Spider-Man: Homecoming

Tom Holland is the best Spider-Man, Yet!

Picking up where Captain America: Civil War left off, Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man comes back home after the greatest battle of his life and eagerly awaits Tony Stark to give him the keys to the Avengers compound while a new villain (Played by an actor who once played the greatest hero of all time), is causing trouble in Queens. Can Spider-Man save his hood from the Vulture thus proving he has what it takes to join Earth’s mightiest heroes?

From a comic book stand point, it’s strange that Spider-Man, who is quite frankly the biggest name over at Marvel comics is conceptualized in Homecoming as a teenage amateur in the game of heroes, totally idealizing Iron Man who is the big name in the Marvel Cinematic universe, but that’s what makes homecoming such a great movie.
The same way Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight was a realistic approach to Batman, Homecoming gives us the most realistic idea of what a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man should be, and it was not a dark image, just a real one. He made mistakes while proving his worth and it was not all about epic battles and high dramatics. A lot of the action felt so down to Earth while still being very impressive.

You don’t have to be a fan of the Marvel Cinematic universe to love this movie, but it does make it cooler as they put a lot of subtle references in this in order to integrate Spider-Man into the fold.
At the same time, the focus on Spider-man is all the movie needs. Tom Holland was the perfect choice for this teenage superhero. I just loved his Web-Swinger the most. He was awesome.
Also love that even though this is a revamp of The Spider-Man franchise, which comes like three years after the Amazing Spider-Man, that they did not revamp the villains. Like Batman, Spider-Man is well known for his large collection of colorful villains, but unlike Batman, who feels the need to revamp the Joker each time he starts a new set of films, Spider-Man keeps going forward, never using his greatest foe (Green Goblin if you don’t know) as a formulated crutch. We may have revamped Spider-Man far too many times already, but at least we are seeing all his best enemies on the big screen.
Speaking of enemies, here comes the vulture, played by My Batman, Michael Keaton, wow! He’s Batman, then he plays Birdman in 2014 and now he’s playing the villain Vulture. I would think this would be the type of moves that would kill an actor’s career, but you’ll think differently once you see him portray a man who just went overboard providing for his family, especially in those scenes when he’s doing those “I want to justify my villainy to the hero”scenes (Really loved what they did with his costume too)
And even though, I’m indifferent about the other villain in the movie, the Shocker being treated so mediocre, it was cool to have two villains in the movie and the way they did it made sense.
Oh, and I should mention Spider-Man also has a new girlfriend for this revamp in Liz Allan. Always keeps it fresh.
Not the best special effects that I’ve seen in one of these movies, but other than that, I loved it. Not the best Spider-Man movie made (still Spider-Man 2), but it’s definitely third on my list (after Spider-Man(2002)
