Keaton was good though, i hope to see him again soon.

I'm with you, VG.

Also, re: Keaton, he's in a movie coming out soon called American Assassin that looks like it has potential

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

the action was fine, though hardly a high water mark for the MCU. The characters were delightful, their chemistry was excellent, watching peter grow was enjoyable, and the humor was on point. I can see not loving the movie, but I dont know what their is to dislike

Spoiler: show

the avengers and shield just left all this alien tech and their own experimental tech lying around? And Vulture and his gang were operating with these weapons for how long before anyone took any notice? I know it's kinda the premise of it but it was just too much of a reach for me in a film where Peter is being tracked so closely an autopilot iron man comes to save him. And then Tony arrives to help with the ferry. It just clashed hard for me. It's a comic book movie fair enough but even in that frame it made no sense for me.

remember in the time the cleanup is going on shield was also taken out in CAtWS (not sure the exact time line of that after avengers AoA) so it is feasible

i see everyone bitching about a formula but what are they supposed to do? so far they have started telling an overall reaching story that is 15 films long so far and still has 6 more films to go. in order to tell the whole grand story (fight with thanos/infinty war) they also have to introduce and expand upon current characters

It is plausible that Tony and happy just don't listen to the kid and that is part of their dynamic. But to have their organisation not look at it for years just rings hollow against what they've established in the other films I think.

there will be an extra on the DVD where they do an internal audit of the logistics policy and procedure

But it was also one of the problems with Iron Man 3.
Iron Man 2, Stark gets drunk, SHIELD shows up the next day and tells him not cool.
Iron Man 3, Starks house gets blown up and falls into the ocean, with all his tech for anyone to grab / claim, and its the local LAPD? no mentions of SHIELD, not even a van with the SHIELD logo on it? (and that was before Cap 2 so SHIELD was still SHIELD)

At least they did tie Starks "clean up crew" into why Vulture lost his job, which gave him motive, But I think what DimeJinky is saying, is as soon as Vulture and his gang start using those weapons, why was Spider-man the only one who seemed to notice? Even after Spider-man told Tony, Tony said something like, let us handle it... Yet, he didn't, at all?
