Spider-Man: Homecoming, the web-slinger’s first solo movie under the Marvel Studios umbrella (but produced in conjunction with distributor Sony Pictures), is a sweet, witty, briskly-paced romp that captures everything that has made Peter Parker and his costumed alter ego such a lovable and enduring character for over half a century.
The core dilemma Spider-Man has always grappled with is, of course, “with great power comes great responsibility.” But as the events of Spider-Man: Homecoming show, Peter Parker’s responsibilities aren't just related to being Spider-Man. He has a responsibility to be a good student, to let his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) know where he is and if he’s okay, and to find the balance between his personal and superhero lives. In Homecoming, Peter, still consumed by the excitement of his adventure with the Avengers in Captain America: Civil War, wants nothing more than to win Tony Stark’s approval and become a full-fledged Avenger. But Peter is still just a kid and he will have to realize that he can’t let Spider-Man define who he is; as Tony admonishes him at one point, if he’s nothing without the suit then Peter doesn’t deserve to have it. Peter Parker ultimately has to matter more than the invented persona of Spider-Man.
If you weren’t already sold on him after Civil War, his turn in Homecoming proves that Tom Holland is the definitive big screen Spider-Man. His exuberance, intelligence, and good-natured manner perfectly captures Peter Parker’s youthfulness, earnestness and moral center. Peter screws up a lot, but he’s a good kid who knows when he has to set things right and Holland sells all of that. He owns every scene he’s in, never getting blown off the screen by his co-stars, which include such formidable personalities as Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Keaton.
As with the very best of the web-slinger’s Marvel stories, Spider-Man: Homecoming is a winning combination of a fun superhero adventure tale with a heartwarming story about a regular kid dealing with some very relatable issues (well, relatable in the non-superhero sense anyway). Tom Holland’s Spidey can’t swing back onto screens again fast enough.
Diverse, entertaining reboot has some language, violence. Read Common Sense Media's Spider-Man: Homecoming review, age rating, and parents guide.
