Spider-Man
Homecoming 9 ½/10
Oh, I
had all of the fun watching Spider-Man Homecoming! There will be some
spoilers in this. I'm not gonna review this like I do other movies
and cover it completely or anything. This movie is everything that as
a fan of Tom Holland in Civil War and rated Holland as the best
Spider-Man that I wanted. He was nerdy, he lacked confidence, had a
great support group, and wasn't hated by everyone. This movie also
had a really good supporting cast. It wasn't just about Spider-Man
struggling with his powers and being hated by everyone in the city.
He was an actual friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man which is something
all other five films failed to do. People would see him and get hype
and then ask him to do tricks. It also showed that crime is not
always happening and sometimes there isn't even when Spider-Man
thinks there is.
I am
all over the place with this review so far. This starts off with a
clean up crew run by Adrian Toomes played by Michael Keaton. He and
his team pick up the alien shit left by the battle from Avengers in
New York. By the way, love the continuity in these movies. One day a
group run by Tony Stark aka Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr. shows
up like “Thanks, but we're doing this now. You're all unemployed.”
Toomes steals some of the left behind stuff and his group start
making weapons from it and selling them. This guy just wants to
support his family and his friends and points out how Stark makes a
mess then gets paid to clean it up. Toomes has great motivation to do
what he does and Keaton, who later becomes The Vulture is awesome.
This is better than a bald, old man in green tights with wings.
Peter
Parker wants action. I mean, his first adventure with other heroes
was so damned huge that he no longer wants to just stay in the city
fighting crime. He wants to be an Avenger but Stark knows he is not
ready yet. Peter continues to stay at school with his friend Ned. I
was not a fan of Ned. This fucking guy, I swear. He accidentally
finds out that Peter is Spider-Man and can not keep his mouth shut
about it. He keeps asking questions, in PUBLIC, and shit and wants
Peter to capitalize off being powerful more. Peter is trying to keep
his secret, not die, be an Avengers, finish school, and go after this
girl he is into named Liz. I waited until I got home and checked her
age before perving because I'm an adult and prison is real. But
seriously. Fuck Ned.
Marisa
Tomei plays Aunt May again and she is by far the best Aunt May in
these series of films. Not only is she able to portray a relationship
with Peter an not just be a hurdle, but she isn't an idiot. It was so
nice to see that. She isn't a victim just moping because Ben is dead.
Oh, thank god they didn't show him being shot again! We get it. He
dead. Its all Peter's fault. Zendaya is also in this as Michelle. She
is not really a friend of Peter's so much as this bitter shadow that
just appears to remind him that he sucks. Loved her. She made me
laugh so many times in this. She also looked like she was woken from
sleep by a ghost.
RDJ
acts as a father figure to Peter and does not want that. At one point
he takes away Peter's costume after he and Ned hack the shit and bump
it up to its final form. Its already a cool suit but when it is super
activated it has its own voice he names Karen as well as hundreds of
abilities. He is always good as Iron Man and the cool thing is if you
go back and watch his first film you see how much he has grown and
changed since then. Jon Favreau is back as Happy and wants Peter to
leave him the hell alone. Peter is constantly texting and calling
wanting a new mission that never comes.
I
don't wanna spoil much more about this movie because it has a lot of
surprises especially if you know about villains from the comics. I
read about who everyone I didn't know was and got excited because
they are actual characters I didn't know about from the comics. This
version of Spider-Man could easily have a Sinister Six which is
something fucking nerds will not shut up about. In the older films
they have had three Green Goblins, Sandman, Doc Ock, Venom, and
Shocker. In this movie they had Vulture, Shocker, and even Scorpion.
Those guys are all in this in a way that isn't shoehorned or scream
at viewers. I doubt many people even got who Scorpion was. If you get
the chance check this out. I wanted to see it in IMAX 3D or even
regular ass 3D but the traffic on Santa Monica Blvd. in the morning
is horseshit because of construction so I was late.
