How not to get excited about Spider-man's return home? Of all the universes created by this character, the one I love the most is this one, because of the great adventure of a young man who wants to use his powers to help humanity and for not returning it to the typical Spiderman who murders his uncle, which is the story that we already know, in addition to the mix of humor it has.

Marvel brings this superhero back in a more creative way, for me more to the daily life of a teenager who has to deal with his hormones and his classmates. Adapting to the cinema of John Huges: institutes, losers, queen of the dance and team of science olympics.
Therefore, the return home of his superhero banner was expected, desired and in his time celebrated by fans of the character. The best way to meet expectations was to get away completely from previous visions following a method of alliteration with other genres making a trip back to the true nature of the spiderman.
I think one of the best adaptations that Spider-man could make is the presence of Robert Downey Jr. as a mentor, which is very well managed by the libretto so that Tony Stark's presence is felt but without any moment overshadow Peter Parker. This is his film and the only one who can make some shade is Vulture, the villain played by an impeccable Michael Keaton.

Marvel this time gives the villain enough depth to understand what he is doing, thus giving him a different background than what we are used to. Keaton is very grateful for that and at all times nails his performance, both when it has to be scary and when he has to show that he is still someone who is watching over the good of his family. Not everything is black or white with him and that gives a lot of play.
This creates a different dynamic that allows us to show another point of view of the character, better fitting the fact that he is a misfit in the institute and also having a very different relationship to what we were used to with the Aunt. Enhancing that freshness is one of the greatest successes of Jon Watts' staging work.
In addition, ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ is very well planned to progressively go further, something that even finds support with the action scenes themselves, where more and more seems to be at stake. He even manages to avoid the dreaded exhaustion from the excess of fireworks in the final showdown, here very well resolved. Again, the Vulture's own peculiarities are key to this and I could not be more satisfied with the result.
The point is that 'Spider-man: Homecoming' is a movie that bets everything on the fun, passing its footage so fast that not only do you want to see the sequel right now, but you would even see it again delighted immediately . That was the feeling that was left for me, so the fact that it is still a piece within something bigger is something that does not bother me, because in reality there is nothing that the movie does wrong.
In short, ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ is one of my favorite movies, it should be noted that Holland is unbeatable, Keaton is a great villain and the dynamics with the rest of the characters work great. In addition, it nails the desired tone and know how to handle the need to entertain the viewer with the fact that there is something really at stake.
