Spider-man joins the MCU

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2018)

Once Marvel acquired the rights from Sony for Spider-man, it was only a matter of time before Peter Park would join in the ranks of the MCU.
Spider-man's origin story has been portrayed in so many different way by so many different actors and directors, thankfully Spider-man's earlier entry in "Captain American: Civil War" made the writers skip the steps of Parker's radioactive spider biting journey and move on to the present times.
"Spider-Man: Homecoming" follows the events after "Civil War" portraying Peter Parker as an ordinary high school student training to one day become part of the Avengers while trying to survive the homecoming ball. The main villain is Adrian Toomes, known as The Vulture, who is entirely different than his portrayal in the animated series, as a bio-mechanical engineer and arms trafficker. Michael Keaton plays his third winged character in his career and does a terrific job as the Vulture! Robert Downey Jr. also makes an appearence as Peter's mentor, Tony Stark as well as Jon Favreau's Happy Hogan to the extension of a comic relief.
Modern day society and social issues are heavily infused in the development of the characters, but ultimately it was about Peter Parker and his growth into a superhero by learning and feeling how it is to be respected and how it is to be despised.
"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is a fun movie that follows the great Marvel superhero formula and is a great addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
