Sony's Spider-Man 4 (sequel to "No Way Home")

So the movie is out on streaming so I watched it for free on the illegal streaming sites, I didn't see this one in theaters so this is my first time.

I really liked it. There was far less typical "Marvel humor" in this than previous movies, the dialogue didn't make me roll my eyes and a lot of the sarcastic humor (mostly from Frank) worked really well. As mentioned it felt like a "grown up" Spider-man world and I liked that a lot.

The overall plot was really good, I enjoyed Peter struggling with his powers, trying to reconnect with MJ and Ned, and how it tied into Jean Grey. Punisher/Frank was great in every scene he was in, his actor is the best in the MCU right now. I also enjoyed how the climax of the movie wasn't one big epic set-piece or showdown like usual, just Spiderman fighting some ninjas and then a talk with Jean Grey.

Jean Grey herself was great, I liked her in Stranger Things and she did great here. I didn't know she could teleport into peoples minds like that, unless that's new. It really proves also how if Jean Grey never met Prof. X (eventually) she'd become a full blown villain. Can't wait to see the X-men and the new Charles. Punisher shooting Peter was nice too, because it shows how flawed he is.

Now for some negatives or things I was mixed on:

- Hulk was kinda just there in the movie to give an action sequence in the middle. I didn't dislike his inclusion, but if all we saw was Banner at the school at the beginning that would have been fine with me. I mean it's just another Hulk brawl, and it was over quickly enough.

- Yelena is so fat. I have no idea how anyone finds her attractive. She looked so fat in the pool scene, literally gross. I wouldn't touch her with a 37 and a half foot pole.

- Michael Mando got SCREWED as Scorpion. Back in 2017 he had been waiting 9 years to play Scorpion in a movie, and all he gets is a brief montage at the beginning and then a fight scene where he's possessed by Jean Grey and not even himself? Man his actor must be pissed, imagine waiting 9 years to get two minor scenes in a movie. I laughed when I realized "that was it?" for his role once we got toward the end of the movie.

- I liked seeing Aunt May again, but man Marisa Tomei really aged in the last decade. Back in 2017 she still looked hot and young enough, now you can tell she's visibly aged. Man females age so bad once they get older, such a shame as she was beautiful in the 90's.

- I enjoyed the Peter/MJ scenes and with Ned, them regaining their memories is fine with me.

I think it's my favorite of the 4 Spider-man movies of the MCU.
