I actually like a lot about this movie. The main morals they try to portray are pretty well done, I guess, though it mostly just acknowledges issues in life, with not much else to say, or it gives a false solution. Something to note is that the main focus is on Peter's inner struggles as opposed to the physical dangers on screen. There is lots and lots of cringe caked on, and some really dumb inclusions which make me not completely recommend this movie, but there is a bit to get from the film when you look a bit closer. Not a whole lot to write home about though.

It's okay. Mysterio is sometimes a funny villain but he's hard to care about. His backstory monologue is F-tier exposition. The movie embraces its own awkwardness pretty well. Too many overused tropes ruin the side characters, though. There's really no single "fix" for this one. It just feels generally flat and uninspired. It's what I would call a "useless" Spider-Man movie. Life would go on if it wasn't a thing.

I honestly don't see the point to this movie. It just seems like one very long lull. Mysterio isn't that great of a villain and it really only serves as a good setup for No Way Home.
