Review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) by San T — 18 Jul 2017

Tom Holland is the best Spiderman yet, managing that difficult blend of immature angst and enormous fun. Michael Keaton's great as the Vulture. And Tony Stark manages to appear in exactly the right number of scenes to establish the conflict while not intruding unwelcomingly on the main plot.

It's still all about Peter. The plot of the film is kinda weak, being more a series of vignettes than anything else, but the character arc is good. There are so many times I groaned and muttered to myself that this is the sort of situation that only Peter could get himself into.

Screw the Vulture, Pete's his own worst enemy here. The high school context really works and for the first time, he really feels like a teenager.
