spider-man is back welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 things
spider-man homecoming got right before
we begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
various aspects of the movie that helps
to make it such a huge hit among critics
and audiences alike
thanks number 10 the comedic tone well
it’s true that the marble movies aren’t
particularly dark spider-man homecoming
embraced a comedic tone that was totally
unique this movie remained hilarious
throughout whether the humor was coming
from goofy slapstick funny spider-man
based moments or eighties movie
references thank you it was a comedy
through and through and it was an
enormous ly refreshing change of tone
for those of us who are beginning to
feel a little burnt out on the whole
superhero thing as you know we made it
out alive and that’s the important thing
I couldn’t bear to lose a student on a
school trip not again never not it’s
integrated into the MCU or on about him
– yeah we met two things made this
aspect of the movie so interesting the
one the integration means that were
finally allowed to feel as if spider-man
is part of this huge cinematic world
that Marvel has created various
characters like Captain America pop up
for quick little cameos and obviously
Peter interacts with Tony Stark on a
semi-regular basis but what also makes
this so great is that it isn’t
distracting spider-man homecoming is
still very much a spider-man movie the
integration makes it feel like part of a
much larger world yet it still adheres
to its own standalone story it’s a
win-win for fans I was wrong about you I
think with a little more mentoring to be
a real asset to the team
number eight it keeps the stakes low
great job Peter you’re 98% successful
now
there’s no denying the spider-man
homecoming nailed the feel and tone of
the comics spider-man was never about
saving the planet from world-ending
alien invaders instead the movie keeps
to the tone of the comic by following an
ambitious yet outmatched young man as he
tries to stop a criminal from selling
dangerous weapons that’s it no invading
alien race no convoluted schemes to turn
people into lizards it’s stuck to what
makes spider-man such a unique character
and it avoided the extravagant excess
that plagues modern superhero movies
while the stakes are low and compared to
the kind of thing you’d see in the
Avengers the stakes are high for Peter
and that’s what makes it a compelling
story I’d rather just stay on the ground
for a little while friendly neighborhood
spider-man he’s got a fat little guy
right number 7 the costumes let’s go an
underappreciated aspect of filmmaking is
costume design and maybe just say this
movie’s costume game was on point
spider-man’s costume perfectly captured
the fun and innocent feel that the movie
was going for despite it not being as
detailed his Raimi’s rendition Peters
amateur costume was also remarkable as
it truly looked like something a high
school kid would create while still
adhering to spider-man’s aesthetics but
it’s the vultures costume which steals
the show here not only does the vulture
suit itself looks suitably high-tech but
Adrian Toomes jacket is a wonderful
piece of costume design which gives the
character a distinct physical presence
business is good number 6
it wasn’t an origin story finally when
everyone heard that Marvel Studios was
going to have a crack at their own
interpretation of a spider-man movie we
were thrilled and scared in equal
measure thrilled because Marvel’s track
record has been excellent and we all
know that their spider-man would be no
exception and scared because we all
thought that we’d have to sit through
another retelling of Spidey’s origin
story the first spider-man was released
in 2002 and the amazing spider-man was
only 10 years after that
luckily Marvel completely did away with
the all-too-familiar beats it was a
great move and it proved that Marvel
knows exactly how to hit the needs of
their audience we swear if we had to see
another Uncle Ben death scene they
cannot no I cannot do that to her right
now you know and everything that’s
happened with her please number 5 it’s
self-contained can I give you some
advice
you got to get better at this part of
the job I’m Sam I’m intimidating as we
mentioned earlier
spider-man homecoming is a completely
self-contained story which is a
refreshing change of pace for the usual
cliffhanger obsessed universe sharing
superhero movies of late there are
references to the other movies like
tombs cleaning up the Battle of New York
from the Avengers and snagging the alien
weapons but for the most part the movie
is a standalone spider-man story
complete with character arts and a
fitting conclusion he’ll the only
cliffhanger we get is Aunt May walking
in on spider-man but even that was
played for laughs it’s nice to see a
superhero movie that isn’t bogged down
by having to set up a big crossover
number four the score
[Music]
a superhero movie would not be complete
without an epic score composer Michael
Giacchino started relatively small
scoring hit television shows like alias
and lost before becoming one of
Hollywood’s go-to action movie composers
he is composed movies like Star Trek
super 8 and Doctor Strange and his score
for spider-man is just as great as it
was for those films his rebored
spider-man theme is a suitably cinematic
take on the classic piece and pieces
like fly-by-night operation are both
beautifully old-school and heart pumping
we can’t wait to see what this man does
next
number three Tom Holland I’ve met him
yeah a couple times but it’s um through
these dark internship kudos to the
casting director because these kids and
especially Tom Holland are truly amazing
while a lot of people have a soft spot
for Tobey Maguire others think that he
wasn’t young and awkward enough Andrew
Garfield’s fine but wasn’t given much to
work with Poland absolutely nailed
everything that makes spider-man so
endearing and relatable
he’s suitably young so he believed that
he could be a high school student he’s
clumsy and awkward both as a teenager
and as spider-man and he convincingly
captures Peters personal struggles he
completely embodies the character please
please please let’s happen you don’t
understand this is all I have are
nothing without this suit if you’re
nothing without this shoe then you
shouldn’t have it number two the vulture
[Music]
every superhero movie needs a good
villain and the vulture is arguably
spider-man’s and potentially Marvel’s
greatest on-screen villain yet not
because he’s a massive threat but
because he’s surprisingly complex hey
superhero villains are typically
portrayed as being maniacal and
egotistical world destroyers yet here’s
a man who is simply selling guns to
provide for his family while he’s still
a criminal we understand his motivations
and we see that he has a personal life
outside of being the story’s villain
Michael Keaton perfectly portrays the
complex nature of the vulture as he
allows us to feel both fear and sympathy
towards the character most people feed
those people up there the rich and the
powerful they do whatever they want guys
like us you me no care upon us number
one using ultimate spider-man as an
influence in treating me like a kid all
the time just not cool but you are a kid
yeah a kid who can stop a boss with his
bare hands
ultimate spider-man was an updated and
modernized series of spider-man comic
books which began in 2000 by writer
Michael Bendis and artist Marc Begley
like the movie it was a reboot of the
classic comics series but that’s not the
only thing that two stories have in
common
Hulland told IGN that he used ultimate
spider-man as a major influence for his
portrayal of the character and it shows
the series influence helps give the
movie a modern feel which is a big
reason it feels so fresh and distinct
from the spider-man films that have come
before this is spider-man for the new
generation this is awesome do you agree
