Genuinely surprised that except for 10% of the audience, the rest walked away when the end credits started rolling but I didn't like the post credit scene much lol.
The lead actors did a remarkable job. Tom Holland is bang on the money.
Movie was decent. I was expecting more TBH. Most scenes happen in the dark with loads of flashing lights which means this has the potential to sparkle on capable HDR displays.
Glad that we got a Hollywood movie crossing the $1bn mark after a while.

Looking forward to watching Doctor Strange 2. |
Finally got round to seeing this last week, also at a Vue.
1 - Yes, the picture quality was woeful.
2 - I too expected more. The film had been bigged-up massively, and whilst I liked it, I didn't think it was as good as the previous two offerings, despite obvious massive potential.
3 - Yes, I suspect the UHD disc will look spectacular.
4 - Right, I've pondered this happening before, but for the first time it actually happened with this film. Well...
[Show spoiler]Where's everyone else? The entire universe of Spider-Man (the 3rd, the MCU) is at risk of absolute chaos, and there's Spider-Man and two other Spider-Men, along with Dr Strange and 2 non-super hero mates battling a small handful of lower-league supervillains in an attempt to stop it. I'm not taking about the magic - Strange is there for that - but there's a whole, tried-and-tested super hero vs super villain physical battle going on and preventing him from sorting the spells, and in the end it's a close thing, resulting in Spider-Man (as is) being lost to the Avengers.
So where's Thor? Where's Hulk? Where's Black Panther? Where's Ant-Man? Where Pepper Potts in the Iron Man suit? This band of loyal friends, who've saved the universe, and sometimes had to go through heart-breaking, gut-wrenching decisions over helping their dear super hero friends, or staying in the battle, are suddenly nowhere to be found when Peter Parker needs them to protect his identity as Spider-Man, and their continued knowledge of his existence. Or, alternately, the very fabric of this universe ripping open, unless Dr Strange gets a little protection from The Goblin & co. while he casts his spells. Instead, it appears they're taking a fortnight off on a beach in Spain. Or something.
If Hulk & Thor turn up, it's a pretty one-side battle; an easy win for the Avengers. Because they don't, serious damage is (potentially) done, and it could have been far, far worse. And every MCU film is going to be like that, now. Unless it's a 'potentially end-of-the-universe' story, like the Infinity films, any attempt to make a stand-alone story is in danger of looking like the other Avengers are just AWOL. I mean, one or two might be stuck on Ragnarok, or something. But all of them?
The MCU was a great idea, but it's destroyed itself. It's a busted flush, as every time (well, most times) anyone gets in any danger, this question will loom. A bit like when mobile phones were invented, and 95% of precarious positions in horror films were jeopardised.
