Spider-Man: Homecoming is the homecoming of one of Marvel's favorite superheroes: Spider-Man. This time Falcon is after Spidey and Happy is not...happy about it.
One of the reason's I'm writing this review is because of John Francis Daley who you might recognize from Bones as Lance. He's got a new movie coming out this Friday called Game Night. Spider-Man: Homecoming had wonderful writing, there wasn't a dull moment and the flow of the movie went from scene to scene. I loved the dialogue too as a calling card of Spider-Man it's only expected that he has awesome lines.
I saw a Jon Watts film before I saw this called Clown. It was creepy and well directed for a nearly straight to DVD release. I actually saw it in the theater because I was working in one at the time. Marvel is great about taking young almost no-name directors and giving them a chance at the big times. Or maybe the producers do so much of the work you don't know that the director doesn't do anything. I don't agree with that last statement but it is a possibility.
Tom Holland is a perfect Spider-Man. I imagine when he's twenty-nine he'll still look young enough to play Spider-Man. His apprehension when around girls and his charisma when he has the mask on is just ideal. How he just relaxes in weird spots because he's Spider-Man is also just great and fits the comic book character.
The bad guy played by Michael Keaton isn't the first time we've seen Keaton as a birdman but that's why the pick is so perfect. It's almost like there was a joke layered when they did the casting. Keaton has the range like that of Jack Nickson and because of that, we get a great performance and with a villain that has a reason behind his madness.
Result: B+ (The same grade I gave Black Panther. I think Homecoming is more enjoyable, but Panther is better directed)
