I haven't been following. Maybe it's too light for people who wanted more heavy action? Some people I know loved it, others not so much.
I've still only seen it once; I think I'll settle for it being a really enjoyable part of something bigger, i.e. the MCU.
It hasn't stayed with me and the humour isn't on par with the heist antics of Ant-Man.
I still really dig it and for the most part love Holland's Spidey, but I suppose it's a little uneven.
But most of the effects-laden light entertainment I love is more about characters and set-pieces than fine cinema. It's all very expensive pulp.
I'll have to think about what could qualify as a truly strong film that transcends genre. Iron Man comes to mind as close, except the end fight and Stane were kind of a letdown.
'89 Batman has a number of holes, but somehow holds together on a fairytale level.
Other than that, Ant-Man somehow channels MCU meets the '80s meets Guy Ritchie.
I loved Ed Norton as the Hulk in spite of the film's weaknesses, and enjoy the build-up in Avengers.
CA: The First Avenger was great, Civil War had some weak writing but incredible action; GOTG reminds me of the '80s stylistic callbacks like Ant-Man. I need to watch TWS again...
If I think about it, most of these films lose it a bit for me in the 3rd act; maybe the CG, maybe the lack of stakes.
Yet I love it all. Marvel's got my money, as long as they don't screw up as badly as they did with Iron Fist.
