Spider-Man: Homecoming

Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker, with the help of his mentor Tony Stark, tries to balance his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens, New York City, with fighting crime as his superhero alter ego Spider-Man as a new threat, the Vulture, emerges.
What critics thought
Most critics found this MCU-integrated reboot charming and refreshing, with Tom Holland's younger, more grounded Peter Parker and Michael Keaton's Vulture drawing particular praise — the twist connecting their characters was widely cited as a highlight. Where critics diverged was on the franchise machinery underneath: some felt the high-school coming-of-age focus was exactly what the character needed, while others found the MCU scaffolding deadening, the female characters underwritten, and the action sequences less than thrilling.
“the kind of movie you leave and you're just in the best mood—and still will be days later.”
Mike Ryan·Uproxx
“occasionally exciting but often frustrating”
John DeFore·The Hollywood Reporter
“a little of the new Spider-Man went an exhilaratingly long way in Captain America: Civil War last year. But a lot of him goes almost nowhere in this slack and spiritless solo escapade.”
Robbie Collin·The Telegraph
“pretty good Spider-Man movie”
San Francisco Chronicle
“the flying action has a casual flip buoyancy, and the movie does get you rooting for Peter.”
