An "amazing" fresh view of the Web-Slinger (Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2017)

After already 5 previous adaptations of the Web-Slinger, anyone could think that the magic behind the character is gone. But with their newest film in the MCU, "Marvel Studios proves that theory wrong.
What Director 'Jon Watts' has done here it's just "amazing". It's really obvious that his vision of Spiderman was heavily inspired by some John Hughes movies, like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club". (There is even a whole scene of Spider-Man running through backyards and fences which is an exact replica from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"). In that way the Director focused more on Peter Parker and his life as a High School kid and used 'the' Spider-Man as a tool for the majority of the film. And the result of that decision was that 'we' the viewers could care for him & relate to his character a lot more than all the previous adaptations.
The Story as a whole is really grounded. There is no world-destruction, no big wormhole in the sky. The Story focuses on events that surround Peter and so we go from event to event to event with small "arcs" in between, this style of film making makes the movie feel a lot more fast passing than it actually is. And in fact this is the slowest Spider-Man film, it's just the way the set pieces are handled that make it look fast so you'll never get bored (Brilliant).
And of course no one can forget the protagonist himself "Tom Holland". There's not much to be said, the guy it's just perfect. He nailed the character like no other before him. It's like he was meant to become Peter Parker. Jacob Batalon as Ned, Peter's best friend was just the best. (Funniest character in the film). And Zendaya playing the loner kid 'Michelle',was definitely the most mysterious. Her character has many quick build-ups throughout the movie. Most likely building up for the sequel.
Marisa Tomei nailing the role of Aunt May. For once May actually acted as his Aunt not his 100 year old grandma. Robert Downey Jr. for the first time is not only shown as Tony Stark/Iron Man but also as a role model to Peter. Which suited his character, especially after the events of Civil War. Jon Favreau returning as Happy Hogan was a "happy" addition. Laura Harrier as Liz , Tony Revolori as Flash , Angourie Rice as Betty , Bokeem Woodbine as The Shocker and Jennifer Connelly as Karen the A.I. voice of Peter's Suit. All of them were great additions to the film.
But leaving the Theatre my favorite character and portrayal was Michael Keaton's The Vulture (Adrian Toomes). The is no denial that he is one of the best villains in the MCU. Every Time his character speaks or even appears on the screen, I'm sold. He's scary, intense and Intimidating. But behind the Scary character of the Vulture is the personality of Adrian Toomes. A person like peter, facing everyday problems. You understand why he's doing what he's doing, his motivations. Like most people he's a family man and he will go through anyone and anything to provide his family with everything they need. Definitely my favorite character in the whole film.
MCU films are often criticized for their lack of memorable soundtracks. And for the most parts its true. With the exception of The Avenger, Ant-Man and the Winter Soldier. Well, Spider-Man: Homecoming is on of these exceptions. Homecoming does not only have my new favorite theme in the whole MCU (Vulture's theme) but the best sound production in all the marvel films starting from Iron Man. Every sound 'hits' exactly the right tone, the right volume, the right moment. Best Cinema sound-experience I've had.
The fight/action scenes on the other hand, I wouldn't call them a flaw. But they're certainly my least favorite from the movie. Here is where Spider-Man 2 kicks in because it had some of the best action scenes in any superhero film till today. Homecoming really showed that fight/action scenes are not Jon's (director) specialty. Which is not that big of a problem in this because there aren't many action fight/action scenes in the film due to it being grounded and focusing of Peter's Life more. But if Jon Watts returns to direct the sequel he has to improve his skills on directing action.
Overall one of the best films in the MCU. Great Story, great acting, great sound design. With very few improvement to be done in the sequel.
9.8/10
