 Right out of the gates. Here's the order of things from best to worst spider-man one spider-man two They can be flip-flopped if needed. I go back and forth from time to time homecoming spider-man three the amazing spider-man AIDS B movie amazing spider-man two you disagree. That's cool. This is movie views There's constipation spider-man axe hair gel spider-man and baby six-pack spider-man I've been team Tobes my whole life and that doesn't really change here Although Tom Holland does put in some great work. There's something about Toby McGuire's Patheticness that really speaks to me. He's like the Frodo Begans of superheroes a silly looking lovable scamp Who's been dealt a raw hand in life? His burden is his great power and responsibility to the ones he loves and the protection of his city Even though I didn't much care for the taste of Andrew Garfield's sticky webbing in my mouth Who's writing this? I will say he's pretty great when donning the mask. It's his Peter that rub me the wrong way Oh for fuck's sake on the Aunt May side of things we go from a scale ranging from neat to attend Sunday Mass with to I wouldn't regret sharing her bed for a night that second statement applies to both Marissa Tome and Sally Field I enjoy all three versions of this character from the older wiser incarnations to the younger Hipper one each of these first Installments features a love story to Kirsten Dunst plays the out of Peter's league love interest Mary Jane Watson in 2002 story although she's mainly used as a damsel in distress the chemistry between her and Toby is on point and you feel sympathetic For this girl next door Emma Stone puts in a more well-rounded performance as Gwen Stacy, and she's arguably the best part of this movie I found the exchanges between her and Garfield to be more awkward and clumsy though But that's probably what high school kids sound like that are almost 30 years old Homecoming's relationship between Parker and Laura Harriers Liz is far more downplayed and reminded me of my high school flings Because like them this goes absolutely nowhere Sam Raimi's spider-man carries over Parker's friend Harry Osborne from the comics to pal around with James Franco handles the role well showcasing a range of emotions throughout the picture I don't think Peter had any friends in the Mark Webb version unless you count his tears as companions in which case He's never alone unlike previous versions. It's rare to see homecoming spider-man by himself Typically is with his funny best friend Ned his aunt or his AI suit villains are an interesting bunch Let's start with William Defoe who gives a very polarizing performance as the Green Goblin Some like myself really dig his overly cartoonish tone while others will dismiss it as cheesy or my favorite overused term Cringy 2012's amazing spider-man as the lamest villain of the bunch. Dr Connors aka the lizard not only is he a carbon copy Personality wise of Defoe's goblin, but he has the dumbest bad guy plan of the lot Which is to turn the entire city's population into lizard people I recently reviewed homecoming and said that although I am a big Michael Keaton fan I found the vulture to be just alright got a lot of pushback on that and I have no idea why his Motivations make sense and he's certainly better than most the MCU villains But there is nothing memorable here outside the great twist in the final act that many did not see coming including myself I've seen Keaton as Beetlejuice Batman a washed-up actor multiple versions of himself in the same movie So to say that this is his best performance today it is insulting lastly There's a memorable performance put in by J K Simmons as J Jonah Jameson a character so perfectly captured the next two versions Didn't even bother trying the daily bugle crass talking hot-headed editor in chief goes out of his way to paint our web Head in a bad light ironically hiring the very guy. He hates to snap photos for the cover story Speaking of let's head there now What we have here are three origin stories. Oh This is Adam. Oh, hey Sharice. Yeah, we started filming like 20 minutes ago. Thanks for showing up. You're lost Well, what where are you? Okay? You're on Main Street. Keep going down about three more blocks You're gonna take a left by a game stop Yes, a game stop I'm pointing this out as a reference point because everybody goes to game stop still Yep, once you go past that I'll go down a little bit further pick up some Doritos on your way. I'm hungry Yeah, I don't know why I just saw a homecoming and for some reason Doritos and GameStop popped in my head I gotta go I gotta do this wait a second Adam homecoming isn't an origin story You lying son of a bitch. You probably didn't even see the film calm down Matt I've seen it. Okay, one or two people are gonna have the name Matt that are watching this and this is gonna speak to them on an Even deeper level sure it doesn't go the same route that the former ones did with the whole spider bite transformation and the killing of Uncle Ben played by Cliff Robertson originally and Martin Sheen in 2012 We don't see him create the suit or learn how to harness his abilities and we certainly don't get our three minutes Three minutes of playtime by bones RIP Macho man Randy Savage RIP what we do get however is a very young and naive spider-man who isn't ready to become an Avenger yet In fact by the end of the earlier films those two old-timers are more spider-man than Tom Holland ever is in the so-called Non-origin story homecoming goes out of its way to not be like those other entries removing almost any trace of Spidey sense and web Swinging gone are the inventive Spidey cam swinging shots and slow-motion Precognition and don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking homecoming for going a different route quite the contrary. We saw what happens when you do a carbon copy That's what the amazing spider-man is still there are plenty of people who like the darker and more somber angle the amazing films go Diving into the backstory of Peter's parents and the constant struggle He has living with his emotional baggage and new powers Sam Remy had a vision in 2002 when he put spider-man on the big screen It didn't line up with the comics exactly and the character was not as humorous or light-hearted as originally conceived There was however clear passion and creativity driving this forward hearing Uncle Ben's final words and the reaction on Toby's face is Perfect the chase that follows is intense as hell The story keeps a great pace and juggles multiple threads from the training montage to the transformation of Osborne into the sinister goblin It's the definition of an epic film I'm not gonna continue to bash the amazing spider-man movie here I've done so plenty of times in other feuds that would just be redundant to me It was the same as the live-action Beauty and the Beast if you're going to do the same thing again Then what the hell is the point especially when the thing you are mirroring is so well loved already I mean money is obviously a driving factor and retaining the rights of a character you currently own spider-man homecoming is a really funny Comedy it's a superhero comedy much in the same vein as Deadpool minus the aggressive unicorn masturbation We've all come to love in some ways. It's a very unique flick and in others It's extremely generic the whole John Hughes style high school shenanigans are incredibly fun I was smiling through most of the film where it fails for me is the actual superhero stuff It's fine that the stakes are smaller scale They should be however because the story chooses to blow past the uncle Ben and parent tragedies I have no idea why Peter insists on being this other dude The spider-man has no real motivations to be himself. He just is I was worried going in there being over reliance on stark tech to make spider-man Well spider-man to an extent this fear became a reality But thankfully it's short-lived and leads to some fantastic Exchanges between Parker and his suits Cortana. It's different web abilities range from that's really cool to Electric webbing really Tony Stark's inclusions take away from Peter's own ability and the fact that Stark can create basically Anything at this point with unlimited resources makes all those other character outfits seem illogical and silly Why be in a spider-man suit at all? Just give him an iron man suit let him fly around instead of have to use webs let him auto walk on to villains for miles away It's just it's just too much the fighting isn't great in homecoming either really quick exchanges for the most part until a final act Night fight on an invisible plane. It's not the easiest scene to watch and I spent most of that time thinking This is a really unguarded plane that has a lot of really priceless things on it really important things You would think that Stark would at least have a couple iron and flying alongside of it Amazing spider-man for some reason thinks its lead is Batman and opts to have him fight mostly at night The action sequences are easy enough to keep track of but there is nothing remotely interesting going on The school battle is the highlight and I did enjoy the spider web he builds in the sewer to find his prey Rami's action is far more frantic and violent with our hero getting very cut up and bloody by the time the credits roll The camera moves with ease as Spidey goes from building to building sometimes in glorious slow motion a company And him is the best score of the three and one of the best in superhero history ranking up there with Donner's Superman and Burton's Batman Which makes sense considering Danny Elfman also did the Cape Crusaders flick James Horner really phones it in with Mark Webb's picture and homecoming forgets it had a theme after the great opening score instead falling back on the Avengers stock music We've heard 16 times over by now and believe it or not. This is me trying to be less impartial than usual clearly It's not working. Let's conclude Glad Marvel and Sony didn't just turn out the same old Spider-Man movie again We have Sam Rami's fantastic trilogy to look back on and we have Mark Webb's two-parter to show us just how bad things can really get I prefer Rami's first installment for many reasons traditional origin stories are certainly played out But when they are done right with clear passion and heart they can be very powerful and entertaining 2017 Spider-Man homecoming is a simple and refreshing take on the character that is a letdown for me in terms of pure Hollywood magic But it's a huge victory separating itself from the overwhelming amount of comic book movie adaptations hitting the screen each and every month Still as always I'm eager to hear your thoughts leave a comment vote for your winner and remember this is more than just reviews This is movie feuds Hey Victoria, you know the eclair you just engulfed in one bite that was sitting on the snack table.
