Going to see Spider-man homecoming in the morning.
With a 94% positive Rotten Tomatoes rating and after reading so many glowing reviews I am really looking forward to it.
I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a Spider-man movie since 2004.

We saw it last night and it was very enjoyable. It is good that Sony decided to partner with Marvel and let Spiderman join the MCU--that move helped both franchises. Where we saw it actually offered a double-feature but we already saw GotG2 so we left during the intermission.
This marks the third time that Michael Keaton has played a superhuman character whose basis is a flying creature.
Okay, so Flash Thompson is no longer an arrogant football jock but an arrogant Academic Decathlon person. Speaking of Academic Decathlon....what they show in the movie isn't AD, it's Quiz Bowl. Quiz Bowl is comprised of teams answering the questions by ringing the bell; Decathlon events are (or were) Scan-Tron based with individual members competing for trophies then the combined team scores for team trophies. I didn't get many first place wins but I scored second place wins in almost every event and wound up with the highest overall score in addition to having the most trophies. It paid off not being a one-hit wonder.
Also, one question they asked was ambiguous. The question was "which element is the heaviest naturally-occuring element?" The guy on their team answered "uranium", which is true, but one could also make the case for "osmium", the element with the highest density which is also naturally occurring. The question needs to be clarified. But enough about that.
Incidentally, there is no way that Aunt May (they don't really use "aunt" in this movie, but that's okay) can be unaware of her nephew's double life. She comes home, Peter isn't there, then she goes to his room and there he is. That alone is suspicious enough, unless climbing in through his window from the fire escape is normal...except...there is no fire escape for him to climb. Anyway....
