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…
My favorite part was when Spidey put on sun glasses and says "Deal With It" and then dabbed while spinning five fidget spinners. Marvel sure knows what the kids like nowadays
A smart re-introduction to the Spider-Man mythos, Spider-Man: Homecoming is not as good as the Raimi films that preceded it, but is still an enjoyable summer blockbuster.
Great final scene, but overall, a bit muddy and CGI-heavy. What's w/ the fascination w/ the 80s? From the end-credits animation to the incessant '80s music--even at a contemporary high school prom--it's ubiquitous for no good reason. And the brief scene at a house party, where the music is at least plausible, it's of the most generic variety.
Jon Favreau can, and has, done much better in his role as Happy. The casting of Michael Keaton as the Vulture is brilliant, though obvious, after his turn as Birdman. Tom Holland is adequate in the titular role, but, frankly, not as smart or charismatic as Andrew Garfield was. Mostly, though, I'm suitable disturbed with the casting of the HOTTEST. AUNT MAY. EVER.
I enjoyed this far more than I was expecting, yet Raimi’s - and Maguire’s - Spider-man is in a league of its own.
The best thing about this “filler” of a movie is the joint charm of Tom Holland, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, and, most of all, Robert Downey Jr.
Tom Holland is such a refreshing addition to the MCU and is perfect as Spider-Man, with his boyish innocence and wit. I thought I’d always be a Tobey Maguire fan but Holland is almost as good if not better.
All that aside, this film lacks the depth and character of the Raimi originals, while still capturing the essence of Spider-Man, the super hero.
