    There is plenty to like in Marvel\u2019s reboot of Spider-Man, writes Chris Knight, including lead actor Tom Holland, villain Michael Keaton and Marisa Tomei\u2019s Aunt May.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    I honestly didn\u2019t 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\u2019s appearance in the climactic scene of last year\u2019s Captain America: Civil War, I was awaiting this one with all the anticipation of a new iPhone iOS. \u201cSM v. 3.1b\u201d was my private name for Homecoming.<\/p>\n

    And yet darned if Holland\u2019s Spidey doesn\u2019t breathe new life into the old web-slinger, who officially turns 55 this year and doesn\u2019t look a day over 15 in the movie. How\u2019d they do it?<\/p>\n

    First and foremost, no backstory.<\/p>\n

    As written by a six-man consortium headed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Horrible Bosses), this Spider-Man doesn\u2019t bother introducing Peter Parker\u2019s 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\u2019s pal (Jacob Batalon in a fine bit of comic relief ) learns his secret identity.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Instead, we get something new. Michael Keaton stars as Adrian Toomes, a blue-collar type heading up the cleanup of one of the Avengers movies that wrecked parts of New York. His job looks like a workers\u2019 comp\/alien lawsuit waiting to happen, but before he can start, the feds take over with a new department, Damage Control. (Can\u2019t help but see those initials, DC, as a dig at that other superhero franchise whose track record, until Wonder Woman, has been less than super.) Undeterred, Toomes grabs a bit of alien tech and makes himself a flying suit and some weapons to traffic. In something of a full cinematic circle, the Batman (1989) who became Birdman (2014) is now basically Evil Birdman.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Spider-Man is honing his crime-fighting powers in the community rather than at the intergalactic level: Hey, he is your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. And in a nod to the success of the similarly costumed Deadpool, Spider-Man delivers a fairly constant banter with his foes, albeit far more PG-friendly than Ryan Reynolds\u2019 \u201cmerc with a mouth.\u201d Though I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d like to live in Spidey\u2019s section of Queens, given the low-level devastation \u2014 busted fences, broken roof tiles, etc. \u2014 he leaves in his wake. Kids these days!<\/p>\n

    Spidey will no doubt have more to do with the rest of the Avengers team in future movies \u2014 wait, you knew there were more coming, right? \u2014 but for now he gets just an occasional visit from Iron Man, or at least from Tony Stark\u2019s remote-controlled Iron Man suit.<\/p>\n

    Mostly, Peter\u2019s well-being is fobbed off on Stark\u2019s assistant Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), whose moving-day-at-Stark-Tower storyline is the film\u2019s weakest plot element. On the plus side, there are several fun Captain America cameos.<\/p>\n

    Being a latchkey superhero leaves Peter free to get up to other shenanigans, some involving his high school crush Liz (Laura Harrier) and the more interesting but platonic Michelle (Disney triple-threat Zendaya). And since his suit comes from Stark Enterprises, he soon learns it has voice-activated options (Jennifer Connelly provides the suit\u2019s amusingly Siri-esque voice).<\/p>\n

    Much of this culminates in a thrilling rescue atop the Washington Monument, nicely paced by director (and superhero firsttimer) Jon Watts.<\/p>\n

    Keaton, whose character pops up in the most unusual places (including one of two post-credit sequences), makes for a fascinating villain \u2014 far from wanting to take over the world, he seems most interested in providing for his family, making him hard to hate. And Britain\u2019s Holland manages to balance his awkward, excitable personality against the film\u2019s darker, life-and-death moments.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s something I never thought I\u2019d write: I want to see more of both of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
