Spider-Man: Homecoming

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.

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.

If you are a true fan of spider-man, this movie isn't for you but if you can keep an open mind you might actually enjoy it. It's predictable, like most super heroes movies, it's not a great movie but it's a good one! Even though Tom Holland performs a teenager that talks to much I kind of enjoy his performance. I would say it's a movie to watch when you want something light with a little bit of action.

I can see how Sam Raimi fans found this movie to be awful. Personally, I'm a Raimi fan myself, but did found his Spiderman movies to be weak (specially Spiderman 3, sheesh). So this movie has nothing to compare itself with his work.

Now, if you're a die-hard Spiderman fan, you'll love this adaptation, which covers the true, honest, whimsical and kinda naive nature of Peter Parker.

Photography was excellent and the musical score brings the whole city and characters to life. Keaton's work in particular was a bit underwhelming for me, but that's not his fault... it's the screenplay, which to be honest felt a bit forced and not up to standards for an MCU movie.

Nevertheless, it's a great stand-alone flick you should definitely watch. You'll have a great time, and also enjoy how Marvel wishes to develop young Parker's character from here on out.

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
