If you've seen 'Captain America: Civil War', you would agree that the new portrayal of Spider-Man was highly praised. If you liked Tom Holland's Spider-Man, you won't have to wait much longer until 'Spider Man: Homecoming' releases, which will be on July 7th, 2017. In the meantime, we have a brand new trailer to talk about. It was nice until its drastic tone change...
First off, a good majority of the Peter Parker scenes reminded me of a John Hughes movie, which is what intrigued me the most. We finally have a Peter Parker who actually looks like a high schooler. My only concern with the high school scenes is if Marvel butchers it with the forced humor. Marvel's recent 'Doctor Strange' had the most cringe worthy humor I have witnessed from the studio. I hope the six screenwriters don't create a disaster. Speaking of that, I find it interesting that it takes six screenwriters to write a Spider-Man movie...
And then a drastic change occurs. What do we know? It's the Vulture (Michael Keaton). The drastic change in tone from the trailer was odd. I couldn't help but think of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' when it ocurred. Hopefully that type of change only occurs in this trailer. I don't care if the film is light hearted or serious. The tone should be consistent. I haven't seen the movie, but it seems like the villain curse from Marvel will occur once again. Michael Keaton gives a chilling performance, but the dialogue felt like the screenwriter from the 'Vacation' reboot wrote it. Oh wait... Jonathan M. Goldstein is one of the six screenwriters.
As for Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) being in the movie, it's expected. However, I don't mind him being involved as long as he actually has a useful part in the film. It would be a shame if he was just cameo that serves no purpose.
Am I more excited for 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' after the trailer? Not really. It's actually what I expected. I'm not going to have any expectations when I see the film. I have gotten to the point where the Marvel formula isn't so appealing to me anymore. What do you guys think of the first trailer?
