Spider-Man: Homecoming

And so everyone, we've finally reached my most anticipated movie of the entire year, Spider-Man: Homecoming. I was obviously really anticipating this movie a lot. It's my favourite superhero of all time in his own full length movie in the M.C.U. Not to mention the fact that every trailer for this movie was amazing and early reviews for this movie was saying that it's the best Spider-Man movie since Spider-Man 2 in 2004. And recently, after watching the Amazing Spider-Man movies to get ready for this movie, I sorta noticed they aren't as good as I remember and they are messy movies. I do enjoy them but I have noticed that, as well as the fact that I don't really see myself watching them a lot. And so I could kinda see that when people were talking about them. But I still couldn't wait for this movie and I went into it so excited. And what did I think of it? It's my favourite Spider-Man movie ever. This is the real Spider-Man movie on screen for the first time ever in my opinion. I loved everything about this movie and this is exactly what I want out of a Spider-Man movie and just a comic book movie in general. This is, without a doubt, my favourite movie of the year so far. And, no, I don't think I'm saying out of fanboy-ism. And, yes, just like before, I'm going to do the first part spoiler free and then I'll do the spoilers, so nothing will be ruined for you. What's the story? It opens up with Adrian Toomes, played by Michael Keaton, cleaning up the train station from the Avengers when Thor and Hulk smash that big Chitauri creature into it. But now he's getting fired but he keeps a lot of the things he found there hoping to make something. We then Peter making that video diary during his time with the Avengers and fighting in Civil War. Some time later when he's back at home he's just being a regular teenager by going to school, trying to make it to places on time and just trying to get through day to day problems, which is great. That's what Spider-Man is. He's just a normal kid who has everyday problems. That's one of the things that makes Spider-Man so unique. The fact that that's what he is. A normal kid who has problems, which is why he's so relatable. Anyway, he feels Tony isn't letting him do a lot of serious missions. He feels he just doing some small on the ground work. He's also got problems at school too. He has a crush on a Liz Allen, played by Laura Harrier, who might actually be my favourite on-screen Spider-Man love interest. I liked Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, but I think this might be my favourite. Anyway, he has a best friend named Ned, played by Jacob Batalon. And Flash Thomson, played by Tony Revolori, is always picking on him. And I'm going stop there because I don't want to get into the plot basics just yet. So as I just said, they finally got the character of Spider-Man and Peter Parker perfectly right in this. As I said, he's just kid who has problems and he's needs to do all these things, while also being a kid. That's who Spider-Man and Peter Parker is. That's something Stan Lee has said a ton of times. That that's why everyone loves Spider-Man so much. Because anyone can relate to him because he has so many everyday problems, just like everyone else. I relate to that a lot. And Tom Holland did an amazing job as both characters in this. I think he's even better in this movie than he was in Civil War. Really, all the cast is amazing. Marisa Tomei, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, Laura Harrier, Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Bokeem Woodbine and even Michael Keaton was fantastic. The Vulture as well, I think was a great villain in this. Another one of the better M.C.U villains to date. This year has done pretty well with Marvel villains. Kurt Russell was  fantastic as Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and the villain, I think was well written. Vulture here was really well handled too and I think they did a great job with both villains and Michael Keaton did a brilliant job as the character while also making him pretty scary at times too. He was also interesting and there was one twist with him that really blew my mind. There's something they do with him that I did not expect at all and that's something the trailers hid really well. I'll talk about it in the spoilers. The direction by Jon Watts is amazing, I think he really did fantastic job honouring the character. And the action is very well handled. It's everything you want to see Spider-Man doing. Another thing that really intrigued me about this was the kinda mystery aspect to it. I won't spoil anything, but there's an aspect to this that almost feels like a mystery with Spider-Man and the villains. And that whole aspect I found really interesting and so entertaining. Another thing I like was Jennifer Connelly as Karen. I don't consider this a spoiler because we saw it in the trailers, but Karen is the name of the computer inside Peter's costume and watching them interact was amazing. I loved it. Speaking of he costume, this is my new personal favourite Spider-Man costume. It's so actuate and it looks amazing every time you see it. Seeing Tony and Happy back as well was fantastic to see. They didn't have as much screen time as I thought, and that was really good because I didn't want Tony to take up a lot of this movie and be a centre character when this is a Spider-Man movie. I mean, I'm glad I saw him in it and it was amazing and cool to see the two of them share screen time together because they are my two favourite superheroes ever. But still, Robert Downey Jr., once again, is amazing as Tony. There are also a lot of twists in this movie too. Along with the one I mentioned a second ago with Vulture, there's quite a bit of them. That was something some people were worried about. The fact that they thought the trailers gave away too much. But I think that's what you were supposed to think. But there are a lot of twists in between the simple plot. The effects are also cool, like the special effects on the costumes, but also everything else like the boat scene you saw in the trailers. That whole scene was cool and I loved the final battle too. So is this movie the best Spider-Man movie ever? In my opinion, it is. For others, it's still Spider-Man 2. But I love this movie. It's my favourite Spider-Man movie, it's my favourite movie of the year so far and I can't stretch enough how happy I happy to say that this is the best Spider-Man movie in a long time and it was nice that is wasn't another origin movie for the character. I'm absolutely recommending you see this movie and enjoy it because I certainly did and I can't wait to see more of Spider-Man in the future M.C.U movies. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
Spoilers:
Okay, first, I want to talk about that big twist with Vulture I was talking about. That was the fact that he's actually Liz's dad and when Peter saw that and it surprised him, that almost kinda made me shake. And then the ending when it looked like he died but then Peter saved him, that was nice to see and it was nice that this was another M.C.U villain that didn't end up dying in the end. And I thought it was really funny when Aunt May found out Peter was Spider-Man in the end. That made me laugh. But I think the funniest part for me was the intimidation voice scene. That almost made me die laughing. The Stan Lee cameo was pretty good, but I think I liked the one in Guardians a little more. And as I saying with the whole mystery aspect to the movie, I was talking about when Peter was trying to find out where the bad guys were. That really interested me. The whole dance scene was pretty sad where he had to leave Liz because he thought it was a bad move. And speaking of Liz, it was also sad that she had to move at the end because Adrian was put in prison. I also liked when Ned was trying to help Peter try to find the bad guys. That was really funny. Especially when he said he was looking at porn. And I thought it was cool the way they recreated the image of that Spider-Man comic from the original series.


And the ending was great too where we see the new iron Spider-Man suit and seeing Pepper again after 5 years. I liked that aspect to it. The fact that more M.C.U characters had a place in this and they belonged there I think. The end credit scenes were cool. The first with scorpion set-up in prison. And I think it would be cool to see him in the sequel. And the second one with that funny Captain America scene explaining patience was beyond hilarious. I burst out laughing. And I like how it didn't have to be like a set-up thing for anything. Just a really funny scene. And I think that that's all the spoilers I had a great time talking about it.
