Reaction: Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six has finally become the first film in the studio's Marvel Universe to make it past $1 billion at the box office.

“Spiderman vs The Sinister Six, ups the anti from the first film. The action set pieces are better and, due to not needing an origin, we get to spend more time with Spiderman himself. Zoey Deutch as MJ is a welcome inclusion to the Spidey family, I hope to see more of her in the future. McConaughey’s Osborn steals the show for me and seems like his future is warming up nicely. Overall, it is up there for one of the better Spider-Man films.” – J. Darrell Ellington, Behind the Camera

"It's hard to find stuff to complain about with Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six. Writers Cobb and Taylor, as well as director Chazelle, clearly know what people want to see from the characters. It's not as good as their first Spider-Man (I guess that would be my only real complaint), but it is still miles ahead of most superhero films out there."- Gregory Fletcher, Los Angeles Times-Journal

"The film's version of the Sinister Six felt a bit half-assed - although I suspect that's kind of the point. The action was still strong, but it always felt like Hedges' Spider-Man would always easily prevail. McConaughey has more nice work as Norman Osborn as he slowly becomes unraveled by Spider-Man's presence in his life, while Hedges continues strong work as the title character. Far from a perfect film, but it does its job - it has some big action set-pieces (the Coney Island opening was my favorite) and further develops its primary characters." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press
