4/10
Cringe overload. Too long. Boring talking scenes.

Warning: Spoilers
Long, boring talking scenes about nothing. This movie needed a better editor and writer.

Some good action scenes, ruined by tedious back and forth conversation filler.

Numerous awkward plot holes. Implausible, stupid decisions by key characters. Dr Strange for some reason gets outsmarted by Spiderboy's "geometry", as a way to keep Dr Strange out of the picture until the end.

Spiderman is an annoying brat the whole time. Whinging and yapping about this or that.

The scenes with all three Peter Parkers were yawn-inducing. There was one funny line, about not having spidey sense for bread.

The scene at end with Parker stumbling over his words, gazing for 3 hours at MJ in the store, asking for a coffee. So unrealistic. If she had no memory, she wouldn't be standing there for ages gazing into a customer's eyes. Awful, clunky editing.

Did the spell magically erase everything written down too? I thought it was a "memory wiping" spell, but apparently it changed everything ever recorded on video or written about Peter Parker as Spiderman.

Good film-making is about the courage to cut things out, leaving a tightly paced efficient story. This movie fails in that task, and is only somewhat saved by a few good action scenes, the effects, and Dr Strange.

The writers lose the plot with implausible nonsense, generic cheesy emotion and a mess of ideas. It causes a separation of viewer and content, where you don't care anymore because anything can happen. So you just watch the forgettable light show.
