Puts previous Spider-Man's to Shame! Fantastic film!

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2017)

I do not understand what the fuss is about when people are saying they disapprove of the film. I really enjoyed it! It was a great movie, comedy, drama, events. I personally thought that it was slow to get going. They tried to overcome this with lots of slapstick/ cheap comedy to try and improve audience-character relations which, I think the lines and actions where funny but it felt unnatural and thus didn't really work. Another aspect of the film that I felt was unnatural was the casting choices. In our PC world where a film can draw negative attention on the diversity of its cast (which we all know Sony has trouble with) I think what Sony has decided to do here (to avoid this) is to balance the top heavy white cast -the fact that the main lead hero main lead villain are white- they felt the need to flood the other roles with non white cast. It felt obviously placed. I understand Sony's logic behind it: the film didn't suffer any bad diversity press so it did what it needed. I felt they could of done it a bit more naturally.
Putting that aside, Tom Holland is the best spidey yet! He plays confused dork very well! I would say he's not as good looking as the previous guys but I think that's partly to do with him being a lot younger. But his acting was on par, I hope he stays in the role for some time as it would be great to see where it takes it!
SPOILERS: (will try and keep it to a minimum)
For movie details, I like the fact they did the whole 'bit by the spider' in one line rather than watching 15/20 mins of it again for a third time. It was very well played out. I loved the way he got caught (both times) and as always Mr Stark flawless as ever. It defiantly was a lot better than the last lot of Spider-Man films -I felt that the Amazing spider man series focused more on drama elements but this was back to classics. It was about a high school boy and his issues and struggles of trying to do high school a social life and be an avenger in an ever changing MCU. If Thor is for the man, Spidy is for kids. I would recommend it to everyone and will be waiting for the next one.
