this still gives me chills, especially those opening few seconds. i know some people aren't fond of elfman's work on the raimi spider-man films but i love it so much.

The latest tracking only had this opening to what, 100 mil domestic? That's not a 1B film
Holy crap, so all of it was true after all!!!

Great. Spider-Man swinging is something to see and the Vulture REALLY works here. He looks so scary flying and I loved the way they actually had him putting on the suit.
Vulture actually made me think of what a Metal Gear Solid villain would look like in real life.
I blame Apes dammit! (Another dope ass movie coming)
Baby Driver, Spider-Man HC, and Apes all withing 3 weeks of each other.

I'm happy the PS4 game seems to be doing a decent facsimile of Elfman.
Ok, that sounds very neat, I guess there will be quite a bit of Spider Man vs Vulture scenes, kinda like Spider Man vs Doc Ock in Spider Man 2.
lol yeah some people on here won't be happy about that
I think this is my supervillain origin.

How's the score?
Is it drowned out by diegetic sound?

Squarely in the middle I'd say. He's way more memorable than Malekith or Ultron, but not as great as Kingpin or Killgrave.
Actually one thing that I didn't see mentioned in the Reddit spoilers:
Mac Gargan is in this. He has a scorpion tattooed on his neck and attempts to do an arms deal with Toomes. I hope they bring him back for the sequel as one of the post credit scenes features him.

My curiosity got the better of me and I read the spoiler.

Is the cartoon theme song-based track saved for the credits, or is it used in the movie?
Honestly I don't really remember it. No strong themes that I can recall. Nothing bad either. It did its job and I wouldn't say it was drowned out.

Oh, it's another serviceable score then? I was expecting more from Giacchino.
Dunkirk the week after Apes too!

Being good won't be enough, at least don't get your hopes up too much anyway. I'm currently predicting 800m.

Yeah I don't see it hitting a billion, especially with Apes the week after and all the great buzz that's getting.
Every Spidey film, even ASM2 has made at least $700 million overall, so if this can make $800 million I think Marvel/Sony would be happy.

Based off the samples I wasn't expecting anything amazing honestly, a lot of the score seems all over the place anyway.

Apparently Giacchino's score for War for the Planet of the Apes is one of if not his best work. So, at least there's that.

I liked Fly-By-Night Operation but thought the Suite was rather blah. Was hoping the individual themes would work better.
That's good news!
How much is Tony/Iron Man in the film by your estimation? Does he upstage Spider-Man at all?
Does he ditch all the dumb Stark tech aspects of the suit like the drone and the AI in order to rely on his own skills? Is it true that rather than Peter developing his own alternate forms of webbing, Tony just did it all for him?

The theme as presented in the suite that they released recently is very very good IMO.

And judging by this thread so far, word of mouth is gonna be SUUUUUPER positive.

10-15 minutes tops. I mean he saves Spidey during the Ferry scene but thats the only upstaging scene.
Tony takes Peter's special suit after this and the entire final fight with the Vulture is Peter having to rely on his crappy home made one with shitty web shooters. Tony does make all the alternate webbing for him, which he essentially accesses by having Ned hack past the "training wheels" in the suit

Apes is getting great reviews, so not likely.
There's quite a bit of Tony actually. I was surprised.
there is a lot of Tony suit and tech stuff.
The webbing mix is Peter though.

How "smart" would you say they make Peter?
Super genius comics Pete or just "smarter high school student" Pete?
Don't need specific situations.

I like the "love theme", but a lot of the music struck me as being noisy, still I'll listen to it on its own, and make my own judgment.

All of them? Haha, kind of rough but before Homecoming I'd probably say:
1.) Winter Soldier
2.) Dark Knight
3.) Guardians
4.) Logan
5.) Spidey 2

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Has there been any reactions to Dunkirk yet? Apes sounds like it's good, but I haven't heard anything about it. Both are probably taking a big hit if Spidey is this good.

Smarter high schooler, though he's clearly the smartest kid in his school. There's actually a funny scene where he's in a chemistry lab where he's making web fluid while simultaneously working on a school project while his teacher is talking.

Dunkirk sure. Apes I doubt. Spidey will probably do massive internationally but will have some competition domestically. Can't forget despicable me 3 comes out this week as well.
