'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (2017)

Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Director: Jon Watts
Writers: Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley, Jon Watts, and etc.
Editors: Debbie Berman and Dan Lebenetal
Rated: PG-13

Taken place after Civil War, Peter Parker tries to prove to Tony Stark that he is capable of bigger things as Spider-Man, while trying to deal with being an ordinary high school student.

Tom Holland did a great job portraying a 15-year-old kid wanting something better in his life.  Everyone had felt the same way as Peter Parker in wanting something better in his life. After the high of battling other Super Heroes, Peter wants more of that adrenaline.  Peter realizes that if the Avengers won’t contact him, he will put matter in his own hand and take down a group with weird weapons and a huge Falcon bad guy.
Michael Keaton’s character as the antagonist was relatable, and you can understand and also sympathize with his character as he does what he does for his family.  I thoroughly enjoyed his origin story about how Blue collar workers, specifically Construction workers, rely on projects for paycheck to survive and for family.  He has a nice character development in the end of the film.
Spider-Man: Homecoming, a nice coming of age film and shows Peter Parker’s Black and White world of villains while making sure everybody is safe. Peter’s thought process is similar to Wonder Woman in how justice was a simple thought, but learn the complexity of human beings.  There was great dialogue in the movie. While I was watching the film in theater, there’s a scene where Peter’s best friend, Ned is in the library. A teacher catches him and he makes an excuse; that excuse caused everyone to laugh in the theater, but there was one guy who laugh so hard and couldn’t control himself so he laughed into the next scene where it was suppose to be more serious. It was funny though~

SPOILERS MAYBE:
Towards the end, when Spiderman fights the Falcon Guy, the building falls on him and Spiderman is stuck underneath heavy concrete and you can see blood through his mask. As Peter screams for help, you see the real terror and fear that Peter is going through. Through out the film, he hears how he could have died during certain battles, and Peter casually dismisses it. Peter doesn’t really recognize the risk till the boat scene where things went out of his control.  When he sees his reflection with the Spiderman mask, he realizes that in order to protect innocent people he needs to be able to get himself out of bad situations. Basically, if he can’t be his own hero, how can he be one to everyone else.
SPOILERS MAYBE ENDED

The editing was normal, nothing really stood out, but some scenes slighter bothered me.  During those scenes, there would be a Close up shot, cut to a Wide shot, then to a new scene.  The cut from the Wide shot to a new shot was so quick you can’t really see what was happening in that shot.
The acting was great, and I really enjoyed Zendaya’s characters comment through out the film. I was excited to see the Bell Boy from ‘The Grand Budapest’ in the film.  Peter Parker was a relatable character in not really fitting in with a whole lot of people. It was enjoyable to see all the cameos of characters from previous Avenger movies like Captain America.
I was a bit skeptical in watching this film.  I grew up with the Animation Spider-Man and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, so I know the basic information of the hero.  I haven’t watch Andrew Garfield’s Spiderman since I mostly watch film if I enjoy the trailer.  The trailers are usually the main factor in wanting to see a film and the trailer for Andrew Garfield’s Spider-man didn’t really spark that much interest.  Seeing ‘Spiderman: Homecoming’ wasn’t really my main agenda, but my friends really wanted to watch it, so I kind of gave in the peer pressure hehe~ It was a good thing though, I really enjoyed the film.
