    I mean, it seems pretty clear a large percentage of people who saw this enjoyed it immensely so I’m not surprised. It has a 99% rating user score on RT. Every forum I’m on has people praising it.

    The person running the projector should have taken a bow at the end of every screening.

    It's also more of a meme than a movie

    The entire Raimi trilogy has been resurrected as a gigantic meme thanks to r/raimimemes

    The whole of pop culture is just meme fodder now. Welcome to 2021. They're even memeing The Power of the Dog. No movie or TV show is safe.

    yep, them and r/prequelmemes have managed to keep different movie series' very popular lol


    I'm pretty sure at this point I actually like the prequels better than the sequels, in large part because meme culture has made me appreciate them more lol

    Turning the prequels into memes allowed a lot of joy to enter each film. Moments that previously took themselves too seriously are now hilarious.

    I'm allowed to not like a movie lol especially one that is designed to do nothing more but make everyone clap like a seal on command while the rest of the industry burns to the ground

    So the MCU is chasing the reactions of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room?

    That doesn’t say anything about the film itself. You just have beef with the general ticket-purchasing audience.

    This thread is really giving me big "walk into the ocean" energy. You can interpret that however you want.

    People (stupidly) clap for blockbuster movies literally all the time, it's annoying af. If you think that's solely a Marvel phenomenon then you must not go out to the movies much.

    But Marvel does design moments specifically for it. I don’t mind, it happens and I don’t care, but that’s why I said it’s like WWE. They want the Cap with Thor’s hammer moment in theaters and pack movies with everything they can to get fans excited, which is often terrible storytelling imo but definitely a successful tactic for engaging their audience

    Someone in my audience let out the biggest hyena laugh at the "I'm something of a scientist myself" line. I forgot to mention this in my original post on the movie and it seems strangely appropriate to mention now.

    I've gone to the movies at least 30 times post-vaccine. It was an oversimplification of my feelings on the movie and the culture at large right now. Don't get me wrong, I clapped at Endgame. But to me personally, it felt cheap here. And I'm someone that holds the Raimis in very high regard.

    It's one of those things where I was fine with it while watching it, but the more I've thought about since seeing it the more I dislike it. Like.... it looked like shit. It felt like a movie designed by an algorithm (which to this day I am not sure if Jon Watts is a real person).

    Hilarious it took 3 solo Spidey movies to get to this reset point

    The person two seats left of me did a falsetto whooping cackle at literally every single comedic moment in this movie

    It did get a big laugh from everyone in my theater too.

    The weirdest moment for me was literally nobody in my theater realized Andrew Garfield was Andrew Garfield until he physically removed his mask the first time. That's when the pop happened, not when you first saw him in the portal and it was clearly him because his suit is so distinct. Baffling.
