Review of Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) by Danny M — 18 Oct 2017

Marvel are the saviours of cinema right now. With recent 2016/17 summer blockbusters falling massively flat Marvel always deliver. It has genuine human moments and emotions which stem from the most classic story arc's possible.

Overcoming adversity, making your way in the world, what it means to be a hero. There is also a good amount of laugh's and humour in this film which are genuine and not false. Everything about this film comes across as genuine and not false when a film of this scale could have easily lost it's grounding.

Michael Keaton is great in this movie. He has just the right amount of menace and subtle psychotic edge. The tech in this film is great, it looks great and gives the movie an impressive & immersive feel.

Spiderman himself impacts with the viewer much more as a young man. It is easy to fall in love with this new Spiderman because we all like to support a plucky kid from queens. The movie is paced well and does not succome to the tiresome explanations of Spiderman's origin's.

It plant's you straight into the middle of things and moves on at a steady pace from there. The only negative perhaps is that the 1 on 1 battle sequence between Spiderman and his nemesis could have been a bit more direct and brutal but apart from that the movie is another belter from marvel.
