Spider-Man Homecoming

I wasn't sure what to expect of this latest Spider-Man reboot.  When I saw in the opening that it was still under Sony, I lowered my expectations.  I was surprised that this movie was really great, despite some of the negative reviews I was seeing about it.

It was a great modern retelling of a classic story.  The multi-cultural cast was interesting, but not knowing the ethnic makeup of people in New York, I couldn't tell if it was trying too hard to be modern, or if it was an accurate portrayal of who Peter Parker's friends would be in real life.

The movie wasn't a super traditional Marvel type blockbuster.  The fight scenes were good, and the CGI was virtually undetectable.  I liked that more of the action scenes revolved around saving people, rather than fighting the main villain - the Vulture.

I thought the plot was a great coming of age superhero story, something that's lacking in recent Marvel movies, and really made you feel the youth of Peter Parker.

I would say this was my favorite Spider-Man movie yet, and quite possibly one of my favorite movies of the past few years.
