The initial concept of the film is good and has entertained the original book by Dave Eggers. (2 more)

Tom Hanks' performance.

The quality of production design/mise-en-scene was high and well thought out.

Emma Watson's attempt at an authentic Californian accent is par and not up to her reputation as a great actress. (5 more)

Many misleading sub-plots which only allow the main story-line to be shrouded in confusion.

The awkward dialogue lead to uncertainty on the character relationships, which in turn exemplifies the poor attempt to achieve a suspension of disbelief.

Many unnecessary characters were implemented into the story which only allowed for more confusion of the main plot.

No apparent character arcs, other than that of Mae Holland and partially Annie Allerton.

Extremely anti-climatic ending.

A circle has no ending, neither does this film.

Captain America - after credits

Jacob Batalon as Ned (absolutely hilarious!!)

Had high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. Homecoming was surprisingly funny and definitely worth the watch !

Loved the video diary at the beginning!! Tom Holland was a great choice to play young spider-man!
There's no origin story, so for anyone who isn't familiar then watch the earlier movies (which I highly doubt) There are a view plot twist thrown in which you wouldn't expect (but I won't spoil anything) The way the movie was shot felt like it wasn't trying too hard which definitely worked to it's benefit, I feel like movie nowadays try to shove so much CGI that it takes away from the story and actors, but this was really refreshing, hence why I love the video diary at the beginning so much
