The BvS early reactions were from a bunch of random people on twitter, weren't they? I'm trying to include only critics, reporters, writers, etc. in the OP. This is more akin to the Wonder Woman early impressions.The One and Done™;241677624 said:

He also said it's his favourite Spidey film.
They sure well seem like it.
Hope this is the case.

At this point the cliche isn't that early impressions are positive
It's that 15 people are going to roll in to make sure you absolutely 100% understand that "early impressions are always positive"
(They're not always positive, and they're not always early impressions from easily impressed amateur YouTube rubes who hiccup and ahh like babies finally noticing the mobile over their cribs)

It worries me that both of the immediate reviews feel Homecoming falls short of Raimi's original Spiderman.
I mean, I love that movie, but it hasn't aged particularly well. It's got a lot of flaws, especially in the action department.
At times it's basically a big budget Power Rangers episode.
That's basically how I felt on rewatch. I used to like the movies way more but they don't hold up for me. I feel like there's is some nostalgia speaking when people compare it to those especially because a lot remember what the movies meant for comic book movies at the time. It was an amazing achievement but dunno as a casual watcher today I have a far better time with even the amazing spiderman 1 and it just boils down to cringing less. Especially everything peter/MJ in the first two is kinda unenjoyable to me.
That said I won't expect anything amazing out of homecoming just at base an enjoyable flick ala antman. Being a casual movie watcher expectations seem to influence my enjoyment a lot. The impression for guardians 2 were so lukewarm at the time hammering not as good as the first one and in the end after watching it twice I think I enjoy it more than the first one tbh.

Still not really sold, have a lot of spider fatigue and I've always dreaded this would be a teen movie.
I'm sure it will be ok but I'm more hyped for Thor 3 and JL.

The wirework and campy action scenes in Spider-Man are part of the charm for me. This is SAM RAIMI we're talking about. Give him today's tech and a 500 million dollar budget and you'd get the exact same type of action with the exact same wirework.
I mean, from the get go we were told his was a teen movie. It was that approach that had everyone excited for the movie.

bitch no they weren't
also, as always, the only impressions that matter pre-release are mine, GAF's pre-eminent film reviewer
yea and it's still just as schmaltzy, boring and pathetic in the action department as it was when it first came out. what about it?
They're rebooting Spider-Man again?

Honestly if there's any franchise that's completely fitting for Marvel's "same tone same formula", it's Spiderman. Goofy light hearted action and quips is absolutely PERFECT for this Peter Parker. I just really really really hope Michael Keaton is a good villain worthy of being compared to the villains of the earlier Spiderman films.

You'll be lucky if Sony sends you a basket of two week old muffins.
My man I completely agree Spider-Man 2 is the worst Spider-Man movie.
1 > ASM 2 > 3 >ASM 1 > 2
This movie sounds bad if it's even worse the 2.

Didn't affect me tbh. But then I don't think lines by themselves make me cringe. It's always several factors involved. Star Wars prequels are full of cringe but then we have McGregor carrying the shit out of his awful lines and it comes to a net 0 for me.

I've traveled into the reality where Amazing Spider-Man 2 has stolen Spider-Man 2's body and is ruining his reputation to make another, unrelated Spider-Man look good.
incredible
Still gonna wait until home release. Not a huge Spiderman fan and while this sounds like a solid film like most MCU offerings I'm guessing this will be more of the same with more jokes than I'd prefer. If it gets Wonder Woman praise I'll probably check it out in theaters.

Good reactions. Though I think people put too much stock into specific opinions, there's good reactions there but we jump at the "third best" like it's confirmed by that person. Maybe they REALLY love the first two. Personally I don't love the first one so taking that into account, for me, I could easily like this more.
I also really like both Amazing movies, the first more so than the second, so there's difference in opinions across the board pretty much with these movies.

Might as well call this Iron Man 4 amiright?
Funny that GotG2s villain was an absolute waste
should have went with Jason instead of Ego

I don't know if everyone excited is accurate, seemed like a good portion of people wanted adult peter in that thread.

Also "great villain with depth" is a big deal for me as what made SM2 so great IMO was the villain and his impact on Peter. So if that has merit, I'm already sold there more than the villains in any since Ock.
