Spiderman: Homecoming (2017) ***

This nth iteration of Spiderman did not really manage to rouse my interest when it came out, but I gave it a go anyway. I have to say, it was better than I expected. Tom Holland really is excellent casting – quirky, natural and with a knack for small gestures. He gives his character an unexpected layer of detail. Michael Keaton just had me endlessly confused because I kept thinking of "Birdman". Robert Downey Jr. didn't seem to care much for this movie, which was a bit sad since Ironman's relationship with Peter is the most interesting aspect of this piece. 

The script was suitably entertaining without being too generic, though it all felt a bit too long. The visuals were vibrant and of high quality, with CGI of the standard expected for this kind of blockbuster. That said, even though I felt mostly entertained, this film was just not very memorable. 3/5
