Silver Screen in 2017 {Spider-Man: Homecoming}


So three years after the Andrew Garfield two Amazing Spider-Man films, we're back! With the franchise being revisited for the third time since 2002.

Tobey Macguire and James Franco kicked it off it the early 2000's and now we have young Tom Holland as a high school Spider-Man introduced in the last Captain America film.



So we had a bit of the back story in the last Captain America film so it's no surprise he is back in this film via videos at Peter Parkers school.

However as the Marvel world interweaves we see Iron Man join this film and so many Avenger references it's almost like a 133 minute promo piece for the next Avengers film.

Donald Glover AKA Mr Childish Gambino has a small role which is nice, Michael Keaton almost reprises his award winning role as the Bird Man and Marisa Tomei plays Peter Parkers aunt.

This Spider-Man has been well reviewed and a sequel is coming this time in 2019, he will also join the next Avengers film.

It's not perfect but it's not bad. Marvel has done well in the past, and it's future with a new Thor film, Black Panther and said Avengers film looks to keep them leaps and bounds ahead of DC.

I wasn't 100% sold on Tom Holland as a hero, I mean he is 21 in real life but checking out a "15" year olds abbs feels a little wrong.

It's not a game changer for the superhero film but it's a decent film, 3 Stars.
