Spider-Man: Homecoming

Please take my review with a grain of salt. I don't really write reviews, but I really felt compelled to say something about this movie and it's decaying genre.

I'm conflicted, because I know my opinion is getting more and more jaded with every new superhero flick- but I am quickly reaching the end of my rope here. All these movies feel so predictable and cliché anymore, and as much as I truly want to enjoy them it is becoming more and more difficult.

The main actors in this movie were pretty good, but what can you do with yet another weak story that has already been rehashed in other films. The writing felt subpar, and in the end it came off as being full of gimmicks and convenient sub plot.

It just doesn't feel real anymore, it doesn't feel believable. It feels like a fantasy world created for superfans who never take a step back and critique.

These superhero movies are becoming more and more uninspired, and while I try to give them all a chance I am just getting tired of it all. It feels like the quality is being diluted, all that matters anymore is the quantity. All that matters is the money.

I still hold out hope- just look at the 'zombie' genre. Just because there is dilution within the genre doesn't mean a sporadic gem can't be made. However, if you are of a similar mindset as me, you might want to keep looking elsewhere.

Thanks for reading!

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.

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.

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.
