Critic Consensus:

: Spider-Man: Homecoming does whatever a second reboot can, delivering a colorful, fun adventure that fits snugly in the sprawling MCU without getting bogged down in franchise-building..

The magic of Homecoming is that it belongs more to the John Hughes cinematic universe than the Avengers'.

One of the very best Marvel Cinematic Universe films, and one of the best films of the year

Marvel has had a longstanding problem with its villains, each less compelling than the last, but the film’s handling of Vulture is one of its many masterstrokes. He’s given depth, humanity and moral ambiguity, a working-class grafter up against what he sees as Tony Stark’s careless elite. Civil War’s smartest idea was examining the damaging effect that the Avengers had on the world around them, and that theme is nicely built on here, class warfare serving as a subtle subtext to the film’s more literal conflicts.

News Flash: Tom Holland is the best movie Spider-Man ever. He finds the kid inside the famous red onesie and brings out the kid in even the most hardened filmgoer.

Most impressive is that it's a blast to watch, harkening back to the sugar rush that accompanied flipping through Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's earliest comic adventures .

Feels a little more punchy, laugh-filled, and exciting than one might expect from a property that's already been given plenty of chances to succeed.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is smart, incredibly funny and surprisingly clever. It is an entirely unexpected - perhaps even vanishingly implausible - fresh start for the third Spider-Man franchise of the past fifteen years.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is an enchanting reminder why we ever hid comic books under our bed in the first place.

http://collider.com/spider-man-homecoming-review/

While the Marvel Netflix series have touted their identity as “street-level heroes,” the Spider-Man of Spider-Man: Homecoming feels like a better realization of that promise. He’s still got superpowers, and he’s working against a powerful villain that can wreak havoc, but Watts always wants us to know that this Spider-Man lives among us. He’s not a billionaire or a demigod or a super soldier. He has superpowers, but he’s also visiting his local bodega and swinging through the suburbs. Homecoming is a movie that emphasizes the “neighborhood” part of “friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.”.

http://www.nj.com/entertainment/ind..._homecoming_review_spidey_comes_back_str.html

A funny, sunny superhero movie for the whole family.

http://www.slashfilm.com/spider-man-homecoming-review/

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a franchise reboot done right. Thanks to an extraordinary performance from Tom Holland, an authentic portrayal of high school life that would make John Hughes proud, some surprises that have thankfully been kept secret for the most part, and a larger sandbox for Spidey to crawl around in and some impressive action, Spider-Man is amazing once again.

9/10

The more I think about SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, the more I appreciate and adore it. It's definitely in the top echelon of Marvel movies, up there with the first GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, which might be my two favorite superhero movies of all time. I've only seen it once, this is true, but even after one viewing it's pretty hard to walk away from HOMECOMING not thinking you've just seen the most ideal big-screen take on Spidey yet, and one of the best examples of the genre, period.

9/10

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...newstopstories

The magic of Homecoming is that it belongs more to the John Hughes cinematic universe than the Avengers’. It cleverly references other Marvel films and even iconic scenes from previous Spider-jams, and right when it needs to, the story tosses out a big twist that ups the emotional stakes for Peter and brings his student and superhero lives crashing down on him.

Will wait for home release. Setting isn't grabbing me at all, sadly. Maybe I will change my mind, it's out in mid July over here.

 

[PR_rambo]

Ewwww its fun EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[Ahasverus]

The best word to describe Spider-Man: Homecoming is “fun.” It’s a joyous, effervescent picture that may not have the thematic heft of darker pictures like Logan and The Dark Knight, but nevertheless forges its own identity within the confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a hefty helping of the MCU’s primary virtue: humor.

So it's another empty vanilla ass Marvel film. Thanks for letting me know.

It's fuckin' Spider-Man dude not some auteur indy film.

I do too. Just taking the piss, haha.

And what about SS? That was fun too.

David Ehrlich gave it a B.

This is getting interesting.

"It doesn't have dramatic worth, or a great story, or is remarkable in any sense.. but it's FUN, like, it has HUMOR which is so UNIQUE, 9/10 the future of super hero movies".

Give me a break. Spider-Man is one of those characters that have like lots of material to take inspiration from to make a legit great story, be it on high school or adult setting, you name it. But Disney genericness knows no bounds.

I'd rather have another Sony movie.

And sadly it didn't prove me wrong.

 

[black070]

It was ?

 

[Inferno313]

"Fun" in the same way that getting a tooth pulled is.

 

[Theecliff]

Ewwww its fun EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

it's kinda ridiculous that i've seen people try to twist 'fun' into a pejorative, especially in conjunction with a fucking spider-man movie. spider-man ought to be fun.

 

[Discotheque]

David Ehrlichs review has me both more excited for this movie than I was before but also with fairly tempered expectations.

It sounds like the high school/Parker aspect of it is real good though which I'm looking forward to.

 

[Byakuya769]

So "fun," "entertaining" and "joyous," but absent any commentary on the deep state or the political crises of the day? Pass.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

IDK man, I had a lot of fun with WW and I consider it a fun movie.

That's the funny part about that word being some negative. Most any good movie is fun. The Dark Knight trilogy was fun.

And what about SS? That was fun too.

SS was the "hey, fellow kids" of movies trying to be fun.

Ergo, it didn't work.

 

[SpaceWolf]

What is the signficance of this? Unusually low or unusually high?

 

[PR_rambo]

Sounds like Vulture is the GOAT MCU Villain, excellent, attaboy birdman

Ehrlich is a great critic, one of my faves, but damn does he hate tentpoles and superhero flicks.

 

[jmood88]

lol this guy. Just make sure you don't get worked up and start attacking people again.

 

[Toa TAK]

David Ehrlich's review pretty much confirms my expectations for this film. Cool. Gonna be a long wait.

 

[jon bones]

I will be periodically updating through the workday - how do I make sure the RT gets updated in the title? PM a mod?

Boom

Ehrlich is a good reviewer who can be discerning when it comes to the MCU, although he's liked the last few.

Scott Mendelson is the real final boss.

The less you get what you want, the more I get what I want.

So obviously this movie will be fantastic.

Ok, now what's your reaction to this one:

The best word to describe Wonder Woman is “fun.” It’s a joyous, effervescent picture that may not have the thematic heft of darker pictures like Logan and The Dark Knight, but nevertheless forges its own identity within the confines of the DC Extended Universe
