Good balance between humour and tension

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2017)

This is another unique superhero movie and we should really stop complaining about them. Just look how many wonderful movies we've seen from Marvel and DC franchise in the past few years: Logan, Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Civil War etc. and now an amazing executed re-boot of Spider-Man.
The most interesting point everybody is watching for is how this totally new interpretation of Spidey played by Tom Holland is executed. First of all, I wouldn't pick the best Spider-Man. The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man was the most bad-ass one and he is struggling way more in his life. But this guy right here is more like the Comic Spider-Man. He actually is young and really is portrayed as a high school student. He isn't struggling that much in his life and he is a very more humorous guy. In Civil War I was firstly a bit irritated by him, but in this movie I was really amazed by his character and by the well-done performance by Tom Holland. But I think the best part about this Spidey is that he is totally not OP. He's just a talent and this aspect gives the suspense in the movie. He could fail more easily than other super- heroes.
What amazed me most were the character developments. The Avengers movies are great, nonetheless there is a big lack of character development in those movies. But in this one, you felt like every character has a big potential to deliver. Not only we did get a great villain with Vulture. But even the supporting characters such as the other students were very interesting designed.
And all of these characters were performed very good. As you have noticed the best performance was by Michael Keaton. I think the actual attractive part of his character is not his character, but he himself. Every expression he delivered felt perfect. But to be honest, everyone did well. Also noteworthy is the Disney Star Zendaya as Michelle, Jacob Batalon as Ned and we all know that Childish Gambino is an underrated actor. Although his character was only a small part, he was great.
Don't expect the atmosphere of the first Spider-Man movie here, because this is a totally different situation - totally different story. And there are always some millimeter-detail-watching haters out there, so don't let them confuse you. I just read a complain, where the complainer thought Flash is playing the superhero flash... If you don't get why his name is flash, you also shouldn't complain about less depth...
