I'm not obsessed with him, I'm just super observant.

Spider-man Homecoming (2017)
Chosen by me as I love going to the cinema and the spider-man movies are mostly pretty fun.


Great fun and easily the best Spider-man film to date.
It's primary weakness is some shoddy darkly lit action sequences. However this is mitigated by the fact that each of the scenes are well crafted plot/character structure wise. So even though the action itself lacks the scenes still work as drama. A Superman eiffel tower-esque sequence at the washington monument is the best (despite featuring the underarm webwings that I've never been a fan of)
I almost wish I could just have had a movie of the kids in school, the chemistry is strong and mostly more interesting than Keaton's vulture who doesnt have many notes to play but grimace (however in his one big scene where he does to get really let loose, a simple conversation in a car, he just nails it).
Ned and Michelle are great school mates (and couldnt feel more like Bendis co-creations if they tried) and Zero from Grand Budapest Hotel is a fun modern take on Flash Thompson. Martin Starr only gets named in the credits so im choosing to believe he is playing Community's Model UN loving Professor Cligoris (the film furthers the numerous MCU/Harmontown connections - Chris Mckenna is one of the many credited writers and Donald Glover gets to make a vague reference to a major spider-man character).
