    Part of the journey is the end. For Tony, anyway. For Peter, it’s a whole new ball game on his own with sky-high expectations on his shoulders, not to mention the prospect of Elemental monsters and a man with a fishbowl on his head. This film has been probably the most controversial among Spidey fans, so what side of the field does it land on?

    After the failure of the Amazing Spider-Man films, and the firing of Andrew Garfield, Sony was in shambles. However, things started looking up for them once they signed a deal with Marvel to put the character in the MCU, rebooting him once again. After making a thunderous and widely acclaimed debut in 2016’s CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, Tom Holland’s iteration of the character has his first solo film released a year after. While the film had widespread critical and audience praise, some fans questioned whether or not it really understood the character.
