What kind of watch this is
Spider-Man: Homecoming is a 2017 action film directed by Jon Watts. It runs 133 minutes, a duration that suggests the homework might actually get done. The tone is light, grounded in the daily grind of being a teenager who happens to swing across Queens. Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, is trying to live a normal life while dealing with a new threat, the Vulture, portrayed by Michael Keaton. Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., serves as a mentor figure in this equation. The film balances the mundane with the epic, showing that saving the city is just another item on a busy to-do list.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 92% as of May 2026. Metacritic lands lower, at 73 out of 100, indicating generally favorable reviews. Mike Ryan at Uproxx called it the best Spider-Man film yet, noting the mood it leaves behind. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times found the lower stakes refreshing. Not everyone agreed. John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter found it occasionally exciting but often frustrating.
