Fresh take on an overused universe, feels brand new again. Awesome Spider with even more potential to be a real flagship.

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 2017)

Honestly, the trailers put down my expectations a little bit so the quality of the movie was a nice surprise. It's a teen Spidey that really looks the part, it's basically a teen movie and yet it doesn't feel like one. The decision to use almost no character from the other universes was so good, as it made it fresher and easier to feel interested in getting to know these new people. Maybe once or twice I felt that a joke broke the tension unnecessarily, but more than any other character from MCU, the fun vibe matches the hero.
Peter is very inexperienced here and it really shows, it can be a buzzkill to some, but for me it made way more sense than recently gaining powers and reaching peak performance in a couple weeks. This inexperience also culminates in Spidey not actually beating the bad guy, the Vulture (awesome villain by the way) just keeps pushing the limits of his suit until it fails him, which is something that I kind of liked for making sense in Peter the kid not beating the super strong villain with just the power of determination, but I confess I missed a little more punchy action.
I'm a fan of the comics and Spider-man was always my favorite underdog, and it finally feels like that comic adaptation I've been waiting for. Hopefully this universe keeps it up, and we might get to see Peter grow to be that awesome hero we love.
