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…

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…
ITS FINE AND COOL AND FUN AND ALL BUT PLS STOP MARVEL THERE IS SO MANY OF YOU ITS ENOUGH
This is such a fun movie. Tom Holland is maybe the best Spider-Man?? As much as I loved them both, Tobey Maguire was too old and corny, and Andrew Garfield was too sexy and brooding. Holland is just right. Michael Keaton is an awesome villain even if the Vulture reminds me of Birdman.
AND THE MARTHA KELLY APPEARANCE 😍
After an absolutely knackering few days I needed a film to watch that would give me the right balance of escapism and optimism, and Spider-Man: Homecoming was the perfect choice.
This is one of the most joyous blockbusters of the 21st Century. Tom Holland is pitch perfect as Peter Parker, Michael Keaton delivers what was (at the time) one of the MCU's most relatable villains and Michael Giacchino's score is rousing in a way that Hans Zimmer utterly fails to comprehend. The colour palette, the relationships between Peter and well... everyone, the lessons learned, the mistakes made, THIS is the Spider-Man from my childhood, and reducing me to a grinning, wide-eyed idiot at 35 is no easy task.
Cannot wait until Far From Home.
