Spider-man: Homecoming 2017


     Peter Parker is in high school in Queens, New York and he tries to be ordinary.  He’s on the trail of a new menace prowling New York.  Adrian Toomes goes by the nickname Vulture and he is constantly on the lookout for alien weaponry.  He used to be the only company in this business but another company has butted in and Vulure isn’t happy.
      Spider-Man is in high school and his focus is on his crime fighting activities.  In this movie he seems strangely inept most of the time?  Shouldn't he be called Spider-Boy instead?  How can he fight villains and especially Vulture if he’s constantly making mistakes?  When Iron Man steps in to help Spider-man, he seems very out of place?  2* (I didn't like this movie)

133 min, Action directed by Jon Watts with Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Bokeem Woodbine, Tyne Daly, Abraham Attah, Hanibal Buress, Kenneth Choi, Selenis Leyva, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr.

Jackson.  Tom Holland is nineteen and he spent a few days in classes at the Bronx High School of Science to prepare for his role as Peter Parker.
