Spider-Man: Homecoming

Spider-Man: Homecoming First things first. Sadly no Pop pop of Uncle Ben in this Reboot. I know I'm gonna enjoy this movie, but I never thought it to be this good. This is not a typical superhero flick. This can be viewed as a great superhero movie for MCU or can also be viewed as a silly teen script, either way it is awesome. Avengers were the #1 Movie for me in MCU but this easily is on par with them. RDJ is practically Tom's surrogate dad. He is more than a mentor. I'd really want to see a full length movie of Ironman and Spider- Man. At last, MCU always lagged of a worthy villain (Except Loki and a few ), Toomes is already in the top 5 big bad's of MCU. This is not overstating, he is the best villain since Loki. Vulture took the whole movie to other level. This is the definition of a Fun movie. The definition of how MCU is successful in their Genre. And The Ending is the best we got of all the Spider-Man movies if not of all the MCU. The whole theater burst off for the Last part. Do stay for End Credits. Worth waiting. 9/10, Worth every penny.

A refreshing start to the newest member of the Avengers of is own solo movie, Spider-Man. Tom Holland give to is character a younger and a funnier Spider-Man for the version of our favorite wall crawler in the MCU. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a great Spider-Man movie, love it.

Jon Watts (Director of Clown and Cop Car) perfects the character and charm of Spider-Man that we all love from the comics without doing disservice to either fans of both the Raimi and Amazing Spider-Man franchises with a fun superhero movie oozing with joy with its great cast and characters, big and small, as well as an 'amazing' performance from Tom Holland who brilliantly combines what Maguire and Garfield brought to the character by truly demonstrating the differences and similarities between the awkward nerd Peter Parker and the quippy crime fighting Spider-Man. The film also gives many critics of Marvel's lack of great villains what they want most, a relatable villain that is as, if not more, interesting than the hero itself and not only is great adversary physically but also psychologically and we see this with Michael Keaton's excellent portrayal of the Vulture. What Spider-Man: Homecoming does best, however, is its attention to detail and world building put into the town of Queens, which feels more real and believable than any other fictional world we have seen in the MCU, making Spider-Man: Homecoming one of the best chapters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and another great example for future superhero movies to learn from.

I had a reasonably fun time with Spiderman Homecoming, but I have a few big issues that prevent me from loving it...

Firstly, Peter Parker's vulnerability/invulnerability. There's a scene where Spiderman bangs his head on the roof of a truck, knocking himself unconscious, yet later on in the film, a couple of tons of concrete and steel land on the lad's head with no lasting damage. Not long after, Peter falls to the ground from a crashing jet (presumably travelling at a couple of hundred miles an hour) and gets up without a problem. Concussion one minute, indestructible the next!

Spiderman's strength is inconsistent too: Peter is holding together two halves of the Staten Island ferry in one scene, but later he is struggling to free himself from some rubble.

I also have a problem with The Avengers' very lax approach to shifting their equipment to new premises: Happy (Jon Favreau) loads all of the Avenger's weapons/armour onto an unmanned aircraft - not one person to guard it. Of course, this suited the plot, but it was extremely daft. Surely a couple of superheroes could have taken time out from saving the world to escort the precious cargo.

Last moan: did Spidey really need a high-tech suit equipped with AI and special assault modes? I thought Spiderman relied on Spidey sense.

On a more positive note, I enjoyed Peter's trials and tribulations at high-school, and thought that the twist revelation about the true identity of Vulture was well handled (I didn't see it coming). The special effects are, as always, very impressive, and Director Jon Watts handles the action well enough, but Sam Raimi needn't worry: his first two Spiderman movies remain the best.

Tom Holland really captures the heart of the character. Well paced. Michael Keaton is the 3rd best villain in the MCU behind Thanos and Loki. Great. Best Spiderman movie
