A great deal of holes in the web

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2017)

Generally entertaining but suffered from a lot of stupid to move the story along.
No real urgency and threat, by and large. Just a loose conglomeration of pieces about this kid who wants to be a big-shot super hero tied with his love for the hot girl in school. No ticking clock. Good for them for not putting the world in peril for the 1000th time, though.
When I realized the "Homecoming" in the title was the homecoming dance at Peter's high school, I was ashamed for the film.
The action pieces were very good and nuanced. I think Hollywood finally wised up on using hand-held camera and everything was clear and my eye could follow it.
I really didn't think it was funny. More amusing. Holland's Peter Parker got agitating after awhile as I didn't believe he was 15. He was trying too hard. Keaton was a waste and was just hamming it up.
What was a disaster was the plot. It was a series of vague incidents that relied heavily on Downey and Favreau ignoring Parker's warnings and not communicating with him. Thus, they ended up with egg on their faces and were very much out of character in their stupidity.
If Spiderman was so important to Iron Man/Tony Stark, he wouldn't just have a few guys track him 24/7 via drone? Not like they didn't have the tech for such a task.
The element of Keaton selling high-tech weapons to street criminals made no sense to me. If you want to keep a low profile, those are not the ones you'd sell to. Besides, they wouldn't have the money for it. Spiderman got info from one of the street criminal "customers" who knew far more than he should and was driving an old Ford Taurus with the back window a piece of plastic tarp.
The film said "8 years later" after Keaton is kicked off the salvage job. He would not have developed better contacts to bigger criminals to sell the weapons to?
Why would you do a deal on a ferry in the middle of the water? Would that not be MORE of a risk? Granted, they needed the ferry for the action scene. But it doesn't erase the stupid move by the bad guy.
And they had Keaton on video BEFORE Parker encounters him at the house when he picks up his date. The Tony Stark facial recognition software could not find him on a DMV record?
I was also vague to what extent Keaton was stealing from the government and how easily he did.
And that finale with the plane? Are you kidding me? Keaton sneaks onto it in the "blind zone"? No cameras or motion sensors on that plane. Give me a break. I thought it all might be an elaborate stunt by Tony Stark to test Spiderman because it was so incredibly stupid. But no. It was just stupid.
