Spider-Man: Homecoming

Wow, I am really late for this one. Don't gemme wrong, I saw this immediately, but I've just been so busy lately. And I'm sorry for lack of YouTube videos, they're coming along, too. Don't worry. I'll get into a rhythm soon enough.

                  Spider-Man: Homecoming takes place not too long after the events of Captain America: Civil War. It actually begins during the civil war, when Tony brought him along to help in their fight
against Steve. He videos everything that happens as like a video diary, and in every respect, he is an excited kid who's in some pretty intense stuff. After his fight at the airport, Tony tells Peter that he can keep the new Stark-enhanced suit.
                  Tony tells Peter that if he ever needs anything, he'll call Peter. Until then, Peter is told to do some friendly neighborhood deeds, like stopping a grand theft bicycle, helping old ladies across the street, and stopping bank robberies. And all of that is dubbed the "Stark Internship", which can sort of explain why Peter sometimes disappears from places and Spider-Man shows up in his place.
                  Alright let's introduce you to the Vulture. Michael Keaton does a fantastic job portraying Adrian Toomes. Rather than being a frail old dude who doesn't seem like he'd be a good enemy for Spider-Man, Keaton scares you out of your pants. And there's plenty of opportunities where Vulture could have killed Peter, yet he doesn't. And that makes him all the scarier, because there's something seriously evil about keeping someone alive even though you could totally kill them. He's just trying to make money, and Peter is interfering with that, so you can imagine that Toomes is pretty pissed about that.
                  I'm not gonna get into the story, not because it's complicated but because there's a lot. And you all already know how much into Spider-Man I am. I'll still give you ratings though, so let's go there. And there's also gonna be a trailer below for ya.

Ratings:
Family Friendliness - 8/10 Web Shooters This is a Marvel film, so you can believe that there'll be violence, but there won't be any serious blood. There's gonna be an intense story-line, but there won't be anything inappropriate like nudity. Definitely a movie that your kids will enjoy.
Story line - 8/10 Suits Okay, as a casual movie-goer, you'll be impressed. But as a Spidey geek like me, HOLY COW WHAT THE HECK???!!! Marvel literally combined around three or four different story lines into one, and it worked beautifully. I am continually shocked at how Marvel can weave such an amazing story by taking elements of different arcs and combining them to make an incredible experience for everyone to watch.
Story Action Balance - 9/10 Boats This was fantastic. I mean, Spider-Man is meant to be an action super hero with incredible agility and fighting abilities and unbelievable strength, but he's also supposed to be a kid who's trying to juggle being a hero with being a smart high schooler involved in smart people stuff.
Overall - 8/10 Stars
