Captures the lighthearted spirit of the titular hero while also keeping it closely in line with the other recent Marvel films

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2017)

Spider-Man: Homecoming is the second reboot of the Spider-Man franchise and the fourth film of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Starring Tom Holland in the eponymous role, this film captures the lighthearted spirit of the titular hero while also keeping it closely in line with the other recent Marvel films.
Eight months after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland) is still attending high school while living with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). Using the specially designed suit given to him by Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Peter continues to fight crime in his local neighbourhood in Queens, New York while juggling his school life. One day, Peter uncovers an illegal weapons plot led by Adrian Toomes/Vulture (Michael Keaton), and despite being warned not to get too involved in major affairs, decides to step in and stop Toomes before it's too late.
Filled with all the fun and excitement one can expect from a Spider-Man film, and indeed, a Marvel film in general, Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fast-paced ride from start to finish. I especially enjoyed how despite being primarily a collaboration with Sony, the film still felt very much like the Disney-owned Marvel properties. Tom Holland is young and witty in the lead role, as was previously seen in Civil War, however this time he isn't merely reduced to a scene-stealing supporting role. Michael Keaton, as to be expected, gives a convincing performance in the villainous role of Vulture, this being the third winged character he's played in his career (after Batman and Birdman of course), and thankfully isn't forgettable. As is the case with most Marvel films, be sure to stay back for a post-credits scene, because this one in particular I found hilarious.
I rate it 8/10
