Decent start for a new Peter Parker

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2017)

I entered the cinema having no expectations. Only thing that I was curious about was Michael Keaton, he is one of my favourite actor.
To me, Tom Holland is the best Peter Parker and Spider-Man presented to us in any live action -movie. It was truly amazing to watch his portrayal of a truly young teenage Peter Parker just wanting to join in to be something special, but realizing not to be ready for it yet. He had to mature up rather fast during the film.
I hear people complaining how this is more of a Tony Stark than Peter Parker. But while it also annoyed me a bit that even the suit was Tony's work, it kind of fits. Tony trying to be a father figure not knowing fully what he is doing, but still trying his best. However it is not clear as to why he is really "fonded" of Peter so much...why him. Maybe because he is as smart and reminds of himself? I just wish the default suit for Spider-Man was a bit more campy (no not talking about his self-made hoodie). Less technologically advanced. I liked the gliding-feature, and all the subtitle things. But for example the parachute was a bit much (where did it fit anyway?).
But I guess we live in 2017 and we can not really go back to the "good old days" where we do not have all the gadget stuff. Although Captain America is doing just fine with just the shield (his suit does nothing as special as Spider-Man suit?) Michael Keaton...he was shining in this. It is amazing how he keeps amazing movie after movie. The chemistry between Tom and Michael was something special. They both deserve a score for their performance.
My favourite scene with Michael was in the car when he realizes that Peter is...Spider-Man. His expressions truly gave shivers.
Although the scenes before and following showing Tom as a Peter that is truly in uncomfortable situation was also great performance work.
But my favourite scene with Tom was when he was stuck under the rubble. The panic he showed when being in a truly scary situation and forcing him to mature up maybe too early. By which I mean it is always sad to see someone having to mature up too young.
I can truly recommend this movie to any Spider-Man fan.
