Felt more like a Marvel movie then a SONY product.

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2017)

SPIDERMAN HOMECOMING -Spiderman is back at home , and that's Marvel. Although it's wrong to say BACK because in movies he has never been at Marvel before.
At the start let me rank it among the other Spiderman movies . And it's just my personal ranking. Its third best for me after the best Spiderman 2 (which most of the people think is actually the best one) and Amazing Spiderman 1 (this one people may disagree). So you can say inclusion of Marvel gave mix results bending towards the positive side.
But I do think this movie felt more like a Marvel movie then the earlier Spiderman movies by SONY. Mostly because of the two reasons. 1st being the obvious one , inclusion of Iron Man and his Iron Manish Jokes. And the movie is full of them. Even when Iron Man is not their in the screen. And 2nd - casting of Tom Holland (for which credit goes to Kevin - the head of Disney and Russo Bros - the director of Cap America 2 and 3. And it's easy to say for me that Holland is the best Spiderman and fit perfectly with the tone of MCU. He looks exactly like a 15 year old school boy. And has a nice sense of humour.
This fact that Spidey is back in school gave the makers a chance to make the movie light hearted , full of jokes , lowering the stakes (I mean the world is not under any danger this time).
But then again the movie lacks Seriousness , Tension , Emotions , etc. No shock value. No edge of the seat scenes , no heart warming scenes like what I got in Wonder Woman. What I mean is that I had the usual problem I always have with the Marvel Movies. So that's just about my personal taste.
Also to add , about which I am not much sure but Spidey in this movie has been shown as pretty much incapable. Apart from the Climax fight , every time Iron Man has to come to rescue him . This may make hard core Spiderman fans a little disappointed. Just may be. Didn't bothered me. Because I am not that die hard fan.
The movie is too much crowded with characters. Not everyone get a meaty role having the running time of 133min. The best example is ZENDEYA , being just another student , having no real purpose , cracking dry jokes. May be she will get a little more important role in the sequel.
Being in High School , Peter was very immature . Apart from fighting street thugs he was tackling usual high school problems - bullying , failure to express his love to the senior girl , not having many friends and yes the most usual one BALANCING HIS PERSONAL LIFE WITH Professional , I MEAN SUPERHERO LIFE.
One of the great thing about this movie (which I think should be given credit to but I also think most of the audience will not be able to catch the fact ) is that how close the ambition of both the hero and the villain were in the movie. Both has been demoralized by Tony Stark and Both wants to prove something to Tony and to society. Yet both have a different way to do it.
Michal Keaton as vulture was good. For a change we got a nice villain in a Marvel movie. Again it's owned by SONY so it just half qualify as Marvel movie. Vulture is good , not great. He had a clear motive. He wants to do business. Trying to earn a standard lively-hood. Still I didn't find him enough menacing.
Action scenes were good. Not very unique creatively , but good. The broken ship pulling scene was very familiar to Toby Macquarie's train stopping scene from Spiderman 2 , but didn't reached the height of the tension which Toby's scene had done. No other complains from action. If only the climax scene had been done in the daylight instead of Night , would have been so much better.
The first half was very good. Extremely funny. But when the movie jumped to 2nd half the stakes should have been gone higher. Which never happens. Also whatever serious or sad scenes were there director was not able to make them gripping which is a shock because I loved the direction of John Watts in COP CAR.
There were some minor visual effects which looked more like Video Game scenes , but mostly visuals were great.
3d being always nice in Spiderman movies was good here too.
Robert Dn Junior had just the right amount of role neither overshadowing Spidey(if only we ignore the fact that he rescues him all the time) nor dissatisfying his own fans having a small role.
I love Marisa Tomei. She is extremely beautiful even at the age of 52 years. She is a perfect Aunt May. Would have been great if we had got some more emotional scenes of her with Peter.
Small thing to add. SHOCKER has always been one of my favorite villain from Spiderman Cartoon. And I always wanted him to be shown in movies. And I got it. Yes as a sidekick of vulture , not a very powerful villain but at least get a chance on big screen.
