The first film to be set after the events of "Avengers: Endgame", I'm honestly not sure why this is considered the last in Marvel's 'Phase 3' slate, and not the first of their 'Phase 4'.

Anyway, this film takes Peter Parker - and his class-mates - out of New York and on a trip around Europe, with Peter missing his old mentor Tony Stark and just wanting to take some time for himself to recover.

Of course, things don't go to plan, with the appearance of both Mysterio and mysterious elementals causing havoc around Europe, leading Parker to having to - reluctantly - put on his suit once again.

(oh, and stay for both the mid and end-credit scenes)

Fun to watch but doesn't break new ground
No doubt Tom Holland's portrayal of Spiderman is the most accurate version that I have seen, given that Spiderman is a teenager in a high school. I can't help but feel that if Homecoming had more time in the oven, we would have been rewarded with the best Spider-man ever seen on the silver screen. As is, this Spider-man breaks no new ground that won't quickly be plowed under.

Michael Keaton's Vulture is the perfect villain for a downbeat in the MCU symphony. A regular, working-class but ambitious man who took an opportunity - a blue collar Tony Stark. The level of detail and forethought paid to the Vulture and his crew's dealings provides much needed grounding to these fabulous tales of super-heroism. Still, the refreshing qualities of Homecoming are far-outmatched by the staleness of its formula.

Too many of these beats have already been explored in other movies. Tony Stark has remote access to his suit. Tony Stark's dad. Retro-reflective plates. Tony Stark overdesigns stuff. Peter Parker has trouble managing his two lives. Peter Parker's enemy is a close friend's parent.

But the best part is definitely Michael Keaton, who is both seen as a 'hardworking' father trying to provide for his family, while being deeply flawed - the fact that he isn't killed off is also promising. Not a bad film, but not particularly novel.
