For me, I think they didn't go hard enough with it. If they're going to leave it up in the air, I want to be obsessed with the ending in the same way I used to be season finales of my favourite series. I want it to shock or stun me. At the very least, I want it to resonate so that I find myself wondering what happens next, but that hasn't happened yet and I suspect it's not going to as the film already begins to fade in my memory.Because of the genre and the fact that it's a Marvel character, it's difficult not to compare it with the ending of Infinity War, which sets the bar insurmountably high. As an event, no superhero film is going to come anywhere close to that anytime soon.I know what you mean. On paper, it's not the kind of Spider-Man film I'd want to watch. Despite the superheroics, powers and colourful villains, the Spidey I love is the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, and I usually find alternative realities and massive unexpected team-ups a bit of a turn-off.I think it worked for me because there was still enough of the small stuff in there to make it feel authentic. Miles being grounded or being late for his father's speech is pure Spider-Man. And all the cameos and other Spider-Men and Women were lovingly done, with every one an Easter egg to fans. I'll definitely be back for the last one in due course to see how it wraps up.</blockquote>
