Spider-Man: Homecoming Review - 9 Ups & 3 Downs

1. Hey Sony, Why So F*cking Spoilery?!

If you watched all of the trailers, TV spots and promotional material for Homecoming, 94% isn't just the Rotten Tomatoes score it inspired, it's also the proportion of the film you've already seen when you sit down to watch it. It's almost like the film struggles with that awful bad comedy film disease where all the good jokes are shown off to make you think the whole thing is like that. And ludicrously, Homecoming just doesn't need it.

As it is, there are a couple of magic moments in there still, and two very big gasp-worthy ones, but almost every action scene was needlessly spoiled in some way. It's not ruinous, but there's certainly too much that seems to have been spoiled for cheap marketing heat.

Did we even need Sony to go that hard on the marketing? It's not only an MCU movie but it's a Spider-Man one. That combination is already billion dollar worthy.

Spoiling that much about the film was just vulgar and it would have needlessly robbed a lot of scenes of some of their shine.

And now to the good stuff...
