A movie about a 3rd or 4th tier Spidey villain isn't going to smash all the records?

Venom is also a major Spidey villain. The whole Sonyverse is pretty much shit turtles all the way down. Spider-Man has always had a massive roster of enemies, though. They have done all the A listers, and done them well, but after 20 years this wasn't the time to start spinning up new franchises when they can't use Spider-Man himself anymore. The villains and C tier Spiders can't carry anything on their own long term.

That shouldn't surprise anyone.
"Tame the savage beast" ... "I can fix him" ... etc. It's every **real** woman's wet dream.
Those 8 minutes were terrible, tbh. They don't even really show how he escapes the prison or does anything interesting to trick/beat the guards. He's just running around while storm-trooper-aim-guards shoot the ground next to him, than some cuts and he's magically outside running across the open field. Into that pointless cloud with the plane as well? Seems like there was some idea where he loses pursuers in a scary cloud they wont go into or something. But at that point, it seems he isn't even chased anymore? Nor was there ever a set-up for it?
For a fairly vanilla idea of "escape russian prison in siberia" they masterfully sidestepped any pretense of tension or storytelling.

yeah. almost ok/good. but, lots of CGI bullshit. that looked terrible.
unclear if he outright has super powers, or is just movie bullshit. Like, sure, he's doing things no human could actually do.. but again, people do silly shit like that in over the top action movies all the time.
it wasn't shot in such a way to make it clear, yes, this is not humanly possible. like, the spiderman scene of him dodging flash's punch. the benchpress was probably supposed to be that scene?
same with missing bullets, as opposed to superhuman dodging of bullets. it was not shot in such a way to make it clear, he's dodging them, not the troopers are retards missing.

I didn't understand why he even climbed that tower, just to drop down and run away the second someone shot at him. That said, it was entertaining enough to keep my attention.

That isn't 100% what he was after. Getting captured in the first place was part of his "hunt". But that wasn't learned until after he escapes the prison and the guards find a dead body belonging to the inmate he pretended to be in order to board the bus.
Sure. But getting "planning to be captured" includes the "I know I can get out". Also set-up by the "3 days at most"-line. But there just isn't anything really to close that part of the set-up. He's just randomly running and jumping around, either being bullet-proof or relying on terrible aim and plot armour (not quite clear) and all the masterful planning amounts to "here's a cloud to conveniently hide my plane" at a point in time it seeming doesn't matter anymore anyhow.
