Overall however, Homecoming is a success, and undoubtedly a welcome addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and an installment that will please Spider-Man fans without question.The reasons why we never got The Amazing Spider-Man 3 are many, but perhaps the primary factor, as it always seems to be in Hollywood, was money.Īrriving five years after the end of the Tobey Maguire/Sam Raimi era of Spider-Man movies, which was capped by 2007’s critically divisive Spider-Man 3 earning a healthy $895 million worldwide, 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man introduced Garfield as Peter Parker, retold the origin story yet again and managed to haul in a very respectable $758 million at the box office–not as much as the Maguire movies, but still profitable and seen as a win considering it was a full-fledged reboot of the franchise. Something that did trouble me walking out of the cinema was that whilst the film was great, it did feel like it was missing something perhaps it was darker elements, or even emotional scenes. A criticism I would make is that the relationship between Peter and his love interest Liz (portrayed by Laura Harrier) feels extremely strained. Jacob Batalon is sparky as Ned, and RDJ is once again on fine form as Tony Stark, albeit in a smaller role in the film.
The Vulture is a great villain, with Michael Keaton making you uneasy with every word that came out of his mouth. Tom Holland is the Perfect Peter Parker, and is genuinely hilarious and lovable throughout the film. But the cast, well directed by John Watts is what really impressed me in Homecoming. The script and story are adequate, and the humour charming if leaned on a little too heavily. The high school element element was also invigorating, and felt like a good move on the studio's part as well. The tone is one of the things I particularly admired in this film I could really relax, and have a good time.
It's well acted and directed, with the best version of Spider-Man to date, although it does feel like something's missing. After the relative disappointment of the Amazing Spider-Man films, Spider-Man Homecoming is a welcome breath of fresh air.
