Charlie’s Review

What I liked

I liked how the movie mixes action, heart, and humor without ever slowing down. The scenes of Spider‑Man swinging through New York looked exciting, and I enjoyed watching Peter Parker learn what it really means to be a hero.

What I didn’t like

I didn’t like that some of the dialogue felt a little cheesy, especially during a few of the emotional moments. A couple of the fight scenes were also a bit over the top, which pulled me out of the story for a second.

Who should watch this movie?

Anyone who enjoys superhero movies, fun action, or stories about ordinary people becoming something more should watch this. It’s also great for fans who like classic, early‑2000s comic‑book style adventures.
