'Spider-Man: Homecoming' - Another reboot yet again something about this Spidey created a spark in last year's Capt. America: Civil War that he deserved a solo film and trust me on this, this film works big time because of its simplicity, humour and freshness whose sole credit goes simply to leading man / boy Tom Holland playing a young teenager version of Peter Parker / Spider-Man. Another fact that this is a joint venture between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios has paved a way for Spidey to join the massive gang of future Avenger films.
Michael Keaton's role as the Vulture was not your typical antagonist as he was a man who had certain vested interests but nothing to dominate the world which itself was something different in movies of such genre. He is good no doubt in his act. Jon Favreau returns as Happy Hogan who keeps a close watch on Spidey.
Spidey's best pal Ned is a very entertaining character and his chemistry with Peter is truly a highlight. Not to forget the younger Aunt May played by the talented Marisa Tomei. Last but not the least is the cameo by Mr. Robert Downey Jr. as Stark / Iron-Man that adds more to this reboot.
If one is expecting a lot of noise and drama like the previous Spidey films, you'll be underwhelmed and this is why this film scores more because it keeps things simple, focuses mainly on the emotions of a teenage protagonist and everything a teenager goes through when in high school. The manner in which Tom Holland brings a lot of freshness to the character is incredible. There is no melodrama, no tears and its a light film where one walks out of the theatre hoping to see more of this new Spidey in next year's Avengers film.
P.S. - The new Spider-Man suit is much more enhanced and has a lot more to offer which is truly hillarious when Peter experiments with it. The post credits scene is something that is extremely well done.
7.5/10
