I have some problems with this movie. A parachute shaped like a spider is stupid. That would serve to give you terrible drag. The joke about "we need to talk about you and my aunt" is a great joke in the absolutely worst place possible. It makes no sense in that scene. The scene where Spider-Man goes full Iron Man is stupid. Because Spider-Man isn't Iron Man. They're completely different characters not the same character with different powers. Tony Stark is a tech obsessive genius. Peter Park is a smart kid who grapples with morality.
I think it says a lot about the film that my problems with it are in the end so small. There's LOT I loved about it. Mysterio was done brilliantly. With the exception of his death. I think Marvel is starting to develop a problem of killing off their villains. Killmonger and now Mysterio. Both of these (along with Vulture of all characters) are great. They were acted well. they were written well. They were genuine but not overly exaggerated threats. They're the type of villain the comic book superhero movies need. The type that can realistically come back and be taken seriously. And yet they are killed it's frustrating. Hopefully Mysterio's fate will be revealed to be more ambiguous.
If you've seen the trailers you know that Mary Jane figures out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and it is both touching and funny in the unique way that Spider-Man films are. I think there are too many Spider-Man films. I think he's a character that's done to death. Everything about him is done to death. And yet... Homecoming managed to charm me after the horrendous clowning that was done in Amazing Spider-Man (Great PP, Bad SM) with a Peter Parker that felt fun and a Spider-Man that felt different enough.
About the after film scenes. There are two one mid credits and one post credits. I was told there were good and honestly they were. Quite possibly the best after film scenes of the MCU. I'm glad they got J. Jonah Jameson back and having Nick Fury be a Skrull does answer the post Avengers question of "Why is this world ending event down to this movies superhero". It's been a problem since the first Avengers movie.
