Scaled-down, truly witty and surprisingly fresh

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2017)

It may seem greedy and a bit stupid doing another Spider-Man reboot so short after the last one, but Homecoming brings something fresh.
Talented Tom Holland is an amazing asset to the movie. His charisma and comic timing balances this new Spider-Man flick in way that both makes you care more about what happens in the movie and, more importantly, brings a well-needed break from the somewhat mechanic action of the Avengers and Captain America movies.
It's a bold move letting young and rather inexperienced feature film director Jon Watts ("Clown", "Cop Car") direct a blockbuster of these proportions. Usually, this is done in order to make it easier for the producers and the studio to control the production, but here, clearly, we're given the vision of a director and not the formulaic mess the studios sometimes forces through.
Last but not least, kudos to composer maestro Michael Giacchino, who's created what is probably the strongest Marvel score this far.
