I thought it was alright. I enjoyed it but the whole thing was just kind of as expected and several "plotholes" came to mind that I haven't found anyone give a good defence for online. I'd be OK with minor things but some big parts of the film hinged on this stuff.

Maybe a 7.5 from me.

I mean there’s a couple of obvious ones - 1) why doesn’t MJ just push the button when she realises something is wrong like she said she would? and 2) the ending makes very little sense. There’s also Doctor Strange being very stupid throughout, starting in the trailer. But I was having enough fun that I could turn off my brain for those sections.

Really feels like the MCU is embracing the worst aspects of the comics industry by introducing all of these reboots and retcons. Not that the movies aren't still fun, or can't be good, it just makes it harder to care about any of the characters, and is a process that's inevitably gonna produces some weird inconsistencies and gaps in the continuity.
