As empty as Far From Home was, this one is far worse. It's super flimsy in its construction and has the gall to try and hang emotional weight to something so barely held together by spiderwebbing.

Still, Spidey's teenage pals find a way to wrestle the entire thing away from all the multiverse collisions and do the best job of grounding it. Similarly, two characters that don't belong here play off one another so well, it's as if they'd been rehearsing this somewhere as a Two -Man Show.

Finally: I still do not like Dr. Strange nor all that comes with him: character, visuals, and undefined ability set.

Grade: C+

Strong disagree. It's about the (spoils) - Reagen May 12, 07:58 9
- It has that. But it doesn't take enough time to breathe for that to be as important. Second-chances gets drilled much harder. (spoiler) - Qale May 12, 08:05 2
  - There's certain things you don't have to re-establish everytime. That's how you get Dem Pearls in every Batman movie. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 08:07 1
    - Oh, I agree. But how did this exercise move us forward? I'd say not only it didn't, but undid progress that had already been made with the character. -- nm - Qale May 12, 08:10
- ooooh, nice. bravo -- nm - mud May 12, 08:04
- Well said. To me, it is one of the most *complete* movies of the MCU. -- nm* - Spawn May 12, 08:02 4
  - Complete is in quotes because it's actually very much not? (spoiler) - Qale May 12, 08:09 3
    - Fixed it for you! - Spawn May 12, 08:10 2
      - That’s okay. I still have Multiverse of Madness to see. -- nm - Qale May 12, 08:16 1
        
        I am sure you will love it. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 08:17
Yeah, nobody will go see that one. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 07:53 1
- It only made $154,017 last weekend. It's a big-time loser at the box office. -- nm - Qale May 12, 07:59
I agree for the most part. (spoils) - Inigo May 12, 07:40
THANK YOU. Granted, you'll get yelled at like I did for saying this. -- nm - MDH May 12, 07:35 1
- There is nothing wrong with fan service, though. I fully embrace the idea that fans will and should give this an A+ -- nm - Qale May 12, 07:36
