That'd be my ranking. If including LEGO Batman, it'd be ever so slightly above GOTG2.
Liked them all. And Logan and WW join some of my all time favorites
You have to go out of your way not to smile during that intro. Has to be up there with the greatest superhero film intros of all time.

Film is an absolute joy to watch. Holland is to Parker as RDJ is to Stark. Cannot wait to see the character grow and develop over the sequels.
Put some respek on Lego Batman's name please
It should be the marvel studios logo intro every time. Straight up. The 1967 Spidey theme might as well be the Marvel theme at this point. Certainly the most iconic and memorable piece of marvel related music ever.
Homecoming also has the best score of any MCU film so far. For sure.
A cousin and his son just got back from a showing this afternoon. Cousin saw the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man when he was 30 years old. His Son, when he was 9. Predictably, my Cousin loved it. Thought it might be the best or tied with Spider-Man 2. His son thought it was good but not anywhere near what Raimi's 1 and 2 were like.
This is typical of what I'm hearing from friends. If you grew up watching the Raimi films, it's hard to fight that nostalgia.
Sort of how people like the Fox 90s X-Men cartoon. Even though it's garbage

Saw it today. Really good. But some points/doubts:
1 - does he have a Spider sense? Does not seems so, when entering his apartment with the buddy inside and also when fighting Vulture and the pillars thing. (Well spider sense never made sense anyway).
2 - who build his tech? Obviosly Stark made the suit, but did Peter develop the original webshooters and webfluid? He still have the shooters after giving back his suit and they did not look the fancy ones with the suite.
3 - He kept the suit at the end. The supertech one? With all those gadgets that made him not look Spier-man at all?
Liked:
1 - Pepper is back!
2 - MJ and how she seems to have figured out Peter.
3 - the hints to Miles
Do not likef:
Peter is supposed to be a junior genius. In the film it seems that Stark did everything.

Yes, Peter has his spider-sense abilities. This was subtly implied in Civil War.
Although you are right that Peter's spider-sense wasn't shown off in Homecoming, Kevin Feige recently stated in an interview that they very much consider this version of Peter to have that particular ability, they just wanted to step away from it for this particular film given its prominence in previous Spider-Man movies. It'll probably show up again in future installments.
Peter made designed his own webshooters and came up with the formula for his webfluid. This was established pretty clearly in both Civil War and Homecoming (in the latter, you see Peter clearly tinkering with both in the high school science lab)
He didn't keep the high tech suit, no. Peter rejected Tony's gift (along with Tony's offer to allow him to become a fully fledged member of The Avengers), out of a new-found desire to stick with the smaller stuff for a while, focusing on "helping the little guy" in New York. He went back to his "old" Stark suit, as demonstrated in the final scene in the movie.

It's hard to separate child hood garbage from truth.

I know it is the old Stark suit. But is that suit with its own AI, drones and everything else? That does not look like Spider-man. If Peter made the webshooters he could build some basic gadgets, like trackers, without relying in Stark tech. He only need to make a better suit. In the end it seems that we are back to the Stark tech.
Always good to temper or lower your expectations when you know you're getting really hyped. This advice has worked for me for every Nintendo E3 press conference since the 2004 reveal of Twilight Princess.
I just saw it and did not come disappointed at all even after all my hype!
What an incredibly good and enjoyable movie that was.
Tom Holland is the GOAT Spider Man.

Going in an hour. I'd be more hyped if I wasn't so tired
Logan is the best Xmen movie
Spider-Man 2 is the best Spider-Man movie
Maybe older movies are *gasp* just better than the newer movie sometimes.

Man seeing the Dark knight in the Metreon AMC was insane.Watching this in an hour in San Francisco AMC imax, not the Metreon AMC though
Still goddamn excited.
I was there a few days before opening. It's the only early screening I've ever been to where they didn't oversell. In fact it was only like 40% full and everyone really wanted to be there because it was from an online fan promotion. I also believe that IMAX is useless unless you're near the back and middle which we easily got. That combined with what was on screen makes it easily the best movie experience I've ever had.
Man I feel so goddamn dumb. I'm new to the city and had no clue that was the imax to go to. I ended up buying my tickets for the one on Van Ness instead.
Homecoming at Metreon is basically completely sold out except for the first three rows.
A lot of theaters, especially the big chains, are putting those fancy reclining seats in as another way to entice people to leave their homes and come to a theater to see a movie.
Just came back from seeing it. Now that was a fantastic Spiderman movie.
He's a bit hammy in some scenes, but his character is pretty good.
