Probably my favourite of the Tom Holland Spider-Man films.
It balanced a Peter-centric story pretty well with all the larger MCU references. My wife, who has seen half of Homecoming and little else MCU loved it, and didn’t get lost with any of the tie-ins.
It created a great internal conflict for Peter that reflected well in Jean’s story. Got a little bit teary in the final Aunt May sequence.
I do feel like it could have benefited from shaving about 15-20 mins off. The movie felt like it reached a climax, and then there was another 20-30 minutes for the second real climax. Shaving some of the scenes off the front end could have tightened the whole experience. What I would remove I can’t say though.
longer movies are fine for me. It probably got longer because they tried to add other characters to at least link it to the MCU or that they had to have sufficient backstory so new viewers could still follow.

Long movies to me are kind of a double-edged sword.
Great when I’m going to see an anticipated film in a theater, and I’m digging it and don’t want it to end.
But annoying if I ever want to watch it again at home.
