Spider-Man: Homecoming
Review by Ryan Davidson
Score: 8.75/10Five "Spider-Man" movies later and Disney finally gets their first crack at the character. We first welcomed Spidey to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War, which was awesome, and now he gets his own feature. Spider-Man: Homecoming follows a 15 year old high-schooler named Peter Parker (Played by Tom Holland), who doubles as the web slinging super hero, as he is tasked with taking down The Vulture. (Played by Michael Keaton) This is the best adaptation of Peter Parker in Cinematic history, and it starts with him actually being a high school kid. Tom Holland is phenomenal in this film, he basically is Peter Parker. His friend, Ned, is hilarious, and I really enjoyed his character. Tony Stark (Ironman, Played by Robert Downey Jr.) played a small role in the film, but didn't overshadow Peter Parker, which was something people were scared of due to the trailers. This movie felt small, but in a good way, as it was a movie solely about Peter Parker's struggle with being a kid and a super hero at the same time. I enjoyed all the Spider-Man scenes as well, they nailed his humor and his character. Michael Keaton was sensational in this movie, and I can honestly say that he is (for now, I'm looking at you Thanos.) my favorite villain in the entire MCU. One of my gripes about the film was that it has pacing issues. Toward the beginning of the film, it's extremely fast pace (too fast for my taste, might I add.), but by the end it has slowed down to an even pace, which just makes the film feel uneven. Overall It's a fantastic comic book film, and a must watch to any and all who are invested in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
