Alright, I'm very far behind (nearly 2 months), so most of these reviews will be short.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is the first Spider-Man film in the MCU, and finds Peter Parker (Tom Holland) juggling school life and becoming a better superhero.
Homecoming is fun to watch. It isn't a great film, it certainly has its problems, but it will pass the two hours well. Holland is wonderful as Parker/Spider-Man, and his interactions with his friend Ned, and Happy Hogan (who is in the film much more than Tony Stark) are very enjoyable. Michael Keaton's Vulture is also one of the better villains in recent superhero movies. There is a turning point which was actually unexpected, and works in building tension.
However, there are a few moments in the film that rather peeved me. These were mostly decisions made about characters, some of which were fan service by producers who don't know what fan service is, and the final shot in particular. If they had the confidence to go through with the dialogue, I wouldn't have been so irritated by it. Oh... and there's also too much villain setup.
In short: Spider-Man: Homecoming is a safe, enjoyable addition to the Marvel canon.
