Charmingly self-effacing

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2018)

Like a breath of fresh air, Spider-Man: Homecoming recharges the constantly rebooted franchise with some much-needed levity. Spider-man is perhaps the most millennial of all superheroes in the Marvel canon, and direct Jon Watts injects enough clever humour and self-aware juvenescence into the proceedings to make it a delightful romp. It also helps that Tom Holland nails the role with charm and finesse!
