As school ends, Peter deals with the lost of Tony Stark. A summer science trip to Europe with his schoolmates seems like the perfect get away for Peter. Peter decides to leave his suit at home. However, when he gets to Europe, Nick Fury pulls him into fighting the elementals. Along the way, Peter tries to tell MJ his feelings for her. Can Peter fight the elementals and get the girl?
This film feels so different than the last two Avengers film that its a bit of fresh air. I will say that the demo for this film is more for my teenage daughter than it is for this middle age man. BUT it was still a very enjoyable film.
The story itself was actually pretty complicated, but the movie was able to keep most people on board. However, the whole MJ romance thing was a bit of a bore as the MCU doesn't deal with that as regularly recently.
This movie ends the current Phase 3 of the MCU and the boarder Infinity Saga that spanned Phase 1 and 2 as well. What an amazing run of 23 films to end this saga. Spider-man does a good job of capping this chapter of the MCU.
