About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a more serious, character-focused Spider-Man reboot with strong chemistry and crowd-pleasing action, similar to Spider-Man (2002) or Spider-Man: Homecoming; Not for you if you’re tired of origin stories.

Pros: likable lead performance; sweet romance; fun action beats | Cons: familiar origin story; plot holes and leaps; villain less compelling
