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…
I'm glad this movie exists because it's another reminder that Sam Raimi's first two Spider-Man films are in a league of their own.
Michael Keaton is awesome, but sadly VERY underutilized. Marvel, you have MICHAEL KEATON playing a villain in your super hero movie! How does he not get so much more screen time!? His backstory is really good. He's a very sympathetic villain. Definitely my favorite villain of the MCU thus far. I just wish he was in the movie A LOT more than he was. The moment with him and Peter was great though.
Tom Holland is quite good as Spider-Man. However, I enjoyed him much more in Captain America: Civil War. He's super reckless in this movie,…
Gosh, I can't believe we finally have a good Spider-man film. Yes, it hits all the story tics of a usual superhero/Marvel film, and yes, that still bugged the hell of out me, it manages to be so damn funny and entertaining that it made me forget about that for the most part. I've long since grown tired of the superhero glut, but this managed to charm the pants right off of me.

Spider-Man: Homecoming had a lot working against it when I sat down in the theater to view it. This is the third reboot of a single hero within a ten-year time frame, this is the first solo outing of Tom Holland as Spider-Man, and I honestly abhor the Marvel “Cinematic” Universe and virtually all that it stands for. And while I still hold true to this value, Homecoming does something different – it is uses its screen time to be a film.
Without digging too deep into my disdain for Marvel Studios, one of my biggest gripes is that they simply do not make films anymore. This is a company that is so obsessed with building seemingly endless brands that…
Story and villain were both superb. Vulture is up there as one of the best and strongest villains the MCU has ever had. For me, one of the best things about a villain is their connection to the main hero. And they connected him in some very interesting ways that I did not see coming. Plus, Michael Keaton is a crazy-good actor. Tom Holland is the best Spidey we've had thus far. He has the best qualities present in Tobey's version and in Andrew's version. He's the best mix of the two and also the perfect age.
I love that it connected all throughout the MCU, even sticking in a little Ultron cameo for fun. Tony's part was much smaller…
This version of Spider-Man seemed like it was written by a middle schooler based on all the "heh heh your aunt is so hawt" jokes. It did manage to keep the story line very grounded and believable, but something just felt off throughout. It still felt like most MCU films that usually come out and really brought little to nothing new to this exhausted genre. Tom Holland was great as Peter Parker and a step above Andrew Garfield, but clearly this version of the web-slinger is for a new generation of superhero enthusiasts that felt almost exclusive. I'm sure this is great for those new fans and I'm glad they get to grow up with Spiderman films the way I did. Overall, very disappointed in this after a great introduction in last year's Civil War.
Star Wars jokes, huh, Disney? Not trying to be subtle anymore?
It's a remake of Spider-Man 2. Now I know that's a dumb criticism to be made, because really, how many different stories for a Spider-Man movie can you do at this point? Well, actually a lot! There's how many fucking comic books stories from The Amazing Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man that Marvel Studios and Sony could've pulled from? But NOPE. We get an almost scene-by-scene copy of Spider-Man 2 with Toby Maguire. And my biggest problem with that decision, is they didn't ever top that film once in the entire run-time. There's even a scene that directly mirrors the "Raindrops are falling on my head" scene from 2, where…

By far the best adaptation of Spider-Man to date. Tom Holland is the perfect rendition of the Peter Parker from the classic comic book franchise.
