A great and fun filled Spider man film

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2017)

Marvel has done it again and produced a really great Superhero film with a fresh and younger spin. The film was funny, entertaining and well made. One of the things that stood out for me was how well this film worked with a very young teenage protagonist and other young cast members. Usually films with kids as the stars are meant for a younger audience where kids unrealistically try to pull off stupid and unbelievable stunts. However this film didn't shy away from the fact that Peter Parker was just a kid and the beauty of this was it allowed him to mature and grow into Spiderman. Unlike most Superhero films we have seen for the last few decades this shows a very young aspiring superhero grow into one and learn the ropes. It also gives the audience a chance to connect and like this Peter Parker.
The plot was good and Tom Holland made an excellent Peter Parker. The humor and funny situations worked really well and showing Spider man trying to pull off something when he didn't know how was entertaining to watch. A great twist was introduced towards the end of the film which was quite well done. Iron Man's involvement also worked well with Tony Stark taking on a mentoring role and exercising tough love. The only criticism was the final fight scene involving the plane as it was hard to make sense of what was actually going on. Overall a great film and a big improvement on the disastrous recent two Spiderman films with Andrew Garfield. Toby Mcguire's time as Spiderman in the early 2000s gave us some very good films that set a high bar. It is nice to know that standard has now been met with a great new and fresh Spiderman.
8/10
