Jake G. is a very good performer, but there was nothing memorable in this performance. I ADORE HC. I'm not anti-MCU Spidey and I'm not up in arms over the changes to stuff like MJ's race or character. I don't particularly care about the way MCU Peter idolizes Tony Stark and I know Uncle Ben is still in his origin in the MCU so him not being mentioned yet is no skin off my nose. I enjoyed Holland's Spidey in CW, HC and in IW/EG and have defended him with my own friends one of whom simply thinks MCU Spidey is "trash". I don't have an agenda in talking down this film or Mysterio as the villain... But I found it all rather rote and dull despite all the pyrotechnics and CGI. And Beck as the villain did nothing to liven the proceedings. I don't get anyone's POV that he was this masterful and engaging villain. As I've stated here before, I will give that there are two sequences which are indeed the way they are realized probably as good as a Mysterio vs. Spidey confrontation could be done today. But outside of those two scenes I felt the character was flat and uninteresting from the start and felt no different when the film ended. And that's par for the course in regards to the entire film.
