Spider-Man: Homecoming Reviews

Really enjoyed the first two films, both contained great scenes/action, acting and the two best villains of the films. Was mixed on the third film, which wasn't that bad but suffered mainly from bloat, and was not totally sold on the 'Amazing Spider-Man' films.

Whether 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' is the best 'Spider-Man' film ever is debatable, some may prefer the first two films, others may prefer this. To me, it is the best 'Spider-Man' film since the second and on par with the first two. It may not have taken as many risks or had sequences/action as memorable as the first two films, and for more of an origin story it's best to stick with the first two films. For a fresh twist on 'Spider-Man' and the superhero genre, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (one of Marvel's best to date) more than fits the bill.

'Spider-Man: Homecoming' is not quite the masterpiece as proclaimed to me and maybe not quite as good as the acclaim, but personally can totally see why it is loved so much and that it deserves all the positivity it's received. It has a couple of faults, Liz is a bland and underwritten character and Laura Harrier does nothing with the character. Flash also could have been much more intimidating in demeanour and physicality, for a bully one is not intimidated, pretty anaemic actually and even annoying at times.

Much more could have been done with Spider-Man's powers and how he got around, they could have been better used, being not used enough, and of better quality.

However, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' looks great. Slick, stylish with bold, atmospheric use of colour and mostly top-notch special effects. Michael Giacchino pens yet another winner of a music score, both rousing and hypnotic with also an intensity and emotional undercurrent.

It's a remarkably well scripted film too. It has some hilarious and rarely forced humour (namely from Ned and Michelle, both of whom should have been annoying but were refreshing scene-stealing comic relief), poignancy and tension. The story works well as a superhero story, with great chemistry between Peter and Tony Stark and a terrific scene in a car with our hero and Vulture, and even more so as an affectionate and easy to relate to coming of age and trying-to-fit-in story. The action is kept at minimum but what there is is fun and suspenseful, even if there were sequences and climaxes more memorable in the first two films.

A risk was taken having Jon Watts in the director's chair, but luckily inexperience doesn't show, there is a great sense of visual style and momentum is kept taut. A great cast also helps, with Tom Holland doing a wonderful job in the complex dual role, both roles are easy to relate to and he differentiates the two personalities of nerdy, awkward high school deadline and charismatic head-line-making superhero with remarkable ease.

Michael Keaton, fresh from giving two of his best performances in years in 'Birdman' and 'Spotlight', is also superb as Vulture, a refreshingly different and more complex villain than most Marvel villains, a menacing villain but with a humane side with a far less generic motivation than one would find in other Marvel films and doesn't feel underused. A villain that one is intimidated by but also feel sorry for. Marissa Tomei seemed bizarre casting on paper but she is very charming actually and fits well.

Robert Downey Jnr brings charismatic intensity and authority to Tony Stark, Jon Favreau is fun while Jacob Batalon and Zendaya are refreshing comic relief.

Overall, very good, often great and very nearly outstanding (which it would have been if more care was given to a few of the supporting characters). 8/10 Bethany Cox

Not the best spiderman movie,
I've seen better then this spiderman, maybe my opinion but I've expected better.

I know it might sound crazy, but this second reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise may emerge as the best single Spider-Man movie yet. A large part of the reason this one is so successful is how scaled down it is. There’s no third-act falling debris or blue light causing mass destruction found here, instead these characters live on the fringe of the major heroics and occupy a single neighborhood. Spider-Man: Homecoming is something of a double-meaning title, not only does it take place during that high school ritual, but Marvel’s finally got its hands (sorta) back on the property after selling it off to Sony during its financially troubled 90’s.

 

His first appearance in Captain America: Civil War was a welcome home, and a general sense that we were finally getting a completely successful version of the character on the big screen. Tom Holland’s overly-eager and squeaky voiced teenaged Peter Parker was a recognizable nerd that wanted to play with the big leagues and do the right thing, even if he didn’t always know what that meant. Holland’s utter perfection in the role, sliding as comfortably into the tights as successfully as Christopher Reeve slipped into Superman or Tom Hiddleston into Loki.

 

This scaled back ambition is refreshing as it means that Homecoming is primarily a high-school movie about a superhero and less about a “the world’s going to end unless I stop the thing” event. It feels like a self-sustaining franchise that flirts with the wider world of the MCU, but isn’t just another cog into that behemoth’s massive machine. If you ever wondered what a John Hughes superhero movie would look like, then look no further as this frequently plays like The Breakfast Club-gets-superpowers.

 

Of course the laid-back groove of the film will not sustain the entire duration, and it must eventually succumb to the rigid delineations of its genre’s demands. Michael Keaton makes the Vulture into a memorable arms-dealer that’s flooding the neighborhood with alien gadgets and pilfered technology left behind by the bigger battles with the marquee heroes, but his battles with Spider-Man are still strangely bloodless. The best confrontation between hero and villain is a civilian garb one that takes place in a car as it allows the two talented actors to engage in a back-and-forth that’s tense and clearly establishing stakes both emotional and physical. There's also quick appearances from two different Shockers and the Tinkerer in Keaton's gang and cameos from the future Scorpion and Prowler, because there's no escaping world-building in these things.

 

Even worse is how stacked the cast is with supremely talented comedic actors who are left with little to do. It’s a treat to see Martin Starr play the other side after gaining fame from Freaks and Geeks, but he’s a bit wasted as a teacher that mainly has to fret about his students. He gets a great gag with Zendaya, so there’s at least that. While Donald Glover and Hannibal Buress get a few great gags and one-liners in before being escorted away. They bring a tremendous energy to the film that it never properly harnesses into something better. Marisa Tomei fares much better as Aunt May, but she is also sidelined far too much. The woman won an Oscar for a comedic role; give her more to do damnit! She does get a great final scene though, one that gave me the biggest laugh in the entire film.  

 

Homecoming should still be celebrated for managing to eschew the bog of franchise building that still sinks, or at least undermines, other films in the MCU. It points towards a brave new world for superhero cinema, one where it can manage to be something else instead of just a paint-by-numbers template origin story or grim-dark brood-fest clash between overly powered people causing massive amounts of collateral damage. Call me crazy, but I wanted more of the first half’s high-energy soundtrack and teenage handouts, and less of the overly long feeling second half where the rectors of the genre demanded their blood sacrifice. Still, with Holland leading the charge, I’m really excited to see where this version of the Spider-Man franchise is going to go.

Notes: Before I begin, I must clarify that this review would have some spoilers in order to make a point. So, if you haven't seen the film yet and you are afraid of spoilers, please do not continue reading.

So, I Recently watched the new Spider-Man film......again, and like the last reboot it's basically a Spider-Man for young teenagers. Only difference it’s TRULY amazing.

To start with, one of the first things that it did right was Peter Parker/Spider-Man, unlike the Andrew Garfield version who was an asshole and a clown that doesnt learn about his mistakes thoguth the movie, this version feels a little bit more human, by focus on showing a more naive vision of Peter and how has to balance his superhero life with his normal life, stuff like being a good student at school, keeping friends, trying to conquer the girl that he loves, but also trying to gain more recognition as a superhero . Making this not only a Superhero movie, but also a Coming of age story (not spectacularly like the Sam Raimi's Triology was, but still it was satisfactory). On side of the secondary cast, there is not much to complain, most of them are hilarious and serve a propose to the story, except the love interest which is bland as hell (making the romantic relationship mediocre, since there not share a lot of time screen and by the end on the movie is resolved in a forced way) and Aunt May (which does not do much in history), but aside from that, there are mostly a well made cast.

Another positive is the main villian Vulture/Adrian Toomes,who is actually a pretty good villian. One of the problems of the MCU movies are the villains, they are mostly very simplistic and have they objetive are mostly "Take over the world" o "Kill the hero, because he fuck up my life", but not this time. Vulture has reasonably and human motives to do what it does, being just a normal worker/father who lost this job due to Damage Control, and becames a terrorist in order to keep his family and this fellow co-workers from poverty, kinda like Zemo in the Captain America Civil War movie which was also a very human caracther.

Also, I liked who this time is not another "Origin Story". Yes, there are the mention of stuff like the spider, "with great power comes great responsability" and all that, but it not the main focus of the film, this makes the movie feel a little bit more refresing instead of a rehash of the same stuff we seen other times before. Although the main story is a little bit simplistic (been only about Peter discovering and triyng to stop the Vulture) is move in a very organic way and its well paced (not to fast to feel the plot is moving only by conviniencies, and not to slow to feel the thing bore and dull).

For the techincal aspects, it was also pretty well done: Good special effects, Great acting for most of the caracthers, good action scenes, and a kickass soundtrack that gives the feel teenage movies from 80s/90s.

On negative side of things, some of the jokes can feel "Inmerssion Breaking" for the way the contrast with some dramatic/serious moments, some of the secondary characters don't stand out a lot like I mention before, and the directing is just competent since it doesnt stand out except for the fight scenes.

So as a whole, is not as great as the Raimi movies and its far for been the best MCU movie until now, but still shines on its own as a good re-intepretation of the arachanid.

The Amazing Spider-man is the boring dull version of Spider-Man, whereas Homecoming is the funnier more modern version, and I loved it.

Final Score: 7/10

Notas: Antes de comenzar, debo aclarar que esta reseña tendría algunos spoilers con el fin de hacer un punto. Por lo tanto, si aún no has visto la película y tienes miedo de spoilers, por favor no sigas leyendo.

Así que recientemente vi la nueva película de Spider-Man........ de nuevo, y como el último reinicio es básicamente un Spider-Man para jóvenes adolescentes. La única diferencia es VERDADERAMENTE asombro esta vez.

Para empezar, una de las primeras cosas que hizo bien fue Peter Parker/Spider-Man, a diferencia de la versión de Andrew Garfield que era un idiota y un payaso que no aprende de sus errores en la película, esta versión se siente un poco más humano, centrándose en mostrar una visión más ingenua de Peter y cómo tiene que equilibrar su vida de superhéroe con su vida normal, cosas como ser un buen estudiante en la escuela, mantener a sus amigos, tratando de conquistar a la chica que ama, pero también tratando de ganar más reconocimiento como un superhéroe. Haciendo esto no sólo una película de Superhéroe, sino también una historia de crecimiento (no lo hace espectacularmente como la Triología de Sam Raimi lo hizo, pero aún así fue satisfactoria). En el lado del elenco secundario, no hay mucho que quejarse, la mayoría son hilarantes y sirven una propuesta a la historia, excepto el interés amoroso que es blando como el carajo (haciendo que la relación romántica mediocre, ya que no comparte un montón de tiempo en pantalla al no ser el foco principal y al final en la película se resuelve de una manera forzada) y tía May (que no hace mucho en la historia), pero aparte de eso, hay en su mayoría un reparto bien hecho.

Otro aspecto positivo es el villano principal Buitre/Adrian Toomes, que en realidad es un villano muy bueno. Uno de los problemas de las películas del UCM son los villanos, son en su mayoría muy simplistas y tienen como objetivo son en su mayoría "Conquistar el mundo" o "Matar al héroe, porque él arruino mi vida", pero no esta vez. El buitre tiene motivos razonables y humanos para hacer lo que hace, siendo sólo un trabajador/padre normal que perdió este trabajo debido al grupo de "Control de Daños" de Tony Stark, y se convierte en un terrorista para mantener a su familia y este compañero de trabajo de la pobreza. Algo parecido a Zemo en la película de Captain America: Civil War quien también era un villano bastante humano.

Además, me gustó que esta vez no es otra "Historia de Origen". Sí, hay la mención de cosas como la araña, "con gran poder viene una gran responsabilidad" y todo eso, pero no es el foco principal de la película, esto hace que la película se sienta un poco más refrescante en lugar de un refrito desinspirado de la lo mismo que vimos otras veces antes. Aunque la historia principal es un poco simplista (sólo fue acerca de Peter descubriendo y tratando de detener al Buitre) se mueve de una manera muy orgánica y su ritmo esta bien hecho (no muy rápido para sentir la trama se mueve sólo por conveniencias, y no demasiado lento para sentir la cosa aburrida y plana).

Para los aspectos técnicos, también fue bastante bien hecho: buenos efectos especiales, gran actuación para la mayoría de los personajes, buenas escenas de acción, y una banda sonora jodedora que da la sensación de las buenas películas adolescentes de 80s/90s.

En el lado negativo de las cosas, algunas de las bromas pueden sentir "Chocantes" por la forma en que el contraste con algunos momentos dramáticos, algunos de los personajes secundarios no destacan mucho como he mencionado antes, y la dirección es sólo competente ya que no destaca excepto por las escenas de acción.

Por lo tanto, no es tan grande como las películas de Raimi y esta lejos de ser la mejor peli del UCM, pero sigue brillando por sí mismo como una buena re-interpretación del aracanido.

El Asombro Hombre Araña es la versión aburrida y noña de Spider-Man, mientras que Homecoming es la versión más divertida y moderna, y me encantó.

Nota final: 7/10

Un buen reinicio para el arácnido trepa muros, es lo que puedo decir de la nueva pelicula de Marvel, y tambien es un entretenimiento total con familiares y amigos a la vez.

Tom Holland es, a mi punto de vista, el Spider-man más cercano al original de los comics, con la personalidad que caracteriza al personaje de Peter Parker, punto (y Tobey Maguire era muy llorón, superenlo nostálgicos, aunque su segunda pelicula con el Dr. Octupus seguira siendo superior que esta nueva).

Y lo que me encanto tambien de esta nueva entrega es como se desenvuelve la nueva historia del arácnido con el universo que todos conocemos de los Vengadores de Marvel, y tambien su villano, pues claro, es el mismo actor que hizo el primer Batman en el cine, y se puede notar que esta fase 3 de Marvel estan siendo buenos villanos y más memorables que Loki.

Lo malo aqui es, como esperaba, el nuevo elenco que acompaña a Peter Parker, ya que no resultan tan memorables como lo eran las anteriores entregas, excepto del nuevo amigo de Parker, me cayo bastante bien ese gordito (yeso que yo no lo conocia de alguna parte en los comics ni en las series de tv), y a la nueva sensual Tia May. Pero lo que si no lograra superar esta nueva versión contra las de Tobey Maguire, es que carecen de ese toque dramático en las escenas de acción, y aqui si las hay y son buenisimas tambien (sobretodo la escena del barco y la del avión), pero falta eso que hace que una escena de acción sirva de ejemplo para poder verla sin parar durante las mañanas cuando uno esta desayunando con la televisión.

Pero creo que lo mejor fueron los giros argumentales que hubieron aquí, ya que da para sacar debates y teorías. Y si quieren ver la escena post-creditos más troll que la de Deadpool, quedense al final de los creditos para sentir la frustración satisfactoria (suena raro, lo se, pero es lo único que puedo describir de como me sentí en ese momento).

Esperare con ansias las próximas participaciones de este Spider-Man en la futuras peliculas de Marvel y en su secuela ya anunciada.

ฺI don't know why but Spider Man Homecoming is very boring ,cliche like I've seen this many times before, like a cheap high school movie,it could be good if it can make me laugh and have fun but it is not funny at all,truly annoying ,awkward watching,I really wish it to end (2 h 13 m ....oh!! it's too long for boredom) maybe the worst of Spider Man Franchise.
I read many good reviews so it's really disappointing to me.

I already saw this movie but since I just bought a brand new TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, unfortunately, to be honest, pretty much like 99% of the MCU instalments I have been rewatching lately, the damned thing didn’t turn out to be as amazing as I remembered. Indeed, the biggest issue was that it was too long and, on top of that, the story felt rather flat the 2nd time around. Still, even so, it remains hands-down the best Spider-Man movie I have seen so far. Eventually, even though Sony must be happy with the deal they have made, it still must be painful for them that none of the previous installment they made without the help of Marvel was so good and it is even more embarrassing that these guys managed to deliver the best Spider-Man movie directly with their very first attempt. Basically, even though like anyone else, I always thought that Spider-Man was one of the best characters in this genre, the previous movies always messed up some crucial elements. In this movie, at last, they cast an actor who wasn't reaching his 30's and the tone was just pitch-perfect. As you must know by now, this time around, they went for some high-school vibe which worked so well with this character. On top of that, even the way they added this movie into the more and more complex MCU worked well and it didn't feel forced like in many of the recent installments. Another thing that was very well done was how they managed to keep a small scale which was so refreshing following the overblown mess that they gave us in their previous movies. The only minor issue I had was that, even though Michael Keaton was solid as usual, the Vulture was not really an impressive villain, especially compared to the awesome enemies they gave us in most of the previous installments. Anyway, to conclude, even if it might not be one of the best MCU instalments out there after all, it is still pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
