Marvel and Sony’s achieved a milestone by combing forces for Spider-Man: Homecoming, the reboot film that will bring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man from Captain America: Civil War into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fans have been impressed with Holland in the role, and impressed with the footage they’ve seen in the Spider-Man: Homecoming trailers, so far; however, a preview and marketing materials can only tell you so much. Now the first reactions from people who got to see Spider-Man: Homecoming at a press junket screening are hitting The Web (pun). So, is the verdict good or bad?

Spider-Man: Homecoming…
โ Brandon Davis (@BrandonDavisBD) June 24, 2017
My new favorite super hero movie of all time.
As you can see, our own Brandon Davis holds nothing back, praisingย Spider-Man: Homecomingย as his new favorite superhero film… of all time!ย
More to the point: BD says the films is everything fans want; non-stop fun from start to finish. Excelsior!ย

Momma Davis

Look at that! Even Brandon Davis’ mom lovedย Spider-Man: Homecoming!ย And has Twitter!ย

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a blast. It has an innocence that differentiates it from the other MCU movies but plenty of fun & spectacle too.
โ Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) June 24, 2017
And because people will ask, Spider-Man: Homecoming is EASILY the best Spider-Man movie since Spider-Man 2. Close to Raimi’s original.
โ Germain Lussier (@GermainLussier) June 24, 2017
Germainย Lussierย goes at step further, letting fans know right off the bat whereย Spider-Man: Homecomingย ranks in the lineup of Spider-Man films.ย
With both the Ramiย Trilogy and the stalledย Amazing Spider-Manย reboot to consider, its a big deal to hear thatย Homecomingย tops them all.ย

Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED Spider-Man Homecoming. Funny. Filled with surprises. Tons of fun. Going to make insane $ at box office. pic.twitter.com/8cxce4OmHi

Also Spider-Man Homecoming has one of the best after the credits scenes yet. But not for the reason you’d expect. Trust me. Stay till end. pic.twitter.com/uTAf5rM7ga
โ Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) June 24, 2017
Steve “Frosty” Weintaubย ofย Collider echoes the general sentiment in the room:ย Spider-Man: Homecomingย really is the best in the franchise.ย
However, Steve goes a step further by teasing a big post-credits scene for the film. Studios (read: Marvel often will cut such scenes for press screenings); however, it sounds like this will be anotherย Guardians of the Galaxyย “Howard The Duck” type scene:ย
In other words, somethingย more fun than revelatory.ย

โ Kurt (@KurtisSmejkal) June 24, 2017
Kurt from Letterboxdย gives his 4.5 out of 5 full breakdown ofย Spider-Man: Homecoming.ย
…of course, at 4.5 out of 5 the only thing you’d be reading to know would be what small nitpicks with the film he had.
We’ll just take the larger point thatย Spider-Man: Homecomingย is getting another major thumbs up.ย

We’re not sure if this is a person or a bot who is programmed to REALLY love Tom Holland… (kidding?)
In any case, hearingย Spider-Man: Homecomingย being put on the same level asย Spider-Man 2ย is a big deal. A really big deal.ย
As always, there’s the potential for a movie to be overhyped, but weย wantย to believe.ย

โ Molly Freeman (@mollyrockit) June 24, 2017
ScreenRant‘s Molly Freeman is crushing on Tom Holland in her enthusiastic review of the film.ย
After seeing this entire lineup of glowing reactions toย Spider-Man: Homecoming, we think she’s going to have some company soon.ย
As in: the entire world is probably about to fall in love with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.
