Spider-man: Homecoming

Spider-man played by the young and handspme Tom Holland, gets an internship with Tony Stark, played by the ever charasmatic, Robert Downey Jr. Peter Parker, a very intelligent 15 year old in this school for gifted kids, gets the entire Spiderman suit for his internship. They totally skip that part where he gets bitten by the spider and they only hinted that - "It died". But Peter has this amazing ability to jump real high, superhuman strength, is totally reckless and bold like a hot-blooded teenager.

On the first day he does all this helpful things like help a granny with directions etc like a friendly neighbourhood Spiderman. Guess what. He wanted to do more.

Totally dissed by his friends except for the chair guy (his best friend who is geeky smart and can track things etc), he goes all out to find the folks behind the ATM robbery after discovering their super high tech guns.

Super brilliant guy, he improved his spider webs version to 3.0 during Science class by mixing compounds that I totally couldn't catch. According to my friend this is true to his nature of the actual comic, as biologically he is unable to produce the webs from his own body but uses these web cartridges.

Spider-man messed up the exchange between buyer and seller on board a cruise liner and almost caused it to sink. But saved his friends from plunging to death on the day of their curry of the Academic Decathlon. Iron man saved the day and gets Spiderman to return his suit.

Anyway he found the web lair by chance. Turns out the baddest ass mastermind was the father of the girl he was interested in. Played by Michael Keaton, Vulture was saved by Spiderman before he burnt to death in all that metal.

Happy, the chauffer of Peter Parker, injects quite a bit funny lines. Tony Stark has even more and his secretary even had some press release time in the show.

What was amazing was Captain American constantly educating the children of America during detention, Physical Education/gym and even in the final credits (there were 2) about Patience.

Peter Parker gets his suit back and as a sign of maturity refused Tony Stark's offer to stay in and join the gang, plus have his new and improved suit for ours release. He turns it down and chooses the normal teenage life.

These guys are damn rich and what the Vulture questions about the source of all this wealth may be not false. In the arms industry I would think there's money laundering etc.

There were geeky shirts apparently worn by Peter Parker such as "I lost an electron. Are you positive"? But for the life of me I saw nothing. The only one I remembered was "i surged NY school trip". Not geek but totally embarrassingly cute.
