Another Spider-Man swings into our lives but this time we skip the origins and go straight into an Avengers-approved reboot. Tom Holland shines in this web of fun-filled action.

I know what you're thinking. Do we REALLY need another Spider-Man movie? Didn't the last reboot only just come out last week? Every other day there's a new superman flick and is this just another to add to the pile? #marvelmoneymakers. Also, the promo poster has got to be one of the worst I've ever seen. Thankfully, however, Spider-Man: Homecoming is a film I can get on board with. It's not exactly new, but we land on both familiar and fresh ground with the Marvel Studios treatment.

Following in Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfields' spidersteps is Tom Holland, who has already been introduced via cameo in Captain America:  Civil War. Here, we get to skip the origins story (he got bitten by a spider, okay? It was painful, apparently) and skip straight to the high school fun. What we get is a Spidey who fits in quite nicely with the Avengers universe, and seeing as that universe is taking over our universe, it makes sense. What would you expect from a 15 year old in a high school film? Girl problems, bullies, best friend bro bonding; you take all of that and then add the dilemma of taking on a local, scary but everyman, crime boss in your very own neighbourhood. He may be under the iron wing of Iron Man, but Parker's very much on his own in what feels like a deliberately local film.

Spider-Man films always have a very prominent villain, and this time it's The Vulture, played by Bird Man Michael Keaton. His backstory is an interesting, borderline Robin Hood For Bad Guys one, and he's not 'evil' just because. Watch out for the Italian mobster references and speech inspiration a la The Sopranos. It even ties into the Battle of New York from the first Avengers film. (Side note: there are a lot of tie-ins and references to the Avengers, erring on the heavy side but you will see some entertaining Captain America videos that will make you wish you went to school in Marvel NYC.) Vulture is harnessing alien power to create all sorts of havoc - weapons that can somehow make solid matter disappear and reappear; is he really that different to goodie Tony Stark? What is slightly unconvincing is his ability to do this completely under the radar even though the S.H.I.E.L.D guys should be all over this stuff. All it takes is an accidental stumble-upon and really convenient well-timed moments for local Youtube star/Spider-Man to get himself embroiled in the mayhem. All he wants to do is to do good, prove himself, and join his idols The Avengers.

There is more of a teenage high school feel in this one, the benefit of having a more youthful - and fun - Spider-Man. As a result, there's a cool juxtaposition of large ferries being torn apart by alien technology, and the struggle of being invited to your crush/the most popular girl in school's house party. This creates more scope for Parker's personality to shine through. I'm also a big fan of the Ned friendship, with sidekick Ned played by a hilarious Jacob Batalon. It's unashamedly silly but also provides the biggest laugh-out-loud moments. Did I mention Ned is also conveniently a pro-hacker? He's Spider-Man's guy in the chair. The school squad is made complete by Zendaya as deadpan Michelle and Laura Harrier as love interest Liz. And of course not forgetting the wonderfully rebooted Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) and mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr actually in the sidelines for once), plus Jennifer Connelly as the A.I suit voice. (It's fitting because Connelly's husband Paul Bettany voiced Iron Man's A.I Jarvis.)  One thing of note that should be celebrated is the diversity of this cast. The actors/actresses aren't there just to fill quotas - they are all individually brilliant and more film promo photocalls should look like Spider-Man: Homecoming's.

Oh, and then there's Tom Holland. Holland genuinely looks like he's having the time of his life, let alone the easily excitable Peter Parker. You get a glimpse of this through a very 2017 intro replaying the scenes from Civil War, and the energy just keeps on flowing. There's a mischievous sparkle in his eyes that says Holland was born to play Parker. He's a Spider-Kid for now, the Man is yet to come but  hey - that's not a bad thing. As a former Billy Elliott, you have to give the trained ballet dancer props for his movement too.

From old-school Spidey music, some nice nods to the comics, cameos and a refreshingly light tone, Spider-Man: Homecoming ticks many boxes. It's not perfect and yes it is another Spiderfilm, but it's a film the audience can really get behind. The studio guys have really thought about how Spider-Man can fit in the universe they've created. Watch it for the Stan Lee cameo, classic drop-your-popcorn twist (which I kinda called!) and the satisfyingly predictable scenes too. And, as always, don't forget to stay until the lights come back on! Spoiler alert: Spider-Man will return. Cannot wait.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is in cinemas now.
