Nice narration, yes... though should it be "recounting" rather than "recanting"...?

It would have been fun to have kept the same J. Jonah Jameson actor, though having him in two comics franchises at once could have been confusing.

I like the new suit with the wings, back to the original suite from the comic books.

Well, they finaly got Spidey right!

Tom Holland is perfect----just the right age and the right personality!

As a film it felt right in the Marvel Universe unlike the previous incarnations. Still, Aunt May is a bit too young and too hot...But I'll overlook that in light of the fact that this film hit all the marks in every other way!

I won't discuss any of the other spoilers, but just say----as someone who picked up SPIDER-MAN #1 AND AMAZING FANTASY #15 right off the newstand and have loved him ever since, this film hits the marks on all the key points! I grew up with Spidey. We were high school students at the same time. We went to college together. I felt the same kind of angst he did and felt along with Peter Parker the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune".

This film was contemporary with the TwentyTeens....But it touched on the universality of all our lives regardless of age.

Highly reccommended!

As I recall they only popped out in the scene where Spidey jumps off the Washington Monument.

Yes, the Tony Stark-designed suit has a lot of cool extras, as you would expect.

I can report that it is indeed an excellent movie - great fun. As well as Tony Stark, we get a useful role for Happy Hogan, and an appearance by another Iron Man cast regular. And the Stan Lee cameo is fairly early on, when he is among the nearby apartment-dwellers who complain when Peter's apprehension of a would-be car thief sets off a loud alarm.

There's the usual extra scene early on in the end credits, with Michael Keaton having a meaningful conversation with a colleague... and if you stick with the credits to the very end, something else which should raise a chuckle.

So, bringing Spidey home to Marvel is a success - something which one knows very early on. After a short introduction set a few years back setting up the backstory for the Vulture, we get proper Marvel credits, and the music, we soon realise, is an orchestral version of the theme song from the original TV series!

I finally got around to watching this movie today, and I was amused by the fact that there were two slight changes in the traditional characters.

First of all, Flash Thompson is Hispanic (the actors name is Tony Revolori, but his real name is Anthony Quinonez). Flash started out as a carrot-top red head in the original comics.

Second of all, Aunt May is played by Marisa Tomei. Having read the comic books in the 1960s I've thought Rosemary Harris was the perfect Aunt Mae. I was a little put off by the prior Spider-Man movies when they recast the role with Sally Fields.

But Marisa Tomei as Aunt Mae . . . well, that seems like a pretty drastic departure from the character's origins.

I mean, come on . . . if Aunt May had looked like this when I was reading the comics in the 1960s, I would have hidden them under my mattress with certain other magazines I enjoyed from time to time. Shocked

Apparently, Marisa Tomei is now 53 years old, which seems a reasonable age for Peter's aunt, even though the comic has always shown Aunt May as rather old and frail, and she does look approximately twenty years younger than that.

A "who's dated who" site mentions that she and Robert Downey Jr dated back in 1993/94, and were in the movie Only You (1994) together...
