[Spider-Man: Homecomingis now in theaters.
In case you missed it, here’s my review from last week.]
Vulture (Michael Keaton).
The best word to describeSpider-Man: Homecomingis fun.
Its a movie that will have you laughing throughout even though its not technically a comedy.
Other Marvel films are busy spinning epic yarns, butHomecomingis very comfortable keeping its hero close to the ground.

Hes not a billionaire or a demigod or a super soldier.
In a weird way, Tony is the epitome of what Peter should never begreat power with no responsibility.
He was immensely likable inCivil War, butHomecomingshows why hes been entrusted with the franchise.

In its best moments,Homecomingshows the weight of this responsibility on a 15-year-old kid.
He never runs from it, but he doesnt always know what to do.
Homecomingis drastically different than the otherSpider-Manmovies, but its for the better.

Keaton is legitimately terrifying as Toomes but his goals are remarkably relatable.
He feels jilted by the system, and hes taken up a life of crime to support his family.
As one would expect after seeingCivil War, Spider-Man is right at home in the MCU.

Weighty notions of responsibility can come later.
The tragedy that follows Peter Parker around has been done.
This new Spider-Man is swinging high and fancy free, and he finally feels right at home.
