It's a movie for teenagers...

Rating: Null/10 (30 September 2017)

If you're 12 or 13 years old then you're going to love this movie, but it doesn't feel like a Spiderman movie.
I understand that the producers didn't want to tell the audience the origin story which has been told ad nauseam! However, it's still an important part of Spiderman's personality. WE NEED AN ORIGIN STORY and it doesn't need to be Uncle Ben getting shot or his famous line: "with great power comes great responsibility". I, for one, would have liked to have known how Peter Parker came onto Tony Stark's radar. Why would a billionaire with enough super suits to conquer a country need a fourteen-year-old boy or risk getting him killed in combat against seasoned soldiers? Right there is your origin story. All the other Marvel superheroes had their origin story by Spiderman/boy didn't.
Don't get me wrong. I loved watching this film and it gave me great laughs during the comedic scenes but....... I was left with no idea as to what motivates him to want to fight crime. In this version, we just get a kid who's barely out of puberty and whose sole purpose is to please Tony Stark. The high-tech suit which was given to him was cool but it diverts attention from Spiderman's acrobatic abilities. There is too much dependence on technology and not enough on his resourcefulness. In other words, Tony Stark appears too much in this movie.
