This was super good, and probably the best compliment that I can give to it is that I walked away wanting a sequel, like, immediately. The ending was really well done, and sets the stage for a compelling story moving forward - on both the super-hero and personal fronts. I really hope that Sony doesn't try to go solo from here and keeps collaborating with Marvel Studios, because it obviously made a world of difference. I thought there was a lot of chatter that they want to do the opposite, though, which would be a shame.

This was 100% Ultimate Spider-Man the movie and I couldn't have been happier.

In addition to Spider-Man being in the next two avengers movies, Kevin Feige has recently said that Homecoming 2 is going to "launch phase 4" and that there's going to be a homecoming 3

That's good. Sony can fail at spinning off as many Venom movies as they want, but Tom Holland needs to stay on as Peter Parker for a while. No more reboots, this was a winning formula.

Keaton was really amazing, but I think it's unfair to downplay Holland's really good take on Peter Parker - probably the best I've seen on screen so far. It's pretty apparent that the team on Homecoming really "gets" Peter as a character (moreso than Slott and the current team on the comic books, I'd argue).

Like, you never heard the words "with great power..." in this movie. But they had a number of scenes where Holland really sells Peter struggling with having to give up being a normal kid to do what he knows he has to do. They also layer in a bit of him just really enjoying being Spider-Man, and shades of "addiction" underlying some of the reluctance.

Honestly, probably the best take on super-hero "coming of age" out there.

There was a girl in the background of several school shots with distractingly platinum blonde hair that I'm forced to think is a reference to Felicia Hardy or something.

If you're talking about the girl that was on the high school news program, that was Betty Brandt.
