Isn't he? It was said in the movie that he's a sophomore I believe.
Does that count as a spoiler???

They don't necessarily have to be in real time. Several Phase 1 films take place in the same week. While Guardians 2 is
the same year as Guardians 1.
I don't think so, pretty sure that was revealed in interviews and stuff about this being a continuation of Civil War
Sophomore and he's only 15.
As I said elsewhere, there's no way they pass on a sweet potential title like Spider-Man: Graduation. The next movie he'll still be in high school.

Y'all be real scared of spoilers. I don't see how knowing his school year will ruin the experience for me. It's just the setting. So he was only 14 in Civil War?

I mean, have you seen how some posters react to anything, literally anything being revealed?
It's unbelievable.
What's the soundtrack like for this movie? Giacc-tier or Mahvel-tier?
The director of Valerian himself does not care for 3D, haha. Those are some dubious fucking trailers, made me think this movie was conceived and shot in 3D.
3D is pretty much dead at the creative level. You could say it was never alive. There are only a handful of directors that really cared to use it in a meaningful manner.

it's serviceable and forgettable. doesn't add or detract.

Let's put it this way: at least War for the Planet of the Apes will remind you that Giacchino can do wonderful work.

Damn. I fucking LOVED this movie
Best spidey movie by a country mile for me, and one of the best MCU films

Mahvel-tier. Pretty forgettable even for Mahvel.

The main theme is pretty good for most of it. And his rendition of the Spider-Man theme was godlike but only used in the damn opening credits.
The rest, yeah, utterly forgettable.

The distinction between real and fake 3D means less these days as a statement of quality 3D since 3D conversions can be really good and convincing. The rest ultimately comes down more to whether the director has a good eye for shot composition and interesting dynamic shots.
I think 5th Element would be great in a 3D conversion just due to how Luc Besson shot it. There is lots of depth throughout the film, with stuff in the foreground and far in the background
and characters/objects coming straight at the screen
And that wasn't ever "conceived" for 3D, whatever that means. Jurassic Park had a great 3D conversion rerelease and it's all because it's a well directed film and the technology is there that a film doesn't have to be shot in 3D to have good 3D.
That's not to say that Valerian will have "good 3D", but these paper thin dismissals of 3D are ridiculous.
On topic, the 3D in Spider-Man was okay. There were only a handful of scenes I really felt that were enhanced by it.

Crap you reminded me that the 4K steelbook of The Fifth Element comes out on Tuesday.
I must have it!

Homecoming is supposed to be set in 2017, I believe. Only two months after Civil War.

Gotta say I appreciate how different this was than the other Spider-man movies. Still prefer the Tobey Mcguire films but this is a solid direction to go in IMO.
WAY off topic here, but is that a UK or US release or both? I haven't heard of it and I'm a steelbook NUT.

This is a good film, Tom Holland is fun to watch. I'm slightly surprised at just how high its RT score is but it's definitely a decent film and a step in the right direction from the Amazing Spider-Man films.

Kinda boring, I thought. Wonder Woman was better. I think the RT score had my hopes up too high. Part of the RT aggregate is probably an up-tick because it absolutely didn't suck nearly as bad as Amazing 1 & 2.

I pay to fall asleep at the movies so that I can tell GAF about it.
Yeah, the movie is well paced and flowed nicely, never felt bored at all.

The movie's quite shallow so it can get boring.

Homecoming is longer than many superhero movies but damn, it felt almost too short for me. Had a very brisk pace and I got never bored.

Im excited for you!
god damn that was good. had tempered myself a bit today so that if it was okay it wouldn't be too much of a blow but i ended up with a grin plastered on my face for the whole thing. spider-man 2 may still reign king but homecoming was up there at times. and god damnit i should have seen the post credits scene coming.
