Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
7/10

It was OK.

Was it better than Rami's Spiderman 2 (2004)? I don't think people have very good memories... No, really not even close. Tom Holland does a good job as a young Spiderman, though I really would have liked the script and director to give him a lot more character and acting range... cause the wide-eyed earnest and nervous routine was wearing thin (thinking of the richer character depictions of Macchio/Karate Kid and McGuire/Spiderman). Finally, in the last car scene with Keaton, Holland actually was able to display another dimension to a rather one-dimensional caricature.

All the other characters were very forgettable and flat.

At least the subject matter of Spiderman Homecoming was somewhat fresh in the Superhero genre: coming of age, wanting to grow-up too fast. However, considering the amount of time dedicated to Parker's high school life, it was noticeably unengaging and inconsequential.
