Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)Directed by Jon Watts [NO SPOILERS]Like all the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies before it, this sixteenth entry in the series (and the second appearance of Spider-Man in the MCU after "Captain America: Civil War") was hyped quite a bit, though I didn't like that they revealed too much about it in the trailers. I got to see it on the day it opened here (6-Jul-17) along with @varunabhiram and @kashyapchandra.Thankfully, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" isn't an origin story. It picks up after the events of "Civil War", with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) trying to juggle his high school and superhero lives. He isn't a full fledged member of the Avengers yet. When Peter foils a robbery being committed by thugs with high tech weaponry, that leads him to Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) who has been stealing alien tech from the Chitauri invasion and the Ultron incidents, making them into weapons and selling them. He has also built a high tech suit for himself, and commits crimes as the "Vulture". Peter may have bitten off more than he can chew though, in taking on The Vulture.This is a very entertaining movie, thanks largely to the way Peter / Spider-Man's character is written and acted. I thought Marvel Studios did a brilliant job of doing their own take on Spider-Man which was different from what came before, while still staying true to the character's spirit. I liked the way they integrated this into the bigger MCU with the appearance of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark / Iron Man. I also liked the villain, Michael Keaton did a great job of playing him. Although this isn't one of the big MCU films, it still is important in that it sets up Spider-Man's involvement in "Avengers: Infinity War" (I think the next Infinity Stone will be revealed in "Thor: Ragnarok"). I enjoyed the movie a lot, it had nice action scenes and it went by at a fast pace. Michael Giacchino's music while effective, I thought wasn't really remarkable though. Overall, 8/10.I was thinking what to draw from this movie, and I finally decided I'd draw Spidey in his "homemade" suit. It was drawn in pencil and the colours were added in Photoshop. #272 / 8-Jul-17
