Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker, with the help of his mentor Tony Stark, tries to balance his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens, New York City, with fighting crime as his superhero alter ego Spider-Man as a new threat, the Vulture, emerges.

The truth is that there shouldn't be disappointment. I should, by no means, feel disappointed. But, leaving the theater I was confronted with this completely overwhelming feeling of utter tiredness and sadness. After seeing the movie I was messaging one of my friends who asked why it's so poor and why I disliked it so much and my exact words were, "t's more MCU garbage but this time it's Spider-Man and it feels fucking personal". That big, fat 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, the incredibly positive consensus on social media, it just proves that Marvel has won, they've won over everyone, critics and audiences alike, with their openly corporatized, overly-produced piece of modern-era junk. It proves that, for the time being,…
A John Hughes-esque coming-of-age movie, disguised as a friendly neighborhood adventure from the MCU; Spider-Man: Homecoming is more about growing up, and less about saving the world.
With no loyalties to the Peter Parker role, I'm cool with Tom Holland. His Spidey is different, and in a way, refreshing. I like how the origin story is skipped, and instead, we dive head into the day-to-day adventures of a semi-awkward, fifteen-year-old. I'm more interested in the growth of Peter Parker, than the development of Holland's Spider-Man Spidey-Powers. I'm still undecided about the way Spidey looks in his costume. To me, he looks more like a CGI goofnut, than an Avenger. But, how many kids get to have Jennifer Connelly on standby,…
When you cut through all of the spandex and special effects, superhero movies are really just high school movies with bigger muscles, bigger budgets, and bigger constraints. Indeed, the best moments in the giddy, fitfully entertaining “Spider-Man: Homecoming” are the ones that gleefully conflate the likes of Stan Lee and John Hughes, delighting in the extent to which both of their signature genres tend to revolve around emotionally unsure young people who are struggling to juggle their double lives.
“Homecoming” takes Peter Parker all the way back to his sophomore year, (re)re-introducing the endlessly rebootable web-slinger (a wide-eyed and overeager Tom Holland) as a 15-year-old pipsqueak who splits his time between anchoring the the academic decathlon team and auditioning to…
the mcu is like the man in my life who I always tell my girlfriends "oh I'm over his ass!" but then he hits me with a "you up?" text and I respond literally seconds later.

Some mumbo-jumbo:
- Listen, I know having Spider-Man back with Marvel is a big deal and all, but if he's just being pushed into a corner with crayons while Robert Downey Jr. and his loud Avenger friends go off and fight the big battle toys, why not leave them out of the world of the friendly neighborhood arachnid entirely?
- To simplify: This is "technically" a Spider-Man movie, and Spider-Man is in most of it. That's nice at least, and Tom Holland is still a vibrant splash-page of joy in terms of charisma.
- Action fails, comedy and characterization soars. It's upsetting to see how weightless and artificial the movement is in all of the superhero beats. A lot…
Surprised yet satisfied to say this is the most entertaining Marvel film I've seen since I watched the first Guardians movie for first time. With Spider-Man: Homecoming, Mr. Jon Watts (who I'd never heard of before this film) and crew strike a happy medium between high school coming-of-age flick and superhero popcorn fodder. Sure, there are some ridiculous conveniences and oversights in the plot (though nothing too egregious). Also, I agree with some criticism I've seen claiming Keaton is underused and the action is a tad underwhelming (except the ferry sequence and scaling the Washington Monument). But the comedy was strong and I liked a lot of the characters and their arcs. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun, snappy, colorful and charismatic romp that exceeded my expectations entirely. Thank goodness too. Spider-Man is one of the few superheroes I loved as a kid.
it’s an iron man movie but Robert Downey Jr could only film for a couple days so when he was off-set they replaced him with an annoying teenager
It's great! Not perfect, but as the 3rd Spider-Man of 6 movies about the most popular superhero character in the world... it's a marvel how good this ended up being.
The actual review here will be short and it will followed by a long spoiler filled rant about my personal and perhaps unwarranted opinions on what I didn't like.
This film should be commended for a few things. It's very funny, lots of fun, and visually interesting from beginning to end. Unlike previous movies there are no funerals, awkward dancing or badly executed villains that take interrupt your enjoyment. Michael Keaton makes a silly character work wonderfully and Tom Holland is the perfect casting for Spider-Man.
It also skips what…
Just noticed that this was co-written by the directors of Game Night and that just makes so much sense.
Tom Holland and Zendaya are both damn treasures, and Michael Keaton has a point.
All right hears the thing I am not a fan of this Spider Man because his Suit has powers of Teknowledge and I find that to be cheeding. Plus my favorite actor of playing Spiderman
Would have to be Andrew Garfield. OK!!
Typical predictable, dull, pozzed MCU bullshit. The guy playing Peter Parker/Spiderman can't get the mixture of earnestness & smart ass right. It took 6 people to write the screenplay. Never a good thing.
