Spider-Man: Homecoming is the sixth solo movie for the wall-crawler and Tom Holland is the third actor to suit up as the character. The movie has been a critical and commercial hit but someone who has no interest in the reboot is Kirsten Dunst. In fact, it was just a month or so ago that she said: "We made the best ones, so who cares? They’re just milking that cow for money. It’s so obvious." Ouch!

Well, Tom Holland has now shared his thoughts on Dunst's comments and it's clear he's not particularly happy about the way the original Mary Jane Watson dismissed the movie without even seeing it. 

"You know, she’s entitled to her own opinion and I’m not one to judge at all," he explains. "I definitely am not doing this movie for the money. I mean, it’s a job that I think anyone would do regardless of what you were getting paid, you know? All I know is I had the greatest time on this movie and I absolutely loved it and if she doesn’t want to go and see it, I don’t really care. I don’t dislike her in any way for what she said and she’s entitled to her own opinion, so it’s all cool."

That's a very diplomatic response and much kinder than Holland had to be. Dunst never seemed particularly enthusiastic about her role in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies and her constant role as a damsel in distress was one of the trilogy's biggest issues. She is, of course, entitled to her opinion but do you think she went a tad too far here? And what do you guys make of Holland's response?

Am I bad for first thinking that was what Holland said about Kirsten?

Dunst said this several months ago, so why is he reacting to it now?
And she is right too (although a bit sour), if youre actually thinking they make any of these movies for the fans you need to grow up, they just care about money.

it ranks like this:
Money
Professional criticism
Fan criticism

@VictorMancha - ALL movies are made to make money. Not just "these" ones.

@VictorMancha - He's reacting to it now because it was brought up in an interview with him only now. It's not like he went out of his way to react to what Dunst said. Also, by your logic, even the Raimi movies were made for the money alone, so that makes Kirsten Dunst hypocritical as [frick].

@Hawknaba - Nope. Even these movies are done for money. Now, that may not be the primary reason the director or writer did them But every movie you have seen, that's not on YouTube or some social media post, was done because the distributor believed they could make a profit from it. Now there are movies like The Emoji Movie, or whatever, that were made almost exclusively for that reason. "_______ looks to be in right now. I bet if we make a movie about that, we will rake in the dough." But every movie that you have paid to see, was done so it could make somebody money.

@SisterSunday52 - That's my point, Art house films are movies i can very often watch for free at a film festival and movies like those made for BBC tv (BBC don't run ads in UK), they make their money through tv licensing fees.
