The MCU has a real problem coming up with compelling villains, and while few reactions singled out Michael Keaton's Vulture as one of the movie's highlights or a top-tier franchise baddie, there was nevertheless consistent praise for his work.

Though critics were mercifully light on spoilers, there have been numerous mentions of one particular scene that's "terrifying" and apparently cements that Keaton is as imposing outside of the Vulture suit as he is in it.
