The script, the casting, the humour, the visual storytelling, the overall tone-everything feels proper throughout.
This is a Marvel film with a solid third act. Each of his few appearances in the film are used to maximum effect and they assist in creating and sustaining a tension that ramps up all the way to a completely satisfying finish. It is both menacing and grounded in a convincing ersatz reality. He manages to infuse pathos into his character while still remaining completely menacing, and is easily the best MCU antagonist since Loki.īut it is his costume, a mechanized variant of a six-foot Vulture that steals the show. Here he’s perfect as a blue collar guy who is criminally committed to maintaining a particular kind of economic status. He’s an actor who has seen a career as Batman, Birdman and now The Vulture a gallery of heroes and villains that is novelistically serendipitous. Not surprisingly, the next best thing in Spiderman: Homecoming is Michael Keaton. Tom Holland, who occupies the screen for almost the entirety of the film, was born to play this part. We find Peter Parker (Spiderman) already a semi Avenger juggling his profound responsibilities as a hero with the mundane agonies of a fifteen-year-old teenager. There is no long drawn out origin sequence, no exposition dumps. It is a film that, while you are watching it, convinces you that every little widget and bauble belongs exactly where it rests. But most importantly, from the costumes to the technology and all the small visual details, everything makes sense within the rules of this little pocket universe director Jon Watts and his umpteen producers have given birth to. From maintaining continuity within the MCU, dealing with the ghosts of iterations past and trying not to simply reproduce a formula while tweaking it enough to find something just a little bit different, it all works.
It manages to artfully juggle everything it needs to-spectacularly well. Spiderman: Homecoming is a success despite, or perhaps because of, the many hands involved in its creation (there are six separate screenwriting credits alone). You illustrate and refine the costumes, architecture, technology-helping to create a consistent visual template for the film. These kinds of productions have countless departments involving hundreds of people and multiple locations across the globe.Ĭoncept artists make sure everyone has a firm grasp on the visual aesthetic underlying such a sprawling production. On a many headed Hydra like Spiderman: Homecoming, everyone needs to be on the same page.
