Review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) by Robe_Insf — 05 Aug 2017

I had high hopes for this movie given the good reviews, etc., but I found this new, Avenger-in-training version of spidey pretty disappointing. Gone are many of the trademark characteristics that make spider-man interesting, like his trademark sarcasm, the personality contrasts between Peter and his alter ego, and his overriding sense of purpose based on the murder of his uncle.

Instead we get goofy over-earnestness, no interesting character conflicts, and a single-minded drive to become an Avenger. Really? This combination for me at least just didn't work.
