Spider-Man Homecoming Review

The newest Spider-Man film Spider-Man Homecoming just got released and people are loving it. According to Vedika’s review of the movie, “Tom Holland is the perfect actor to fill the tights of the web-shooting suit. He brings a new spin to the role of Spider-Man by embracing the vulnerable and teenage side of the character, making the film more relatable and enjoyable.” As usual, you can read more about it on Vedika’s review of Spider-Man Homecoming on The Beacon.
