Several months after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker, with the help of his mentor Tony Stark, tries to balance his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens, New York City while fighting crime as his superhero alter ego Spider-Man as a new threat, the Vulture, emerges.

We can only hope that we have finally achieved a degree of stability with the spider-man franchise considering that this is the second time that the franchise has been rebooted in the 2000’s with the casting of Tom Holland. Though it should also be noted apparently that there was a Spiderman live-action made-for-television superhero film trilogy released from 1977 to 1981 starring Nicholas Hammond As well as Supaidāman or Spider-Man: The Movie is a 1978 film based on the Marvel Comics Character Spider-Man and also a spin-off from the Japanese Spider-Man television series.

I suppose the big thing that the filmmakers should be congratulated on is the fact the origin of Spiderman was not retold, which is something that you would normally expect with a given rebooted superhero franchise, something that could possibly be explored in the upcoming sequels, but hopefully not the extent that would be done in an ‘origin’ story. This really is not the kind of movie that is going to reinvent the genre but this is still a very enjoyable movie to watch and director Jon Watts (even though I am completely unfamiliar with his work) should be congratulated for what he delivered. Even though it did have its darker moments Homecoming arguably has a lighter tone then the other 2000’s Spiderman franchises. I also loved how the movie slotted into the overall universe. Both Tom Holland and Jacob Batalon gave decent enough performances though some of their more comedic moments together left me groaning and hoping that don’t catch on. Michael Keaton will also probably go down as portraying one of the better villains from a Spiderman movie.
