Very entertaining, much smaller scale than other Marvel Movies

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2017)

Spider-Man Homecoming; yet another Marvel movie in the MCU, and yet another success. This movie is a bit refreshing in that it's a much smaller-scale conflict. The focus is primarily on Peter Parker as a character and less on Spider-Man as a superhero, but there's still plenty of Spider-Man action. They made a Spider-Man origin story without the same origin clichés of "With great power comes great responsibility" and without showing the Peter getting bitten by a Spider scene, which I appreciate. The movie has a serviceable plot, with engaging characters and a villain that's at least better than most of Marvel's other villains. While many people complain that they "ruined Spider-Man" because he's not the same as he is in the comics, I would like to remind people that he's actually MORE accurate to the comics than in other adaptations, since he's a teenager and still has his powers. While he does use a tech suit, the movie does a great job of showing that Spider-Man is more than just the suit. Technically, the movie is great as usual, with very good sound design, visuals, and editing.
As for the negatives, the action isn't really the best, especially after the impeccably choreographed Winter Soldier and Civil War, and the visually stunning Doctor Strange. The music is forgettable, as it is in most Marvel movies. But all in all, not many complaints from me. I saw it and was greatly entertained by it, and hey, that's all you really want when you watch a Spider-Man movie.
