My comments: First thoughts? It was really long. There were more fighting scenes than I personally like, but that's what draws a lot of people to it, I guess, especially some of the kids and young men. I loved the comedy. I loved the characters, especially Dr. Strange. And I loved, loved, loved the way they brought back Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire (and since it was a total surprise to me, an exceptional addition!) Every scene with the three Spidermen was exceptional. And I've got to say that Tom Holland was just wonderful in the role.
A huge delight was to be sitting next to Tristan and watch his enjoyment of the movie! It's the first one we've seen together since the pandemic started and that was a real joy, since we used to go frequently before.
Note: Andrew Garfield is now 38 years old, and Tobey Maguire is 46! Tom Holland is a cutesy 25.
RT/ IMDb Summary: For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero's identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares about most at risk. When he enlists Doctor Strange's help to restore his secret, the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who've ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but the future of the Multiverse.
