Spiderman: Homerun



The third reboot of the Spiderman franchise is old news. So is the fact that it was a huge success, but I only got to watch it tonight, Now that I am done watching it, I am going to talk about it.
Spiderman homecoming is a good movie. It has a simple story, stellar cast and a director who knows what he is doing. At its core, Spiderman homecoming is a simple coming of age teen flick. And that is what makes Homecoming so good!
The movie has very little faults, so let’s get them out of the way first. It lacked action and the soundtrack was average. Done these are my gripes with the movie.
Now let’s talk about the good stuff. The movie really fleshes out the characters . Supporting characters like Ned get a lot more screen time then they did on Spiderman’s last outing. Tom Holland is perfectly cast as the web-slinger and for me, he rivals Toby for the best Actor to portray Spidey!
For the first time, Spiderman is an actual teen! He has school to deal with and his aunt is not his grandmother! Peter Parker is witty like he is in the comics and his chemistry with Ned was something which I could watch all day! The changes they made to Flash were pleasing and Liz was also good. I like how Zendeya’s character was mystic and her, reveal at the end was good. And for once Marvel also gave us a good villain. A fleshed out villain, who had a reason for being evil and trying to kill Spiderman! He is no mad scientist who just wants to end the world for the thrill of it. He is a commoner like you and me, who had to become bad to survive. Michael Keaton does his best to show that side of the Vulture, and it shows! If that was not enough the film is filled with references, like that Ferris Bueller movie playing on the T.V. They also managed to perfectly use Iron-Man as a plot device and Downey Jr. did not overshadow Spiderman. He did what he required to do nothing more.

Spiderman homecoming successfully reboots the Spiderman franchise for the third time! However, it will require more action in its second outing to remain successful!

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...
