Just got back from Spider-Man: Homecoming, and while I liked it overall I wasn't blown away. The writing for almost everything on the part of the villains struck me as poorly thought-out or contrived (no knock on Michael Keaton's acting, though, he did the best he could with what they gave him), and I did not appreciate the script
making Happy a careless, duty-shirking incompetent or Pepper someone who would approve of Tony putting a 15-year-old on a superhero team that's had a crippling injury and a death in its previous outings... or who would blindly assume that Tony would actually bother to consult the legal guardian of said child
.
Tom Holland was everything I'd hoped for though—far and away the best version of Spider-Man himself I've seen on screen.

Hemsworth is really nailing those comic lines. That's what happens when you hang around RDJ for half a decade.
That is going to be a lot of fun.
(But I liked the teaser trailer better for pacing and music.)
A lot of indy directors, if you give them a big budget, they'll just end up squandering it. Kevin Feige is really good at picking the ones who can handle it. (Well, OK, Joss kind of blew it the second time around, but still)
I wouldn't attribute Age of Ultron's problems to money-intensive stuff like scope, locations, or FX though. It wasn't like BvS where you can pretty much spot the moment in the film when the budget ran out and the CGI renderings started looking like a cheap videogame.
I was not wild about Spider-Man. It stressed me out that he was such a menace! Stop causing disasters, kid! Call the cops and go home!!
