Finished watching Spider-Man: Homecoming, directed by John Watts and starring Michael Keaton, Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr, Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Logan Marshall-Green, Bokeem Woodbine and Jennifer Connelly. The film opens shortly after the end of the first Avengers film as Damage Control arrives to relieve Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) and his crew from the area even though that got the contact to clean up the mess of the battle. Angered by this Toomes and his associates begin to use the tech that they already have in their possession on to make weapons and supply them to lower rate criminals. The film then jumps a few years as Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is making a video with his phone which shows the events of Captain America: Civil War from his perspective. When Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) takes Peter home Tony gives him Happy's (Jon Favreau) phone number in case of emergencies and if either one needs the other. Two months later Peter is in the middle of school still waiting for a call from Tony Stark and has impatiently called Happy every day in hope that the Avengers might need him. After an evening of helping people, Peter comes home through his bedroom window only to find his friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) waiting for him and inadvertently finds out that he's Spider-Man. Later at school Peter and Ned are invited to the house party of their friend Liz (Laura Harrier) with the promise of Spider-Man appearing only for Peter to skip the party when he notices Jackson Brice (Logan Marshall-Green) and Herman Schultz (Bokeem Woodbine) trying to make a deal with some weapons which leads to Spider-Man and the Vulture meeting and leading to Peter to star investigating who the Vulture is. Overall this was a great film as it brings Spider-Man and his wider supporting cast into Marvel's cinematic universe by staying very fresh as even though this is the sixth Spider-Man film and the third incarnation of the character within film, the team behind it is able to make a great film without the baggage of the previous ones holding it back. There is a great amount of comedy weaved throughout the film from the multiple interactions that Peter has with Ned as well as his suits AI Karen (Jennifer Connelly) which also leads to some interesting action scenes with how Peter discovers more functions of his suit. Surprisingly for the little that Tony Stark is in the film he gets some great character development with how he is as a mentor to Peter and where he is as a person at the end of the film. 8.5/10.
