Everything Spider-Man should be

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2018)

'Spider-Man: Homecoming' is everything a Spider-Man film should be. In the past, there have been numerous attempts at a Spider-Man film franchise, and while those may have been good, they are ultimately out shined by the new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By including Spider-Man in the universe of other superheroes, this results in the film having more depth and complexity. Like every Superhero film, the plot was rather predictable and held minimal surprises, but it was still thoroughly entertaining, fresh and original. The casting for this movie was fantastic, with Tom Holland being the best Spider-Man in cinematic history. Sorry, not sorry Tobey Maguire. Not only did he look the age that Peter Parker should be, but he really brought the character to life and was the main reason I enjoyed the movie. It was also great to see a change in Peter Parker's love interest and I was impressed that the filmmakers moved away from the same old Mary-Jane and Gwen Stacey plot line. This helped make the film feel fresh and original. The fight scenes in this movie were aided by brilliant visual effects and resulted in being quite impressive. Overall, this movie was a successful addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a fresh (yet predictable) plot and a fantastic lead actor.
