Ok I know this review is kind of late and you probably have already seen a bunch of
spider-man reviews. But lots of people at RTX told me they wanted more HISHE reviews
and I don't want to let those people down! so you think this review is too
late? well too bad! I've been busy! You wanna
talk some spider-man? Then let's get to it.
Spider-man Home Coming! The spider-man movie with a title that is totally more
about finally coming to the massive cankle unicorn and not so much about the
actual homecoming dance that is in the film. Peter Parker finally has his official
standalone MCU flick and big surprise everybody loved it. It turns out Sony not
trying to build an entire cinematic universe around spider-man in two films
and just plugging him into an already well-established Cinematic Universe is
quite enjoyable! Shocking I know! I can't believe this
movie is the total crowd pleaser. hey there's Captain America I love that
guy! Hey! that underage girl mentioned sleeping with Thor! That's weird. but I
also know who Thor is. This movie is awesome I gave it two Thwips up but even
without all the Avengers tie-in homecoming has its own charm and it
still feels pretty great John Watts has directed a very fun
believable high school spider-man and Tom Holland does a fantastic job at it
he's immature he's awkward he's very much still learning how to navigate both
life and his newfound powers all while the very excellent villain Michael
Keaton is out there trying to be a human hover drone slash Chitarui Tech weapons
dealer even though the spider-man is not technically an origin story it still
feels very much a beginning for spider-man and I enjoyed it very much I
recommend you see the movie if you haven't so go check it out but I'm
betting you've already seen it so why don't we skip this don't want to say too
much stuff and get straight to the spoiler
I can't believe Gwen Stacy dies!!!
oh wait that that's a spoiler from from that other movie that was too scared to
end in a cliffhanger tragedy... sorry about that
anyway. Spoilers ahead homies! What did I like about the movie I liked the setting
I like that the story is basically what happened to Peter right after Civil War
I like that he's still a young kid in high school
not a graduating senior. Having a spider-man adventure actually in high
school and not in a corporate science lab just feels way more classic he's got
a normal high school crush he's got a goofy best friend Ned who's really funny
and likes to build Lego in his spare time I think all of the high school stuff is
great. I do feel like Tony Stark's involvement in a story it's kind of
weird post-civil war though in a way this movie is kind of all about Tony
giving a teenager an Iron Man suit with no instructions and then getting upset
with him for not knowing how to use it right all the time
Tony's all if you're nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it and
Peter's all how was I supposed to know there were life jackets in the web
settings!? He doesn't really say that exactly but that's kind of how it goes
anyway just felt a little weird to me but we just allow it because we like
Tony Stark. What was your favorite part? the Captain America videos. They were the
best. And his after credit scene about patience was probably the funniest
Marvel after credit scene they've ever done
I don't care about it!
She's attractive haha who cares. Does it matter to spider-man timeline? it
hasn't yet so let's move on
I didn't know what to expect from Donald Glover in this movie. I loved Donald Glover but
I couldn't help feel like he was in there just as a fan service to all the
people that wanted to see him as the next spider-man so on my first viewing
every time he's in the scene I just thought man Donald Glover does not look
like he cares about this role at all but then someone explained to me that his
character is actually the uncle of Miles Morales and I thought oh cool oh that is
cool that is cool I like that I'm excited to see that actually become a
later film so I think Donald Glover was great!
sounds really weird. I don't know why I'm using that voice
anyway. I like the action in this movie however the trailers spoil every scene
of action so if you've watched all the trailers you kind of can guess how the
movie is going to go so that was the biggest issue I had there I wish I had
refrained from all of the trailers to be honest it would have been nice to have
like no idea what to expect but the action was well done and the web
combination are really cool.
so Peter's suit has Jennifer Connelly's voice inside and I honestly thought if
the voice of the suit was going to be like later revealed to be Tony Stark in
disguise she kind of has that stark wit about her if you listen and since no one
was ever calling Peter about the next mission I thought Stark was totally
messing with Peter for turning off the training wheels protocol but that didn't
happen and it was actually just a total Jarvis clone kind of AI so I kind of
feel like Karen is too much like Iron Man a little I'd prefer he doesn't have
all the massive variety of web-shooter combinations but I understand that more
would be true comic fans so I can accept that
Eh...
She was OK.
That sounds really mean. I didn't really feel like her and Peter really connected
considering he's supposed to be like really into her it's just one of those
crush stories where one person says I like you and that's kind of all you've
got to go on so it didn't really surprise me when Liz turns out to be a
one-time character and says she's moving at the end but it did surprise me to
find out that Michelle is MJ the first time through and Michelle is just the
funny girl watching everything from the background but once you know she's MJ it
makes watching her from the background all the more better I really like how
they are setting everything up for later stories. What did you think about
Bird Man I mean the Vulture? Michael Keaton is totally intimidating in this
movie. It is awesome. The big twist reveal when Peters picking up Liz for
homecoming and the vulture opens the door was so good both times I saw the
film the audience just went *GASP* at that part and then the next twenty minutes was
filled with awesome tension he is totally a great villain
and that is so vital to making a great superhero movie.
For Marvel to have Spider-Man back in their hands...
but as a standalone movie I think the story is
simply Uncle Ben's mantra with great power comes great responsibility
Peter is very eager to get the ball rolling and immediately become the next
Avengers he's telling Ned I'm beyond all of this I'm going to be out of here
when Scott calls me up well everyone else around him is being like Kendrick
telling him sit down be humble
Who that kid that's thinkin he is bein like Ironman!?
sorry anyway they're all telling them stay on
the ground the deli store owner says stay in school Donald Glover tells him
you got to be better at this Peter falls over and over he knocks down fences he
crashes a car everywhere he travels as low to the ground and even though it's
really funny it shows how much Peter is not ready and still has a lot of growing
up to do on the other side the vultures motivation is from a stance that the
powerful don't ever care about the little guy something that is also very
relatable they make us eat up their scraps and
clean up their mess the wealthy just take what they want so he doesn't think
he's any worse than they are there seems to be a serious message about people of
power abusing others to get what they want
the vultures crew loses their Chitauri cleanup job at the beginning Michelle
makes comment about the Washington Monument being built by slaves Tony
takes away Peter's suit when he's not getting the results he wants. Happy even
hangs up on Ned because he doesn't care about what he has to say to him at the
time. Even the vulture threatening he'll kill everyone Peter loves is a gesture
of the big guy not caring about the little guy Peter sees all these examples
while thinking he can still handle it all himself and in the end gets a
building knocked over on it and it's not till he's covered in rubble and possibly
suffocating that he finally remembers the wise words with great power comes
great responsibility with Tony Stark if you're nothing without the suit then you
shouldn't have it and for some reason that makes him strong enough to
benchpress the building and then go and stop the vulture. Which is kind of
convenient but even though he still captures the vulture and gets his
victory what I really liked was afterward when
Peter makes the mature decision to turn down Tony's offer to upgrade and join
the Avengers at that point he knows he's not ready I
didn't expect that and I really appreciated that that's how the movie ends
because with great power comes great responsibility and even though nobody
said the line in the movie Peter got the chance to learn it and it left the door
open for another spider-man story to look forward to down the line and that's
really exciting oh and then at May figures out he's spider-man right the
last second and almost drops an f-bomb
Classic Potty Mouth May
