Young
British actor Tom Holland (The City of Z) has such a sure command of
the role of Peter Parker / Spider-Man that Marvel fans will undoubtedly
feel safe with him. Set in that precarious world of high school
rivalries and crushes, Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming merges the
drama of those uncertainties with larger threats and shows the young
hero – whose drive might outstrip his nascent abilities – struggling
with doing the right thing for the right reason in the wrong way
(perhaps). Holland is joined by high wattage co-stars Michael Keaton as
the villainous Vulture, Robert Downey Jr. as Parker’s “mentor” Tony
Stark / Iron Man, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and a host of colorful
younger actors that keep this clever and kinetic story about alien-arms
dealers grounded in what’s important – Academic Decathlon and School
Dances.
