Seventh Spider-Man movie gets off to a slightly wobbly start, almost seeming to have been slipped a real hospital pass by Endgame: clearly it feels obliged to address the rather messy state of the MCU, in addition to making a big fuss about being a proper MCU film (much more than the non-Sony MCU films do). However, once Spider-Man and his moderately amazing friends head off to Europe the film perks up considerably, especially with the appearance of Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio (Gyllenhaal is very good value).

The film is genuinely funny and benefits a lot from a clever plot - the problem is that the nature of the plot is extremely guessable, even if you're only passingly familiar with the comics. Still, good jokes, nice performances, and the best Tower Bridge-based VFX sequence since Gorgo in 1961. I think it would be unwise to try and intuit the whole future direction of the Marvel project from this one film, but this is still good (if slightly uneven) fun.

Great Start!
I have seen so many adaptations of Spider-Man, I honestly wondered what they were going to do here for the MCU. It’s the same mythos, but it’s already been established. We’ve already moved on from it, and we really see how Peter lives his life being Spider-Man.

This series of comics focuses on the 'red in my ledger' aspect of Black Widow, as was mentioned in the MCU film, The Avengers. Which was a good direction to go to get people interested in a Black Widow comic. Overall, a great opening volume of the series.

Ok film at Not too Not the N
Not the worst MCU film that is still Thor dark world but the story wasn't very interesting and never really felt engaged with any of the characters in it. Wouldn't watch it again and glad didn't pay to see it at the cinema.

The MCU was in full swing during the summer blockbuster season of 2011. Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III, Jumanji) helmed this adaptation of the comic with his usual confidence. Chris Evans has now become a staple of the MCU and his origins story is definitely one of the most interesting.

The villains, well, they suffer here and are frankly a little ridiculous, but the special effects are on-point and it has a great score by Alan Silvestri. All in all, a pretty average first outing for the First Avenger, but one to build on with the two sequels that followed.

Just seen at my local cineworld was it worth waiting 15 months due to pandemic yes it was worth the wait its good to the mcu back when the marvel logo came up I cheered. anyway the film the film was amazing scarlett and Florence were exceptional especially Florence who's been good since fighting with my family 2 years ago plenty of good action scenes could have done with more taskmaster who was underused but wasn't expecting the reveal behind the mask at all. Overall good movie it's good to finally get the mcu back on the big screen also stay past the end credits for a extra scene

Blade.

The Daywalker.

The half human/half vampire hybrid, waging a one-man war on the vampire underground.


And still to officially enter the MCU, with this film pre-dating even the creation of that cinematic universe by a good 10 years or so, and very much a product of its time: lots of leather and shades!

It also stars a pre-prison for tax evasion Wesley Snipes as the titular character, and is quite a bit gorier than the MCU movies tend to be.

I remember, also, thinking at the time just how much of a letdown La Magra, the Blood God, made out to be the 'big bad' was as well ...

Great End
I'm gonna keep this short and spoiler free. This movie does the MCU justice. I was extremely satisfied with how the story ends, and I think most fans will be. A couple of things were less than spectacular, but overall I can't find much to complain about.

As excited as I am for Ant Man and The Wasp, I can't help but feel the experience won't be the same as the first. Mainly because Paul Rudd came out to introduce the film at the screening I was at for it and now every subsequent MCU has been missing that epicness!

Same. The trailer didn't do much for me, but then neither did the trailer for the first one- Thomas the Tank Engine cameo aside.
