Plots(1)
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

Quite a surprise. Before the screening, I would have said that the thematic chest around the spider hero had been emptied by the completion of the Raimi trilogy, but Kevin Feige at Marvel proves time and time again that he knows exactly what he wants to do and how to do it. Homecoming's weaknesses, though, are precisely that it doesn't bring anything too original to the general Spidey themes around the dream girl or his loserism, and that it is a bit skeletal in its attempts to connect the overarching Avenger level to its own story, but it remains a highly entertaining and light-hearted piece that Marvel has been missing from its mosaic – that of the boy within the superhero, a boy who, in addition to the bad guys, has to deal primarily with himself and his teenage problems. One of those comics films that is not so visually imaginative, but definitely the most thoughtful, which benefits a lot from the characterful and unconventionally human villain performed by Michael Keaton. Nowhere near as rushed and forced towards the impending massive team-up as I feared.

The main goal that the creators set for themselves came out only halfway. The anticipated connection of superhero grandeur with ordinary high school adventure ultimately endures moments when they don't fit well together and often clash loudly. The teenage storyline, in fact, is sewn with an unnecessarily hot needle compared to the purely Marvel-esque (events from The Avengers and Captain America: Civil War are mined almost to the core) and thus the resulting impressions surprisingly have to be pulled up by Tony Stark himself in an unsurprisingly awesome performance by Robert Downey, Jr. Tom Holland enjoys the costume to the last line and tries to be that modern version of Spidey, but even though I was optimistic after he was introduced, he has been slow to win me over. Even though he is as close to Spider-Man as Tobey Maguire once was, the memories of Andrew Garfield and the whole Amazing Spider-Man are too intense and positive for me to accept this new reboot so quickly. 70% and the hope that when entering the same river for the third time, they will not cowardly retreat this time.

This is the third reboot, so I wasn't that curious, I prefer newer characters, but still I wasn't bored and a few things surprised me, so I have no problem with a better rating. Tom Holland sat well with me in the end despite my prejudices, Laura Harrier is incredibly cute, Michael Keaton is a decent bad guy after a long time, and Robert Downey Jr. steals every scene for himself. As for the action, there is not that much and it's rather mediocre, which is one of the bigger criticisms, otherwise the humour was pretty good, the school setting was fine (I still expected more though), and there was one interesting unexpected twist which may well have decided the final rating. I liked it more than Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy, I would put Spidey in the category of slightly above average Marvel movies. 7/10.

At last Spider man filmed right! Coming into the Marvel fold brought the desired emphasis on story and the endeavor not to repeat needless fatefulness paid off. Young Parker is a really nice guy and loser, which were the main ingredients that past adaptations were unable to put across with any success. Maguire was a jerk from the outset and Garfield was unnecessarily sullen. Under Stark’s command, it all colors out nicely and his dialogs with the suit lightens everything up a little. Keaton as Toomes is one of Marvel’s best bad guys. On a classic, but dynamic story level, Homecoming gives us an original twist on Parker’s bad luck. The action scenes are handled excellently. The comedy scenes are even better. The scenes with the tubby friend are super. Giacchino’s music outstrips any preceding spider composers with playful melodies and even some variations of old TV themes. P.S: Birdman is back!

I am slightly shocked. A director, who has so far shot only a couple of B-rated horror movies, suddenly elevated his movie career with a film that is probably the most entertaining Spider-Man story ever. It is true that they played around a bit with the character of Spider-Man so it would be best if you immediately forgot about Sam Raimi’s original trilogy. They turned him into this poor superhero who can’t do anything, who sucks, and is literally a pain in the butt of the famous Stark Industries. Michael Keaton is also no two-dimensional villain but surprisingly a rather real person who really surprised me with his role. A precisely targeted humor that makes out Spider-Man to be a poor thing is surprisingly very nice and the high-school setting is very beneficial. Surprisingly, a very well-done Marvel movie.
