COLUMBIA PICTURESThere is plenty to like in Marvel’s reboot of Spider-Man, writes Chris Knight, including lead actor Tom Holland, villain Michael Keaton and Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May.
I honestly didn’t think I was ready for another Spider-Man. After the Tobey Maguire trilogy (2002-2007) and the truncated Andrew Garfield years (20122014), not to mention Tom Holland’s appearance in the climactic scene of last year’s Captain America: Civil War, I was awaiting this one with all the anticipation of a new iPhone iOS. “SM v. 3.1b” was my private name for Homecoming.
And yet darned if Holland’s Spidey doesn’t breathe new life into the old web-slinger, who officially turns 55 this year and doesn’t look a day over 15 in the movie. How’d they do it?
First and foremost, no backstory.
As written by a six-man consortium headed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Horrible Bosses), this Spider-Man doesn’t bother introducing Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben just to bump him off and teach the kid a lesson. (Though it does include Marisa Tomei as the hottest Aunt May to grace the screen.) Even the radioactive spider bite is mentioned only in passing, after Peter’s pal (Jacob Batalon in a fine bit of comic relief ) learns his secret identity.
