Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Fine, but it was another Marvel movie that made me think "yeah, I see what you're trying to do here and you almost hit it", like Ant-Man going for cool heist caper or Winter Soldier going for old War spy thriller. It's often the aggressive overlapping with the MCU that scuppers it, which felt like the case here. The end credits had more youthful, anarchic energy than the rest of the film put together, and Spidey doesn't feel well-defined as a hero - he's more like Iron Boy here. It felt like a solid springboard for a great sequel though.
Rating: Good
