SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING: Evidently Peter Parker had a thrilling time with the Avengers in "Captain America: Civil War" (a film I did not see) and in this story he returns home to NYC to continue his life as a teenage nerd/superhero. Mentored by Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) he tries to find a balance in his life until a new villain, the evil Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges to create havoc and throw his life into chaos. Along for the ride in this outing are Marisa Tomei (Aunt May), Tyne Daly and Gwyneth Paltrow(in little more than a walk-on). Newcomer Tom Holland is the new hero and he handles the job admirably bringing a boyish charm to the character. As is to be expected the CGI effects are first rate and I was particularly impressed with the goings-on at the Washington Monument and the Staten Island Ferry. Great fun. Here's hoping Mr.Holland will be on board for the next installment. (Can there be any doubt one is in the planning stages?)
