First Scene That Comes to Mind: Peter and Liz get dropped off at homecoming

Tobey Maguire is an amazing Peter Parker, and a decent Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield is a great Spider-Man, but not much of a Parker. Tom Holland is both in spades and blends them so perfectly together into one cohesive whole. He got an incredible introduction in Civil War, getting about ten minutes to establish his home life (Aunt May, neighborhood, science & engineering love, sense of responsibility and fears and courage) and fighting prowess (throwing down with the Avengers, and highlighting his exuberance, youth, strategic mind, and respect), and here he is months later with his new suit, being a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, dealing with school and puberty, and a yen for getting back into Avengers-style action.

I love the school environment, I love his friends, I love everything going on with Keaton's Vulture, I love the Tony Stark father figure stuff, I love Aunt May, I love the new suit, I love friendly neighborhood Peter Parker at the bodega, I love Donald Glover, I love Nacho, I love the directions and flows of different choices being made influencing how the movie progresses, I love how Vulture and Spidey are sort of mirrored in using what they find in the refuse to do what they think is right for their families and how Stark/SHIELD affects them both very differently. I think it's just a great, fun movie with an absolutely amazing retooling of the Vulture.

At least there's no debate as to which is the best and which is the worst Spider-Man movie. (It's Spider-Verse and Amazing Spider-Man 2, respectively).
P.S. Also, first Pepper Potts sighting since Iron Man 3? Four years absence? That was low-key one of the biggest in-theater surprise moments of the MCU.

Spider-Man and Tony Stark carrying a movie is going to lead to a fun time. Tom Holland does amazing as Peter Parker. Michael Keaton sells the villain well and has a bit more depth than many of the forgettable "BAD GUY SMAAAASH" Marvel villains. Well cast movie. It's Spider-Man...it's going to be good.

The okay spideman movie. Carried by Michael Keaton's performance. Easily the worst of the major spider-men.

Having the villains in Homecoming, Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Infinity War definitely renewed my waning interest in the MCU. Keaton and the Vulture's story was the start.

In the context of the web-heads cinematic canon, Homecoming does whatever it can to erase the prior three films mistakes while coming at Parker from an angle up until then unexplored in film: how he actually fits in a larger cinematic universe. And the verdict is: extremely well actually. I actually underrated this film. This is a fantastic Spider-Man joint, managing to fit in everything that makes the comics an enduring cornerstone of pop culture: high school romance & drama; side characters that are fleshed out but dont steal the show, instead informing Peters character; a simply sensational villain with Vulture and even his crew given B-listers like Tinkerer and Shocker their time to shine; and of course, tons of creative web-slinging action. Having Peter taken under Tonys wing is by far one of the most interesting dynamics in the MCU, and some may complain its having Peter just be the next Iron Man instead of his own hero, but I dont really see that at all. If anything the film does everything it can to NOT have Peter become the next Stark showing its his strength and his strength alone that wins the day. I do get kind of annoyed that these MCU Spider-Man films always have to go on field trips when New York is such a wonderful spot for a Spidey film, but I digress. If you havent seen it in a while like me, you might be surprised at how well it actually holds up as not only a great MCU film, but probably one of the best Spider-Man films too.
