All 14 Sony Spider-Man and Spider-Verse movies ranked from worst to best

6. Spider-Man: Homecoming

Fresh off his MCU debut and brush with the Avengers, Peter Parker heads back home where he begins to embrace his newfound superhero alter ego. With his new mentor, Tony Stark, keeping a watchful eye on him, Peter is eager to prove to himself and to the world that he's more than just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. He gets that opportunity when Vulture emerges ready to threaten everything that Peter values.

Spider-Man: Homecoming was truly such a breath of fresh air to the Sony Spider-Man movies. Instead of rehashing an origin story we all know and have seen countless times before, Marvel and Sony jump right to showcasing a Peter who is struggling to prove himself as a hero while also trying to survive high school.

This is a Spider-Man movie that doesn't try to forget that Spider-Man is basically a kid, but rather embraces those qualities in the character. We get to see Peter struggling with things like impressing his crush and navigating the crazy world that is high school.

Tom Holland's Peter Parker is endearing and relatable, he's an underdog we can't help ourselves from rooting for. The same sentiment applies to Zenday’s MJ and Jacob Batalon’s Ned. Oh, and let's not forget how amazing the film's villain twist was in literally having Peter's worlds collide when it was revealed that Vulture also happened to be the father of Peter's crush, Liz.

As a whole, Spider-Man: Homecoming was an incredible formal introduction for Spider-Man in the MCU and established Tom Holland's Spider-Man as a top-tier hero within the MCU.
