Spidey is back

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2017)

The spider is back, much younger and much more fun, as it should have been from the beginning.
Although I think SpiderMan 2 remains the best in terms of balance between story and action, this movie (just like Garfield's last two) is good.
It has a suburban history, a villain (Keaton) who has the empathy to not be forgotten so soon and, fortunately, opens great prospects.
Plus, Tom Holland, proving to everyone that he is a young man with a senior talent, exhibits himself at an astounding level, either as an impatient teenager of this new generation or as a frail kid who literally sees everything collapsing around him. That scene in which he finally discovers that he is alone in the world, that there is nobody to help him and that he has to leave alone gave me shivers.
Downey Jr's charisma as Tony Stark no longer surprises anyone, but continues to show itself every time he appears on screen, especially as a paternal figure for this new spidey.
As for the rest of the casting, they do not have much to do with what they are given. They almost always serve as comic relief and little else. I was expecting more of the hot Aunt May, but what's there to do for Tomei when they do not give her much time in the movie? Anyway, let's wait for the sequel ...
