for those on the fence, the cameos are worth the price of admission. some of the funniest stuff in the whole movie, and really shows off his comic timing, which he doesn't get to do much as cap.
oh, and as someone who is by and large tired of spiderman, i found the movie quite a lot of fun. enjoyed it more than GotG2.
The ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Blu-ray Will Have Many More Captain America PSAs
by Matt Goldberg July 11, 2017
One of the best things about Spider-Man: Homecoming is that it feels like it lives inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe rather than simply going along with it. It lets us see the indirect ramifications of superheroes roaming our world, and one of those ramifications is that Captain America (Chris Evans) does PSAs for kids, and high schools show those PSAs.
We see a few of these PSAs during the film, but it turns out that director Jon Watts did plenty more, and we’ll have a chance to see them on the Blu-ray/DVD release. Speaking to Steve Weintraub about the film, Watts talked about putting together the Cap PSAs:
“We put it together like it was the actual DVD that they show at the school, so it just is clicking from one to another to another.”
The way they wrote and shot the scenes is that Watts had Evans for a set amount of time, so Watts just wrote up a bunch of PSAs to have Evans read off a teleprompter:
“I just wrote pages of them ’cause I had Chris Evans for however amount of time, so I just feed him … I think we had a teleprompter actually, so he was just … It was like Captain America just showed up and had to do this stuff for the government… He’s just reading it off the scrolling thing and being like, ‘Are you sure you want me to say this?'”
Spoilers ahead.
When it comes to the post-credits scene, Watts explained that they decided late in the process that the final post-credits scene would be a Cap PSA and they just made it up on set:
“When we were shooting, Eric Carroll, one of the Marvel producers and I just started laughing about, ‘What if we did one about patience and make that be a final thing?'”
As for how many of these Captain America PSAs we can expect, Watts says there will be at least 10 of them and there should be a “Play All” feature that lets fans enjoy Cap doing his part for the kids out there. Now the wait for the Spider-Man: Homecoming Blu-ray feels even longer.
I saw this a couple of weeks ago and forgot to comment. Very charming, clever and fun and Holland is a great Peter Parker and SM bringing a youthful verve and vulnerability to the role. Casting all around was great. The Cap cameos are just brilliant.

i knew you'd seen it and was waiting for your thoughts. i knew i'd be rewarded for my patience .
on a more serious note, i'm sad to see that the movie didn't do more business. i think (and hope) that this has more to do with spiderman fatigue. the character has just been overdone.

It's done quite well and increased very well from the last couple (especially the last one). Without the MCU re-boot it would have dropped instead of increased.
It's going to finish around $325m/ $830-50m WW, with a chance to pass GOTG2 ($860m) WW.
SM: HC has passed Wonder Woman worldwide and will pass GOTG2 and Batman v Superman with a chance at $900m and passing Spider-Man 3's $890m (unadjusted for inflation)
