    For everyone that was worried or had reservations about this film let me ease for fears. Spider-Man is back. Tom Holland was perfection as Peter and Spider-Man. He was able to not only capture the innocence and youth of Peter but, also the struggle of becoming an established hero. The film also captures the humor of Spider-Man that has missing is the past few Spider-Man films. This film feels like high school, with a modern John Hughes feels, and for anyone that is worried that Spider-Man: Homecoming is "Iron Man 4," don't be afraid. Tony Stark is beautifully used and doesn't overshadow and steal the spotlight from Spider-Man. Micheal Keaton gave a villain that was complex and was relatable. You completely understood his motivations and could even empathize with him. As The Vulture, he was terrifying and formidable and as Adrian Toomes, he had an intensity and desperation about him that was just as if not more frightening than his suit.

    Spider-Man: Homecoming is an origin story wrapped in a coming of age story that feels fresh even though this is the third time we've seen Spider-Man's beginning. Tom Holland was note-perfect as Peter Parker and as Spider-Man and Michael Keaton gave us the best villain in the MCU I'd daresay this side of Loki. All in all, Spider-Man: Homecoming is a fun film with flaws so minor most casual movie-goers and fans won't even notice.
