Different...good...but too long

Rating: 7/10 (28 September 2017)

The idea behind Spider-man homecoming is good. The film concentrates more on the life of a 15 year old Peter Parker trying to be both a teenager and Spiderman (or is it Spider-boy?).
The main villain is Vulture - Michael Keaton. He makes a good villain, selling illegal arms stolen from the aliens that came to battle in the Avengers films.
However, it is way too long. The Vulture is good, but really isn't that evil and really shouldn't take nearly 3 hours to defeat. It is naturally all about the development of Spider-man. However, it becomes tiresome, especially as most of the film is CGI overload. Similar in a way to what is happening to Transformers, the production teams feel the need to try lots and lots of different spectacular stunts and effects playing to build a plot. This is better than recent Transformers as the plot does make sense and does build to the end and potential future Spider-man films.
In all it is fun and it is good to see Spider-man having fun rather than being all about the death of his Uncle Ben or any other family member (which isn't in this film at all). Aunt May is, however she is a younger and actually hotter version.
Watch it, but make sure you are sitting comfortably.
