Ink of Blood

I obviously watched this movie when it originally came out, so I knew what was coming when I went to see it at the cinema a second time. But I did really enjoy seeing this movie for a second time.

Since this movie was set directly after Endgame, it was a bit different in tone compared to the first Tom Holland as Spider-Man movie. For one thing, it started with a tribute video to all of those who’d died during the events of Endgame, which was really bittersweet.

I liked the fact that Peter was planning to tell MJ how he felt. It was nice to see MJ get a bit more development in this movie as well. I liked her character in the previous movie, but in this one, she was a really great, interesting character. And I really loved her interactions with Peter. I especially loved when she assumes he’s going to tell her he’s Spider-Man, as it makes a lot of sense that MJ would be able to work it out, since she’s pretty smart.

I thought there were some really nice moments of humour in this movie, especially when Peter was wearing the EDITH glasses and desperately trying to delete a picture…only to accidentally send a nuke towards the bus he was on with his fellow students.

I thought the whole thing with Mysterio started out as really interesting – and honestly, I would have liked it if he had not in fact turned out to be a bad guy. Especially considering the route the next movie took with the multiverse.

I really liked that Ned and Betty had a relationship, and they had some really cute moments in this movie. I didn’t think it made sense that they broke up, as it would have been nice to see them continue to date and Ned having to keep Peter’s secret identity from his girlfriend.

I liked that Flash had a little more depth to him this movie, even though he was still a major jerk. It was pretty cute that he really likes Spider-Man, and even says that Spider-Man is better than Mysterio…although he’s still a real jerk to Peter.

There were a lot of great character moments in this movie, along with a lot of great tension. And the movie did end on something of a cliffhanger, which set it up nicely for the third movie in the series.

All told, I really did enjoy this movie. It was a great sequel to Homecoming and I really enjoyed the relationships between the characters. It was a great movie to watch a second time through and I would probably watch it again in the future.
