‘Spider-Man’ On The Big Screen: His Films Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

Spider-Man: Homecoming felt like a new beginning for the Spider-Man franchise. The John Hughes-vibe and the gut-busting humor absolutely nailed it for me. The film’s plot is very simple but does a very good job in surprising you when you least expect it. The film properly builds upon the universe what Marvel has created, while building a niche for Spider-Man to handle.

Tom Holland plays Peter Parker and Spider-Man like he was created by Stan Lee himself. He’s smart, persistent and he just wants to do a good job as a hero. You get to see just what it would be like if a 15-year-old kid suddenly got superpowers and Holland does an amazing job leading Homecoming. Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t have as big a role as the marketing would suggest, but his presence looms large over the film.

With its very diverse cast, great performances, humorous plot and a very strong antagonist in Michael Keaton’s Vulture, Spider-Man: Homecoming finds a way to make you laugh and have a really good time at the theater.
