First thing I did when I woke up.
And…it looks pretty damn good. The high school stuff looks great (and actually looks way more like an NYC high school than they’ve ever managed before), the humor and the street-level crime-fighting are a good sign, the interactions with Tony Stark are great, I can see a good thematic through-line about adolescence being the time when you want to be an adult but you’re not ready yet.
The Washington D.C stuff is a bit weird, because Spiderman is such a NYC-based character, and building heights limits in DC make his webswinging difficult, but it looks to be just a portion of the movie. The Vulture looks nothing like what I thought – looks like military tech rather than an old dude in a wingsuit. Keaton will do a great job out of the suit, but we’ll see how well it works in the moment.
I don’t know whether it’ll beat Spiderman 2 for best Spidey film ever (and even then, there were parts of the Raimi films I never got into), but it looks like it’ll give it a run for its money.
