Saw it just now. Liked it better than Homecoming, but mainly because of awesome Mysterio is. Of course the problem of knowing he's a villain made the entire first half kind of underwhelming (and made the moment where Peter gives him the glasses just really bad. But that would have been a stupid decision in any respect.) But I actually like the Peter/MJ stuff, so it was enjoyable enough waiting for Mysterio to finally reveal his true intentions.

Mysterio is just such a cool villain fully realized. The illusion scene in Berlin is an MCU highlight and nicely captures why he has the capability to be such a threat. I love the stuff that makes the characters and the audience question what's real or not, and I really hope he's not actually dead (it is the MCU, which loves just killing of villains and wasting more potential for them). I wouldn't have minded at all if they showed that his death was just another illusion, even if they eventually never did anything with it, just to hammer home how unreliable everything you see around Mysterio can be. Although I admit having illusions and Skrulls in play all the time might not be the best thing for the canon at large. We don't want to be second-guessing everything in every following movie I suppose.

The absolute best part of course was seeing J.K. Simmons return as JJJ. I was smiling so much when he showed up. Love to see where they're going to take this with the next movie.
