This film is one of the major highlights of the Marvel Studios films and for the summer moviegoing season. For one, it impresses throughout the entirety of the film. Spectacular action sequences and hearty laughs in virtually every scene, make the film continuously enjoyable. Very memorable parts you won't want to miss.
First time Marvel film director Jon Watts, assembles a thoroughly entertaining film. While also managing to shine originality into it. Easy to follow story and some stunning plot revelations, audiences will be gasping for air.
The acting in this "MCU" installment may just be superior to all of its preceding films in the comic-book movie vault at "Marvel". Why, you ask. Well, it's because the characters have wit, heart and fundamental stability that goes into quality acting for a film.
Fairly new Spider Man, aka regular teenager Peter Parker, Tom Holland, is the heart and soul of this film. Also, you have Marisa Tomei, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Robert Downey Jr. (Reprising his Iron Man, Tony Stark) and Jacob Batalon.
There is an unbreakable connection that is felt between each character that graces the screen. Even if it isn't Holland dazzling audiences, while becoming someone relatable for adolescents.
Music curator Michael Giacchino (Jurassic World, The Incredibles) bursts into the film with similar sounds to that of his prior works.
Spider Man, Spider Man, does whatever Spider Man does. It's just so awesome to see a new and fresh look at an iconic character in a whole new light. This film reaches for new heights for films of superhero, comic book nature. That it'll be really tough for future films to be as delightful as this one.
