It seems like it took the merger of Sony and Marvel Studios to finally get it right. The first Spider-Man: Homecoming press screening receives incredibly positive reactions on Twitter and we couldn’t be more excited.
I can finally tell you #SpiderManHomecoming is great fun. Very funny, sweet, smaller stakes but more relatable. Tom Holland rocks. pic.twitter.com/eZmyUBXYKe

I'd kind of forgotten how much I loved Spider-Man growing up & related to Peter Parker until I saw Homecoming. Movie captures why he endures

Some time ago, Kevin Feige, the pushing force behind all that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, promised that this movie would be “a John Hughes movie”, and according to the people who got the chance to watch Homecoming, it is…
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING is pure joy. Tom Holland is perfect: He's having the time of his life, and it shows.

Also, it's really funny. Like, REALLY funny — with some great surprises.
— Devan Coggan (@devancoggan) June 24, 2017
I roll my eyes whenever anyone says their movie has a John Hughes tone, but Spidey actually nails it.

This Jon Watts’ directed film was favorably compared to Sam Raimi’s very well-received Spider-Man 2 from 2004. A very impressive feat given that, among fans, that is considered the best Spider-Man film and one of the best comic book films.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a blast. It has an innocence that differentiates it from the other MCU movies but plenty of fun & spectacle too.

it felt weird at the start, but then act 3 clicks in BIG TIME. A few days removed, the more I think about it, the more I like it.
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) June 24, 2017
I was also surprised at the number of times Homecoming surprised me, despite all the rumors I read. Though I'd advise to stop doing that now
— Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) June 24, 2017
And because people will ask, Spider-Man: Homecoming is EASILY the best Spider-Man movie since Spider-Man 2. Close to Raimi's original.

#SpiderManHomecoming felt just like reading a Marvel comic book — other heroes appear, heart-stopping twists, and bursting with humor. pic.twitter.com/Hx3tzBsaNB

#SpiderManHomecoming had so many AMAZING Easter eggs, I was legit shaking with nerd excitement as I was leaving the theater.
— Joshua Yehl (@JoshuaYehl) June 24, 2017
I still love Spider-Man 2 more, but #SpiderManHomecoming is right up there with it as one of the best Spidey, and superhero films out there. pic.twitter.com/3HPhEpdnKN

Watching #SpiderManHomecoming felt like watching @BRIANMBENDIS comics come to life and take over a movie theater for two fantastic hours.
— Joshua Yehl (@JoshuaYehl) June 24, 2017
I don't want to spoil it but they found a way to make Spider-Man relatable like never before on screen, that's where @TomHolland1996 shines. pic.twitter.com/t2p8e4Tmm8

#SpiderManHomecoming was soooo gosh darn funny. There's a particular sequence that still has me laughing, can't wait to talk w/yall about it
— Joshua Yehl (@JoshuaYehl) June 24, 2017
Michael Keaton's Vulture won't go down as Best Villain Ever but he's solid & has one part that's so good I DIDN'T BREATHE the whole sequence
— Joshua Yehl (@JoshuaYehl) June 24, 2017
Like you read above, the praise was not only directed towards the protagonist and its humor, but it also praised the main villain by comparing Michael Keaton’s Vulture to the best MCU villain: Loki. With the villain problem Marvel movies tend to have, it seems Homecoming will not suffer from this issue.
#SpiderManHomecoming is fantastic. Perfectly cast. Does an impressive job of balancing superheroics & high school drama.

Leaning into Spidey being a teenager was a GREAT idea. #SpiderManHomecoming
— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) June 24, 2017
Also: Michael Keaton's Vulture is the best MCU villain since Loki (not that that's such high bar, but still!) #SpiderManHomecoming
— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) June 24, 2017
One very wonderful thing that happens in #SpiderManHomecoming is that they just let Peter's love interest be taller than him
— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) June 24, 2017
#spidermanhomecoming is PHENOMENAL fun !!!
— Kristy Puchko (@KristyPuchko) June 24, 2017
Michael Keaton gives us the best MCU movie villain since Loki. Maybe better. #SpiderManHomecoming

With so much positive reassurance it seems the amount of good we got to see of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War will be repeated in the his titular film. It even seems that Iron Man’s involvement is not as big the trailers make it out to seem, because a lot of the reactions mentioned being surprised by what’s to come. Also, there are two after-credit scenes that fans will be expectant to see.
Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED Spider-Man Homecoming. Funny. Filled with surprises. Tons of fun. Going to make insane $ at box office. pic.twitter.com/8cxce4OmHi
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) June 24, 2017
Also Spider-Man Homecoming has one of the best after the credits scenes yet. But not for the reason you'd expect. Trust me. Stay till end. pic.twitter.com/uTAf5rM7ga

#SpiderManHomecoming is SUCH a good time. Fun, inventive action w/ some of the best humor in a Marvel film yet. Great start for MCU Spidey! pic.twitter.com/8kTnG6wtO2

My favorite thing about this Spidey film is that it was so outer-boro NY. Queens, Brooklyn & Staten Island represent!!!
— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) June 24, 2017
Spot on casting, spot on Spidey – the audience had a blast. My 18 year old nephew says it's "spectacular" & his favorite Marvel film yet
— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) June 24, 2017
Oh, and the biggest MCU scene stealer is not Tony Stark 😉
— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) June 24, 2017
It's so well written and all the comic timing is terrific. Maybe one of the best Marvel scripts yet I'd say
— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) June 24, 2017
And I'll toss out one more thing – ya got 2 post-credits scenes, so stick around. The second one is so good#SpidermanHomecoming

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is set to hit theaters on July 7.
