Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

The question that you no doubt want answering most about the new Spider-Man film is - should you wait until the end credits have finished rolling - and the answer is: yes, yes you should.

And that's probably all you need to about the film.

Homecoming is the Spider-Man reboot that no one thought we needed. It's also the best Spider-Man film we've been given. It's the first Spider-Man film that feels as if it's populated by teenagers rather than thirty-year-olds trying to pass for 16.

The story is fun. The humour works. The high school scenes work. Peter's teenage frustrations work. In short, it works.

It's also very much a Marvel Studios movie. The best decision Sony made was to do their real with Disney. Hopefully they won't now make the mistake of thinking they can do this on their own and ruin the good thing they have going with this interpretation of Spider-Man.
