Movie Review
Like
most teens, Peter Parker wants to be one of the cool kids. Only for
him, the "kids" he wants to be like include a sentient android; a
vaguely Nordic, hammer-holding alien; and a
genius/billionaire/playboy/philanthropist.
Yeah, the rich kids' new Beemers can't quite compare to a quinjet. Even the priciest designer jeans fall somewhere short of a suit made of nitinol. The high school football team just skunked its archrival, you say? Well, that's great. Just great. Really. But have you beaten back a horde of intergalactic invaders recently?
Yeah, that's right: Peter hangs with the Avengers now and then. OK, once. Why, Tony Stark—Mr. Iron Man himself—made Peter his very own high-tech Spider-Man suit. Makes regular ol' high school feel a little blah, y'know?
But Tony hasn't been in touch lately. And Happy—Mr. Stark's ironically named assistant—doesn't return Peter's messages. Still, that doesn't keep the teen from leaving another one. Just in case.
"Just call me," he says. "It's Peter."
"Parker," he adds.
Sure, maybe Peter's superhero alter ego, Spider-Man, isn't as bulky and intimidating as the Hulk, or as powerful as Vision, or, I dunno, as Valhall-rific as Thor. But Peter thinks he still has skills to offer the A team. He's got those web shooters, after all. Not to mention his super strength and his ability to climb up walls and … those web shooters. Those would be super helpful against the next alien attack, wouldn't they? He may only be 15, but Peter's convinced he's already way more useful than, say, Hawkeye.
But in the meantime, Peter keeps himself busy: If he can't be a superhero to the world, he can at least be one to the neighborhood. After school, Peter slaps on his outfit and apprehends petty thieves, plucks cats from trees and gives the occasional old lady directions.
But one night when making the rounds, Peter sees something strange down by the local ATM. Some run-of-the-mill crooks are stealing cash using some not-so-run-of-the-mill tools and weapons. Spidey foils their nefarious scheme, but he wonders where their the weaponry came from. Clearly, the would-be robbers got these glowing, high-tech doodads from somewhere—and that somewhere could spell much bigger problems.
But Happy's dismissive. Iron Man isn't answering.
Guess it looks like a job for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Positive Elements
Spider-Man: Homecoming
marks the third reboot of the Spider-Man franchise in the last 15
years. This film begins after the typical origin story is over, though:
after that famous radioactive spider bite; after Uncle Ben dies; and,
thus, after Ben gives Peter one of superherodom's most inspiring nuggets
of proverbial wisdom: With great power comes great responsibility.
We never hear that pithy slogan. But Peter still feels a tremendous responsibility to be a hero.
Spidey's all about saving lives in this movie, not ending them. He rescues high schoolers from certain death and works like the dickens to keep a loaded ferryboat afloat. He even saves a bad guy or two, risking his own life to do so.
But Homecoming isn't just about Spider-Man playing the hero: It's about him becoming one, too.
This superhero story concentrates as much on Peter's high school life as it does on his heroics—and how some of the decisions he makes are the wrong ones. He quits extracurricular activities just to be available for a call from Tony Stark. He bails on his friends. He skips class and even walks out of detention. And in his zeal to help people he sometimes harms them instead. Tony, playing a father figure to Peter, shows him some tough love and takes away his suit. When Peter protests that he's "nothing" without it, Tony says, "If you're nothing without the suit, you shouldn't have it." It's a harsh moment, but it forces Peter to come to grips with what being a hero really means.
We see plenty of positivity elsewhere, too. Peter's best friend, Ned, puts himself at risk for his pal. Peter's high school crush, Liz, is remarkably kind and understanding when he flakes out on her. Even the movie's primary antagonist, Adrian Toomes, is not without merit. Yes, he's a criminal. But he loves his family dearly. "I'm not doing anything to [them]," he rationalizes to Peter. "I'm doing this for [them]."

Spiritual Content
None,
unless you see Spidey's sacrificial, stretched-out pose while trying to
rescue a sinking ferry as a visual symbol for Jesus on the cross.
