Spider-Man Homecoming 2017

  • Director: Jon Watts
  • Based on book: no

  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:

    • Michael Keaton – Many
    • Robert Downey Jr – Many
    • Marisa Tomei – Many
    • Zendaya – Dune, The Greatest Showman
    • Laura Harrier  - BlackKklansman, Unforgettable
  • Why? The series continues…
  • Seen:  14 December 2024.      

       OK, let’s see what young Tom Holland can do.

       Oh, aliens. That’s new. And Iron Man?

       Yes, Iron Man, aka Tony Stark (Downing). Peter Parker (Holland), still a bullied geeky high school fifteen-year-old, though it’s now somewhen in the future, still a mischievous puckish Spider-Man, is now taking part in Tony Stark’s internship program. Young Peter longs to become one of the Avengers.

       OMG! Aunt May has become Marisa Tomei!

       The story: Spider-Man is trying a to stop the bad guys led by Keaton, who stole alien tech and are selling bad ass weapons to villains.

       Conclusion: Holland is better than Maguire, not as good as Garfield, but silly and loveable. Love interest Liz (Harrier) is not much of a character but better than wimpy Dunst, not nearly as good as Stone. Aunt May is very cool, a completely different kind of aunt.

       Not Amazing but after a slow start it’s entertaining if you like slapstick. There is just enough serious bits to be gripping toward the end and twists to keep us hopping.

       First half 2* second half 4*, so altogether 

3* of 5, OK then 3 ½ * of 5
