Colorful, funny, and tons of fun, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" is a great first solo outing for Spidey in the MCU. It even features one of the MCU's best villains to date.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Our take: See it in theaters. The extra $2 for a 3-D showing will not be a waste.
Post credit scene? Yes, two, so just wait until that last Sony logo appears to get up and leave.

You would hope that when they do a reboot every three years they’d learn something. And they did. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun, fresh, and fast-paced installation and the movie we’ve been waiting years for.
Forget the doom and gloom, forgot convoluted side plots, forget Oscorp and the Bugle, forget the awkward emo dance moves — this movie eliminated it all and tucked the canon neatly into the MCU instead. Somehow, it was even able to give the newly introduced villain, Vulture, a grounded backstory in the universe. Picking up after his backdoor-pilot mission in Civil War, Holland finally gives us a coming-of-age, high school Peter Parker story we need instead of just handing us an amazing Spider-Man.
With very little exposition necessary (sorry Uncle Ben, but we’ve seen you die, A LOT) the movie was allowed to explore the character and struggles that Peter Parker has in both high school and as a hero, in ways the other films failed to (Incredibly, movies about high schoolers are so much better when you cast younger actors instead of British men in their 30s that you have to get out of high ASAP because the aging process doesn’t stop.)
Added to the mix are a sidekick (Ned played by Jacob Batalon) that often steals the show a lot of sidekick comedy, a stupid high school crush (Liz played by Laura Harrier), and an MCU caliber villain creating an instant hit for all ages. Even with the occasional plot or character stumble, the film was able to deliver an amusing and entertaining look at the new Spider-Man franchise. But
The film leaves you with a familiar feeling, and yet, it also feels completely new — it’s an increasingly delightful dichotomy and direction for these films to be heading in.

Featuring: Birdman as another … birdman. An impressive attempt to include a POC entity in every single frame of the movie, reminding us just how diverse NYC is (fun fact, not as diverse as Houston, but whatever). Also lots and lots of Star Wars references in case you forgot Disney was involved in this movie, which Sony would probably be happy you did (you can tell by the number of times Sony will be splattered on the screen).… Expand

The one weNow back in Marvel’s hands, fans are finally guaranteed to love Spider-Man again. Personally, I say Tobey Maguire still has the best cinematic version, with Spider-Man: Homecoming coming out on top over the Andrew Garfield version. The one we got now gives a brand spanking new take on the famous webslinger, one maybe a little too reliant on jokes for an emotionally satisfying experience. I admit it works in delivering another really funny movie by Marvel Studios, even though the other disliked clichés of the franchise are still here, including his ridiculous pose in front of the American flag. What possibly went wrong here? Well…

Several of the plot details may shut some viewers off. A blatant “save the cat” scenario comes up early on, which may not sound too lame for anyone unfamiliar with what it means, until a coincidental plot twist and the most unromantic of marriage proposals dissatisfies any feel of logic. Besides Tony, nobody in the overly male cast has any personal ambition to exist other than to progress Peter’s journey at the most unbelievably convenient times. So no need to include Spidey in any “Screenwriting 101” courses.

I cannot say that Stark’s version of the patriot-colored costume tops all over versions; a couple of unnecessary gadgets, including a drone from his chest, drags it down too much to feel like the classic Spider-Man. His webbing also breaks too easily compared to Maguire’s and Garfield’s Spider-Men. While plenty of moments could have matched the intensity of Spider-Man 2’s train rescue, it ultimately misses those opportunities. For instance, the ferry repair we all saw in the trailer ends too soon, aside from our hero forming a very on-the-nose crucifix pose.

If anything, this movie works best from all its small, brief moments that connect to the rest of the MCU. To go into greater detail, it introduces our main hero with a hilarious video diary featuring Peter’s perspective of the Civil War battle. Then he attempts to contact his mentor through a long chain of unanswered texts (again, very funny). These small moments all open up chances for the adorkable wall crawler to just have some fun, especially when he has to learn his web shooter settings. The rest of the cast outside of Tom Holland also puts in their A-game: Jacob Batalon, who plays Peter’s best friend, times his jokes perfectly. Even Marisa Tomei understands her role beyond just being “hot Aunt May,” and delivers moments when she genuinely tries to help her confused, secretive nephew. Overall, Spider-Man: Homecoming has now become the best acted, and most racially diverse, MCU movie to date.

Yes, like New York City itself, the cast swims in a melting pot of color. Marvel very much strives for a new, inclusive version of the American arachnid, which is great, but the extra ethnicities contribute no storytelling purpose. Make Peter’s Black love interest a Jew, and the plot remains unchanged. Turn the wimpy Indian bully Flash into the blonde-haired macho man he was intended to be, and again, nothing changes.

In fact, I wish we got to see more of the high school setting than Peter’s underused classmates. Rather than social media trends and fidget spinners, we instead watch genius kids solving problems better than the CIA. The “Totally 80’s” themed homecoming dance itself lasts only a few moments, and when we see it, it looks exactly opposite of the 1980’s. Although the homecoming setting does turn briefly hilarious by incorporating the awkward homecoming photo session under dad’s careful hawk’s eye.

Outside of the high school world, both New York and DC are key locations throughout the feature. The makeup and hairstyling job on the entire cast looks great in the different locations, but if you rewrote the script to take place in Malaysia, the story remains unaltered.

Although Spider-Man: Homecoming did get one thing right about New York’s culture: the rebellious nature of its teenagers. Even compared to the other Avengers, no parent would want to raise a selfish kid like Peter. Like his counterpart Deadpool, Spider-Man defaces public property, steals cars, hates authority, and lies to everyone so that he can have fun fighting bad guys. He treats criminals like they deserve just to be bullied around by some kid. His mentor, Iron Man, even gives him a great moral, saying, “If you’re nothing without the suit then you should not have it,” yet the ending contradicts his sensical message. Teens nowadays deserve better role models.

So therefore, I personally prefer the whimpering Tobey Maguire over the kid with the hot aunt; yet I prefer the single antagonist he fights here, however badly designed he may be, over the excessive plastering of villains pitted against Garfield. So the overall perfect version of Spider-Man may never exist, but for what we got now, it’ll do.… Expand

Dear Spiderman,
I’m writing this to say we’re done. Officially it’s over. Just so we’re clear it’s not me it’s you. It’s been 15 years and although there were some good times more recently it’s more bad than good. I guess you’ve just changedDear Spiderman,
I’m writing this to say we’re done. Officially it’s over. Just so we’re clear it’s not me it’s you. It’s been 15 years and although there were some good times more recently it’s more bad than good. I guess you’ve just changed so much and honestly I can’t take it anymore and I’d like to move on with my life. So by all means make your sequels, sell yourself to the MCU and down the line I’m sure yet another reboot is on the cards but I won’t be there to see it. I’m done.
It’s not that Spiderman Homecoming is terrible and it’s definitely not the worst Spiderman movie you could watch. Aside from all the high school scenes, there are some redeeming moments, most of which feature Michael Keaton. Let’s face it, he makes a good villain but it’s hardly a memorable performance. Tom Holland do I like you as Spiderman? No I don’t. You’re annoying and you have no off switch but I understand that this reinvention of the character is not aimed at me. So bring your kids to this overly long, generic Iron Man movie featuring Spiderman. It’s got the action, the endless references to the Avengers but it never gripped me. The jokes were constant and too many fell flat, the story was a drag and unfocused. I was never on the edge of my seat. There was no amazing story, no soaring score, nothing that stands out. I forgot I was supposed to be watching a Spiderman movie and I was relieved when it finally ended. So relieved I didn’t even stay for the two post credit scenes. Recommended for the fanboys, as for everyone else just skip it. Goodbye Spiderman.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some of the most fun I've had in a superhero movie. Can't believe Wonder Woman is given a higher score by the critics than Spider-Man: Homecoming. Then again, some critics believe that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire were more suitable for the role of Spiderman. Tom Holland provides some much needed innocence and comic relief to his role. His high school friends, with the exception of Ned and Liz (to an extent), were rather uninteresting, but that was OK. They are balanced by the more interesting character of Vulture, who clashes with the innocence of Spiderman. Somehow, this movie manages to resolve these two characters, as seen in the mid-credits scene. For the most part, Spiderman gets scolded by Iron Man when he deserves it, except in the final battle. Spiderman and Vulture are fighting on the surface of a plane, and during the battle, the plane crashes into some sort of circus thing. This incident looked like it could have injured/killed dozens of people, yet no one even mentions it afterwards. Other than that, solid superhero flick. DC could learn a thing or two from these movies.… Expand

So how's this new reboot? Well,let's just say that it's a "What if Spider-Man ('02) got weirdly married with Home Alone?" and there you have it:"Spider-Man Homecoming". Sounds interestingly cool,right? I mean,the well-done story and visual effects and,of course,the magnificent score by Michael Giacchino CAN make this movie work...But it has some flaws. First off i didn't find nothing boring in the 3rd act (like some critics are saying),but i had some issues with the story. This is a story about having your normal high school life while being your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man at the same time. A story that,of course,has subplots,that are mixed with the story in a decent way. Movies like 'The LEGO Batman Movie'did very well in mixing the subplots in such an understandable way,but in this one it's just fine,noting new or bad,not even something interesting. The rest was great. Tom Holland portrays both Spider-Man and Peter Parker in a great way,and RDJ's just there only for some exposition because of Avengers Infinity War (i guess...),and there's nothing to say about Michael Keaton as The Vulture,he was just plain fantastic. In the end,if you were annoyed by 'The Amazing Spider-Man',then maybe Spider-Man Homecoming will resolve your problems. It's a lighthearted comedy with great performances,stylish visual effects,magnificent music,some lovable action and the same old fun you'll have from a Spider-Man movie.

(SPOILERS) And the last end credits sequence? A better troll than Harambe and We Are Number One.… Expand

A fun, colorful and energetic superhero movie that feels rather fresh. 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' is one of the best "Spider-Man" movies in a while, just a step below 'Spider-Man 2' (2004) and 'Spider-Man' (2002). What makes this movie work is Tom Holland's young and cheeky performance we see as the teenage hero of whom we got a glimpse of when he debuted in 'Captain America: Civil War' (2016), and now here he is, leading his own battle. We see that he faces the challenge of trying to live a normal, teenage, high school life, while at the same time, coping with being a street-level superhero, especially since Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is his mentor. He waits and waits for Tony to notify him for a mission so that he can become an avenger, but time passes, and not a single ring on his phone. He lives quietly with Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), who has no idea that he is Spider-Man, and hangs out at school with his rather dimwitted friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), who, if you saw the trailer, you'll know that he finds out that he is Spider-Man... it even happens early on in the film, so it's not really a spoiler. The movie's main villain is Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton), who becomes the "Vulture". Keaton is fantastic as the main villain, and is probably the most memorable Marvel villain since Loki and/or Ultron. Watching Peter living the double life of trying to be a hero and being a teenager is something we haven't seen since 'Spider-Man 2' (2004), the idea that he has to juggle and balance his life out so things could work, but nothing goes according to plan. This is something we need to see more of, as that is what his character is about. Nobody knows his identity, and he needs to remain level-headed since he's so young. Many may be concerned that Robert Downey Jr's "Iron Man" character is involved too much in the film, as the trailers and promotional marketing will show, all I can say without spoiling too much is that there is no reason to fear. Downey has about as much impact on this movie as Jared Leto did in 'Suicide Squad' (2016), but if you want my advice, do not watch all the trailers if you haven't already. There are some key cameos that are spoiled, and maybe on or two plot details. The cameos by other actors are funny though, if you don't see them coming. I will admit that there are too many references to the MCU, as obviously, this movie is trying to state that this is the MCU's version of Spider-Man, and not another stand-alone reboot. At times, the references can bog the movie down a little, as it seems it cannot stand on its own. I thought Zendaya's character was rather pointless as she is only in it for about a total of 10 minutes, and her character is rather bland and not so memorable. Other than that, I had a blast with this movie. I think that director Jon Watts did a capable job of crafting some really good action sequences, and that it shows that this is where the character belongs. However, with some things, you can tell that this is a product of two different studios, it's clear that producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal had different ideas that both tried to get in this movie. At times it worked, and then, it didn't. Go and have fun with this movie... it is the "Spider-Man" movie Marvel fans have been waiting for.… Expand

However, Spiderman: Homecoming fails to induce suchThe enduring presence of Spiderman on the big screen over the past fifteen years presumably caused a little fatigue once news spread of the third depiction of the crime-fighting hero. However, Spiderman: Homecoming fails to induce such feelings as the exuberant Tom Holland masters the role as Peter Parker in almost every way. After seeing him briefly in Captain America: Civil War and now under the wings of Marvel Studios, the introduction of Spiderman into the ever-expanding MCU proves to be an incredibly entertaining ride.
Spiderman: Homecoming is a very well directed film, as Jon Watts gives us a joyful adventure of the teenager Peter Parker who troubles to find the balance between his personal and superhero life. Still consumed by the actions he took against the likes of Captain America in Civil War, Peter Parker becomes a desperate man, hoping to join the Avengers and impress Tony Stark aka Iron Man, who acts as his mentor. It is with this mentality that he becomes entrenched into the Spiderman persona that has severe ramifications on his social life, both at home and at school. And as the nerdy and unpopular teenager, he uses his hidden persona to define his own sense of duty and morals. As seen in one of the trailers, Tony Stark chastises Peter, quoting, "If your nothing without this suit, you shouldn't have it". Tom Holland develops great chemistry with Robert Downey Jr in all their scenes, however, Tony Starks appearance doesn't shy away from the fact that this is a Spiderman film. This is a film that is grounded to Spiderman, and Spiderman only.
His high school story was very intriguing to watch, as we meet Ned (Jacob Batalon) who aids Peter Parker as his nerdy and funny best friend, Michelle (Zendaya) as the quirky, yet the lonely student who stands in the background, and Liz (Laura Harrier), Peter's accessible love interest. With Spiderman, Peter becomes less involved with the school, causing dysfunctional relationships to occur between him and many other students. Likewise at home with Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), who we see Peter become more distant with her as his agendas begin to take over.
The main villain, the Vulture, is unlike many of Marvel's villains, in that he is the most human out of all of them. He despises the rich and the powerful messing up the lives of those below them, in this case, Tony Stark and he cares deeply about his family, wanting to do everything in his power to keep them safe and happy. His backstory, seen in the opening of the film, and the effects of his actions proves that Adrian Toomes (his hidden persona) has more redeeming qualities than one might expect of a villain. Michael Keaton brilliantly plays the role, adding hidden depths rarely seen in a Superhero villain.
Overall, the action was solid, yet the film serves better as a character-driven story rather than the usual action we tend to see in other Marvel movies which may disappoint some fans. However, comic book films are about the characters and Spiderman: Homecoming accomplishes that extremely well. Tom Hollands gifts us with a great performance of the crime-fighting, friendly neighborhood Spiderman, accompanied by a great villain acted superbly by Michael Keaton, and a host of secondary characters that really complete a very well written film.… Expand
