He looks like a fun character and an awesome friend for Spider-Man. Let's face it, besides love interests, has Peter Parker ever had a good relationship with his "best friend" on screen?

As for the gadgets, meh. The Spider-Signal being back is nice and the webshooters are a must, but some of the other gadgets I don't like. The drone I'm surprisingly OK with.

As much as I like the responsibility thing, we've had enough Uncle Ben on screen. Besides. I don't think he's trying to impress Iron Man. I see it as more of a way of saying "Hey I'm capable guys, I can be a hero too, even as the little guy. Give me a chance!" Need I not mention he already believes in the responsibility stuff, as apparent in Civil War.

Michael Keaton as the Norman Osborn is my dream. But sometimes, you have to be steady, and let go of your dreams. I've never seen Michael Keaton do a manical laugh like the Green Goblin does, so I'm not sure if it would be fitting. He can definitely play a crazy guy though. Him as Vulture also works well because he definitely plays characters with wings well. Plus it's a meme at this point.

@PrimalFan which reviews have you read? Every review I've read praises the actors for their stunning preformances, praises the character chemistry, and enjoys the film because the characters are so engaging. Never once have I seen a review say the film is "stale." The plot will probably be generic, but Spider-Man's storytelling always relies on the characters most, and if the characters are REALLY good like the reviews say, it'll be a fine film.
