SPIDER-MAN HOMECOMING (2017)
Featuring: Tom Holland; Michael Keaton; Robert Downey Jr
Director: Jon Watts
The mere fact that in a span of a decade and a half three film versions of Spider-Man were made goes to show just how popular this particular comic superhero is. And that, apparently, applies to 'children' of all ages - young and old...
We already briefly met this Peter Parker/Spider-Man derivative (portrayed here by Tom Holland) in Captain America: Civil War (2016) where he was introduced to the Avengers by Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr). In Spider-Man Homecoming, though, we get to see how the teen hero has to come to grips with his newfound fame and abilities and how that further complicates his already complicated teenage life. At the same time he desperately tries to prove that he is worthy of becoming a full-fledged member of the Avengers team.
Now, on merits, both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were good in their rolls as Spider-Man. But Tom Holland simply is Spider-Man. Period. This young British actor completely embodies the essence and energy of the original comic book character. And that is not just my opinion - that is what the creator of Spider-Man, Stan Lee himself, is saying. Incidentally, if you wonder where you saw Tom Holland before: he was one of the two boys that appeared with Ewan Mcgregor and Naomi Watts in The Impossible (2012)
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
