With good reason. They shouldn't have for almost 10 years imo aside from Logan

Not to say that 7ish average on RT is bad tho, far from it. People obsess over these scores a bit too often now tbh

That part in Kotaku's Mass Effect: Andromeda article about Bioware/EA's obsession with Metacritic scores -- and how that's apparently standard practice in the industry -- is just fucking insane to me.

The villain stuff is what is intriguing me. Mahvel might have finally figured out that they need better villains going forward.

i.e. they need more Michael Keaton

Didnt Obsidian lose out on bonus payment from Bethesda because Fallout New Vegas got less than an 85 on metacritic? I think that's the most insane story I've heard.

I like the comments that this does street level hero in the MCU in some ways better than the shows that are about street level heroes in the MCU. Not being hamstrung by the whole weird TV vs Film butting heads thing lets them present a street level view of what you'd think the MCU world would actually look like.

I can't wait for the snarky comment in the Defenders about the dude who swings around wearing red and blue pajamas.

Critic Consensus: Spider-Man: Homecoming does whatever a second reboot can, delivering a colorful, fun adventure that fits snugly in the sprawling MCU without getting bogged down in franchise-building.

Not only is Spider-Man: Homecoming the best movie in the character's big-screen history so far, it makes a strong case for consideration as one of the most entertaining and satisfying superhero movies in recent years. For Spider-Man and his fans, the return of everyone's favorite web-slinger to the Marvel universe is a homecoming to be proud of.

Powered by music from the Ramones and a newfound urge to win over audiences who lost some faith in the character once he was pulled out of Sam Raimi's hands, ”Homecoming" rivals the helmer's ”Spider-Man 2" as an authoritative, triumphantly cinematic take on web-slinger action and emotion. Watts does an outstanding job keeping the feature on the move, attentive to character nuance and smash-em-up action, reviving interest in Spider-Man's position as an aspiring Avenger and his daily life as a student, LEGO master builder, and young man in love. ”Spider-Man: Homecoming" is a delight, emerging as pure spirit in a genre that's already greeted more than its share of appealing heroes. It's the best homecoming imaginable.

I see BGE has been bought off by Marvel, look at him scouring the net for these obscure sites for positive reviews

How much was your soul worth?!

Honestly it would be surprising if the MCU had a "bad" film. I think the last one that wasn't at least in the 70's was Gaf's favorite film, Thor: The Dark World. We are in the golden age of comic book films. The only film that could possibly not review well this year would be Justice League, but with the success of Wonder Woman I can see the DCEU doing really well review wise (after Justice League). Spider-Man was the first film I ever saw in theatres, and while the last reboot didn't do that well, I am cautiously optimistic about this film. Glad to see it doing well review-wise.

As someone who grew up on Ultimate Spider-Man comics, a lot of those review comments are hitting that nostalgia hard.

Kind of wish they kept Fury as his mentor, but that wouldn't make as much sense considering the current state of the MCU. And Stark makes perfect sense as the mentor in the movies

B-G-E was bought off by Marvel years ago. They have him on retainer now. $50 per inflated box office prediction, $200 per thread.

I never had any doubts Homecoming would review well...great, in fact. Spider-Man is the #1 bankable superhero on the planet, and there's no way Marvel would have anything less than a stellar movie debut for him.

Glad to see my prediction come true. 😊

"It doesn't have dramatic worth, or a great story, or is remarkable in any sense.. but it's FUN, like, it has HUMOR which is so UNIQUE, 9/10 the future of super hero movies".

Give me a break. Spider-Man is one of those characters that have like lots of material to take inspiration from to make a legit great story, be it on high school or adult setting, you name it. But Disney genericness knows no bounds.

I'd rather have another Sony movie.

And sadly it didn't prove me wrong.

The second best part of any MCU movies are reactions like this. Thank you, friend. 😘

Fuck yes. Spidey is up there with Batman as my two favorite super heroes, so I'm fucking ready for this.

There is a part of me that is sad imagining what Marvel would do with the X-Men now, though, seeing them get control of Spider-Man and knocking it out of the park (seemingly).

I see those Disney checks arrived early, lol.

Reviews sound very promising. Even better then I was expected. Of course we've got several more reviews to go anyway, but hey it's better then nothing.

Tobeys Spider-Man doesn't even feel like Spider-Man. It's mostly the writers fault, but when he was Spider-Man he rarely had the signature charm or wit. His Peter was pretty good though.

I'm not saying Tobey was amazing but he was way better than that clown Garfield, i hated him as Spidey and Peter Parker.

Yeah, even though I grew up reading comics from the late 80s on, I didn't get into Spidey until Ultimate. Ultimate Spidey is my spidey, so I'm digging everything I'm seeing.
