Just saw it, I thought it was mediocre and really lacking, it was more like half a movie with lots of unresolved plot lines compared to the last 3 spiderman movies.

Movie Spoilers
Why would they introduce Jean and then not resolve her plot line... At all? She starts the movie on the run, looks for her sister, realizes she's dead, then goes back to being on the run. It didn't really feel like we accomplished anything.

Also, the twist of her not being the villain is CRAZY to me because she was insanely evil and spent most of the movie messing with spiderman, threatening to kill his girlfriend, possessing multiple people and making them attempt suicide, and causing untold damage... only for the movie to end with "actually she's a really nice person deep down inside?" What??? She was blatantly evil and sadistic, and now she's just cool and misunderstood?

Half of the plot is just spiderman getting the confidence to re-introduce himself to his friends. I totally get why they're doing it and it's nice that they reconnect in a believable way... But it's just such a boring plot idea. The whole emotional core of the movie is just "guy connects with characters he used to be friends with last movie".

The Hand is also just hanging out in New York and it's never explained or resolved. Spiderman's powers freaking out is never resolved but I guess it's just implied he gets over it now that he has friends again. Jean Gray baits you into thinking they're introducing mutants to the MCU but they never do. The director guy was supposedly left alive but we never see if anything happened to him...? Did they just let him go with zero consequences?

So much wasted potential and wasted time. Everything was kinda half assed. The only thing I can really say I liked was the direction, it felt a lot more dynamic and less flat than the other Tom Holland spiderman movies. I loved the swinging scenes. Everything else? Bleh.

I think Jean's plot line was searching for her sister, which she did, and was resolved. And her lashing out was because she (and her sister) were seen as monsters so Jean behaved like a monster. Jean lashed out because she had no one. She believed no one could ever see her or understand her. Peter proved to her otherwise.

Aunt May taught Peter to be the caring man that he is. Peter shared that with Jean, both directly as himself and through memory with Aunt May.

I know she's not "a kid", but that's the idea. She's a kid and she's learning from her mistakes.
