I couldnt stand Peter Parker in this movie. They go way too overboard with his whole put-upon wholesome teenager gag. I half-expected him to go GOSH at any moment. But I really like the Vulture, so eh?

The MCU has been largely (shockingly) consistent in its casting choices the whole way through, but Tom Holland might be one of my favorites. In my opinion he fits both Peter Parker (as a high schooler) and Spider-Man perfectly, way more than his previous two counterparts did. He might be starting to get a little overexposed as an actor at this point, but based on interviews he seems to be super enthusiastic about the role so hopefully Sony and Disney can keep him for a long time.
As for the movie itself, its pretty good! The main reason it got this high is the reveal on prom night. Everything about that entire sequence was so well crafted that it really sucks you in in a way that bigger, action-ier surprises really cant. Michael Keaton is great for the whole movie of course but especially in that long car drive, when everyone is just waiting to see what happens. The final battle with Vulture and the plots reliance on Tony Starks involvement are detriments but, well, those two problems are nothing new for the MCU.

I guess its probably a tired talking point by now to say that Maguire was a good Peter Parker, Garfield was a good Spider-Man, and Holland is good for both, but it really is true. Now, that being said, Ive never been an especially big fan of the character, which I imagine is going to put me well below the average ranking for both of the SM entries in the franchise. I also, as a rule, dont care for high school as a setting very much (Im the only person I know that didnt like Freaks and Geeks). Those are personal hangups, though - I can recognize why everyone rates Homecoming so high. It does a fantastic job with the central conflicts of Peter Parker as a character, its got the best villain in the whole MCU outside of Thanos, its got Tony Stark for some extra charisma and star power, and its even pretty damn funny. So dont misunderstand me; were well into the section of my list where I can honestly say I love these movies a good deal. Were just also at the point where everything above this one has more personal resonance for me.

This one has slowly grown on me over time. I definitely prefer the sequel, but Tom Holland's Spider-Man is so innately charismatic (with great chemistry with the rest of the supporting cast at the high school), Marisa Tomei such an inspired choice for a different Aunt May, and Michael Keaton is so good as the villain, that I can't help but admire it.

This movie does a good job of creating a relatively down to earth spider-man movie. He is just another kid in school, and him having to deal with a lot of that regular ordinary day stuff is well done. It's Spider-Man's first solo film in the universe, and it is the only one that has to deal with any significant pressure from films before it. All in all, it is solid and holds up well.

Strength of the acting really pulls this one ahead. Keaton is low-key awesome as vulture (he's SO THREATENING in the car scene) and ends up being one of the best villains in the MCU, and I really think all the acting is good here. I've heard there is too much Iron Man in this movie as a complaint and yeah maybe it kind of is a valid one but I ain't gonna complain about more Tony Stark and it makes this Spider-Man unique compared to the other ones we've seen on the screen. The plot is whatever but helps establish Spider-Man's personality and whatnot and doesn't drag. Not what I'd call absolute must see viewing but enjoyable.
