Spiderman Homecoming: A Thrilling Marvel Comics Superhero Film
Reflection regarding a movie is an individual opinion and cannot be made parallel to any other’s perception. I have recently watched Spiderman latest movie, Homecoming at the theater. I am very interested in thriller movies especially Spiderman movies. It was released in the year 2017 and is a leading Marvel Comics superhero film that is co-produced Columbia Pictures along with Marvel Studios. The movie was directed by Jon Watts and produced by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal. Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley wrote the story. The movie was extremely thrilling and had major action sequences from the Battle of New York. I like the role played by Spiderman, who went on to save the universe and various people from Toomes by persuasion of Chitauri technology.
The movie run successfully world over creating all the more craze in regards to Spiderman. Crime fighter spirit of Spiderman had earned him fame, which depicted his return from school life. At the end of the movie Spiderman is shown to return to his normal school life which I found to be amazing. The shift of Spiderman from school to real life and then again the transition is what I liked the most also its action scenes which were very well designed. But on the contrary my friends did not like the movie much as he found the action sequence to be unbelievable in nature. He did not share similar opinion regarding the movie like me.
