  Review by Josh Lewis ★★ 65

  When I grew up reading Spider-Man comics I really related to the parts where Peter Parker got handed state-of-the-art tech to beat up working-class laborers that were screwed over by his billionaire mentor. Fond memories of Devin Faraci saying Michael Keaton was a Bernie Bro when this came out lol. Anyway, pretty cute and funny and well-performed outside of every decision they made to make this look as visually bland as every other one of these movies and strip my fav comic book character of any drama or details about his class status.

  Super entertaining film. It managed to carry up the Spider-Man franchise from the dreck that was the boring, unfinished emo-man trilogy and remind everyone why Peter Parker is such a likable character. Holland's take on the character has grown to become my favorite, and the rest of the cast is great too.

  It doesn't rehash old plot lines that have been done with this franchise before, it's funny, it has a great villain, and the loud cgi action is kept to a minimum.

  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.

  Review by Alex Hunter ★★ 26

  I like Tony Stark in this movie. I like how he secretly cares a lot about Peter, I like some of the subtlety involved with that. 

  I like the Vulture, maybe I just like Keaton and that car scene with Keaton. Genuinely stressful, genuinely performed. 

  Filmmaking wise it’s perfectly fine. It’s colorful (thank god). It has a consistent tone and solid pacing. But... there’s no style to it. The high school scenes are shot the exact same way as the Spider-Man scenes. There is no visual difference. Instead they play the Ramones in the background to give it some energy. Every shot is filmed in flat mediums, even the pretty ones (Peter sitting on fire escape during golden hour). 

  I…

  Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 55

  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,…

  Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★★★½ 2

  Better than I remember. Funny, cute, exciting. It's cool to see how normal people live within this universe and I like the small stakes story that still manages to give the hero a chance to prove himself. The car scene is top tier MCU.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 14

  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…
