grain of salt. Tom Holland is the perfect Peter Parker/Spider-Man, so there’s hope for this movie, but I feel like Marvel will just use the same cookie cutter formula that has been used for the last dozen Marvel solo movies. Michael Keaton looks awesome as the villain Vulture, maybe this will finally be the breakout Marvel villain that fans have been waiting for. He’s been on a serious role lately, and I hope it can continue in this. There were a ton of awesome moments, but again maybe they showed a little too much. The boat scene especially, that seems to be the half waypoint of the movie, the second action set piece, and I feel like we just saw the whole thing. The Tony/Peter dynamic looks great, it feels like this movie will represent the whole “with great power, comes great responsibility,” with Tony replacing the Uncle Ben character.
Overall I thought this was a great trailer, I just think they showed us a little too much, and they really don’t need to sell the audience on this movie. Spider-Man is huge and they are throwing their trump card into the mix with Iron Man being involved. Marvel really doesn’t make mistakes when it comes to their movies, so this will no doubt be a massive success. With them showing us so much, the one thing they didn’t show us at all was Donald Glover in this trailer and that was a huge let down! I’m excited to see what he brings to this movie, and I just wish they would have teased us a little bit with his character!
Seeing how this is only the second trailer, we will get one final trailer before the movie hits theatres in July, and I hope they don’t give away too much more. Movies these days tend to give away way too much in trailers now a days, and I think this trailer represents that. Spider-Man is a fantastic character that deserves a great solo flick, something fans haven’t been able to experience in a long time. So here’s to hoping Spider-Man: Homecoming is a success.
I did enjoy the trailer for Spider-Man Homecoming, but I agree, they did show a lot of plot elements that could spoil enjoyment of the movie. As a rule I tend to only watch the first couple of trailer for a film anyway, so the story doesn’t get spoiled.
Yah I agree. I’m out on the Alien trailers and Guardians, I’m going to see those movies regardless and I don’t need anything else spoiled!
I think we’ve seen the bulk of the trailers now for the summer season, until we get one for the next Star Wars movie of course. Actually, I find the thing that often spoils movies are the TV spots that appear in the run up to a films release – avoid those like the plague as they always give stuff away. For sure, totally going to see the new Alien and Guardian of the Galaxy films like that as well, its not the same if you know too much about them. One things for sure we are in for a great summer season of blockbuster films 🙂
