Fun energetic feel good movie, that gives us the Spider-Man we have been craving!

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2017)

Spider-Man Homecoming tells the coming of age tale Peter Parker as he struggles to balance school, family, and being a superhero and that's what it should be. This film brings Spider-Man back to his charm as what made Spidey so relatable was that he was not a larger than life superhero but one of us. Tom Holland does a phenomenal job portraying Peter Parker/ Spider-Man with his youthful charm, and infectious charisma, as does everybody else. One stand out in particular being Michael Keaton as the Vulture. Having significantly more depth than your standard MCU villain Michael Keaton delivers a joyfully over the top performance with a surprising amount of depth. However although this film does have a lot to love about there are still many flaws that may make it a disappointment for some viewers, one big one being that the film has no weight to it. Everything from the emotion to the action feels without any stakes and frankly just underwhelming. Where as every Spider-Man movie from this point had pretty exceptional action scenes (including The Amazing Spider-Man 2) this one included several jump cuts and no impact. There are also a few minor issues with the film, without getting into spoiler territory there was one scene in particular that was very clearly an advertisement for an Audi. Overall although I would still say Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 1 and 2 are still better this is undeniably a very fun enjoyable summer flick. As far as Marvel movies go I'd say this one's pretty great. And I'm giving this one a 7 or 8/10.
