FAVORITE QUOTES
Peter Parker: “So, to become an Avenger, are there like trials or an interview?”
Tony Stark: “You just don’t do anything I would do… and definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. There’s a little gray area in there and that’s where you operate.”
Tony Stark: “Can’t you just be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?”
Peter Parker: “I’m nothing without the suit!”
Tony Stark: “If you’re nothing without the suit, then you shouldn’t have it.”
CONCLUSSION
The 2002 reboot of the Spider-Man movie franchise , staring Tobey Maguire, has always been my favorite, so I was not expecting much from this one. I was pleasantly surprised with ‘Homecoming’ , it was simply amazing!! The movie had a fresh take on the spider-man character.
Spider-Man: Homecoming works as both a hilarious high school comedy/drama and a strong standalone superhero movie. We watch the young Peter Parker navigate his way from an inexperienced kid trying to be a hero into the “friendly neibourhood spider-man” we all know and love . While at the same time steering through junior high school as a socially awkward teenager.
Peter Parker’s “mentor” Tony Start(Iron Man) was great in the movie . Thankfully Homecoming keeps the spotlight fixed firmly on Peter and he is not overshadowed by Iron Man. Micheal Keaton expertly portrayed the villain Adrian Toomes/Vulture. His character was developed nicely as we got to see how and why he became a villain.
The only drawback about ‘Homecoming’ is that, whereas it is a fun-filled-hilarious-thrill-ride, it lacks the depth and emotional connection that the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies had.
This is a movie that both die-hard Marvel superhero fans and casual moviegoers will thoroughly enjoy!
