Spider-man has always been one of my favorite superheroes. I have watched cartoons, played games and loved the original trillogy. Since the reboot, spiderman went from the world's top 2 supehero to a mere cog in the MCU who got "chosen" by Tony Stark to take orders from obnoxious Nick Fury like a soldier and not a hero.

Gone are the days when Spider-man had to figure out how to solve problems on his own and be courageous to get back up every time he got knocked down. Now, like in Homecoming, everything can be solved with nifty gadgets and infinite budgets. There is no sense of danger and we never fear for Spider-man's life as everything is formulaic and weak simoly to fit into MCU. The movie had potential but instead of focusing on serious topics, it wasted it's potential on irrelevant parts.

Jake Gyllenhaal did not dissapoint and Mysterio was spectacular from the look to the awesome special effects but even he couldn't save this mediocrity. The school trip plot was a collection of nonsensical moments full of irritating characters supplied with patheric dialogue and cheap jokes. Any time one of the kids opened their mouth, I wanted to take out my eyes and plug my ears with them so I wont have to see or hear them. Somehow after fighting alongside Avengers, Peter managed to become even more awkward to the point of absurdity. As a fan of original Spider-Man, I am extremely saddened by what was done to my beloved character.
