Review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) by Abach — 17 Jul 2017

Getting this off the table first and foremost, I'm a die-hard Spider-Man fan. I always have been, so I'm going to leave personal bias out of this review. Spider-Man: Homecoming is definitely not the best "film" that has ever been produced for this character, but it's hands down the best portrayal of the titular character that has ever been put to screen.

Coming off Captain America: Civil War, fans loves this rendition of Spider-Man (for the most part) and were very excited to witness his first solo run. I can happily say that I had an absolute blast watching this movie.

Sure, it feels very much like an addition to the already existing Marvel Cinematic Universe, but people who expect otherwise shouldn't be excited for these movies anyways. Here is why I believe fans of the existing Marvel franchise need to get excited about Spider-Man: Homecoming.

There is no denying that this is a Spider-Man movie first, worrying about the rest of the universe as a secondary element, but there is something that has become very episodic about the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

When it comes to Spider-Man movies, the first thing they need to do is be entertaining. If you don't walk out of this film at least pleased by its entertainment levels, then you must have not been in the right mood to watch this movie.

The action sequences (which there are quite a few of) are done with care and there are many quippy one-liners throughout the entire duration. Everything this film needed to do in order to perfect the characters and the spidey action, I believe it did so tenfold.

I can't complain about this movie too much, so I have nothing to do but score it very high. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a giant showcase of the best this character has ever been on the big screen. There is only very need to a film is a better working out and more attention to the spider's flair.
