Spider-Man: Homecoming' anticipation thread

Works for me. 
My favorite part is the cruise ship rescue scene at the end. I get more of a thrill out of seeing superheroes as rescuers than as fighters, and Spidey having to achieve an impossible feat of strength to save people is one of his classic moves.
Okay trailer. I want this Spider-Man to never move into the half loony/neurotic territory of the awful Garfield performance. Additionally, he should be pushed into breaking out of any resistance to holding back (implied in Stark's dialogue) and aggressively show Vulture (and any onther villain) that he's not to be screwed with by any stretch of the imagination. He's a teenage, but not the eternal doormat / pushover.
Reminds me of the train scene in Spider-Man 2, which is probably my favourite party of the entire Toby Trilogy.
I'm just happy that they seem to have nailed his personality. Finally.
Maybe this will encourage other companies to let Marvel use "their" characters. Here's hoping for the Fantastic Four.

I thought Andrew played him really well in the Amazing films, not his fault Sony botched parts of the 2nd movie.
I hope they show how he gets his powers, I'm a little rusty on that.
ObamaCare wasn't it?
Well, the thing about Hollywood features is that the credited writers often have very little control over the way the script turns out, because they're seen merely as contractors hired to fulfill the directors' vision. For instance, Transformers 2 was developed during the writers' strike, so basically Michael Bay just came up with a bunch of action set pieces he wanted to include, and Orci & Kurtzman's job when they belatedly came in after the strike was merely to write in some connective tissue to get the "plot" from one of Bay's predetermined set pieces to another. So the ideas and structure of the film came from Bay. And often a movie will have a dozen or more writers doing various drafts with only a few getting credited, and who gets credit can have very little to do with who actually contributes the most to a movie (for instance, Graham Yost gets sole credit for Speed even though virtually every line of dialogue in the film is by Joss Whedon).
This is why there's so little correlation in the quality of the different films a writer is credited for, why some can be award-winning masterpieces and other can be total disasters (for instance, John Logan following up the acclaimed Gladiator with the much-derided The Time Machine remake -- and Star Trek Nemesis, a film whose ideas I liked but that suffered due to directorial and editorial choices). Feature-film writers have no control over what the producer or director turn their script into after it leaves their hands, unless the writers are producing or directing the films themselves. Although that may be starting to change a bit now, since more and more film studios are adopting TV-style writers' rooms to develop their films, usually shared-universe franchises but sometimes even standalone films.
Call me jaded but that was my LEAST favorite part by far. I found it completely unrealistic and it took me out of the moment. Just like the convicts not blowing up the other ferry in TDK.
Realistic or not, I personally appreciated the hope, optimism and lack of cynicism in a superhero movie. Qualities I always in enjoy in my superhero movies, now that I think about it.
As for the Spider-Man trailer, LOVED it.
And was that Ganke? If not in name, I love that they're taking such an awesome friendship and character and (seemingly) adapting it here.
That was a good trailer. I was curious to see how the combination of superheroics and high school stuff was going to work and it looks like they did a pretty good job with both.
We didn't see much of Micheal Keaton's Vulture, but what we did see looked good. Hopefully he can give us one of the better MCU villains.
I wonder if what we saw here is the extent of Tony Stark's role in the movie?

The CA helicopter scene doesn't even come close.
What Spidey is doing here, puts Cap to shame.
I wonder if Keaton will be haunted by hallucinations of the Vulture before he takes up the mantle.
It's Ned Leeds, actually. It looks like they're taking names of Peter's supporting cast and giving them to actors who resemble characters from Miles' supporting cast. Who, will likely fill the roles they do in Miles' comics.
