A few new things:
Spiderman: Homecoming - Spiderman 2 still takes the top prize but this one is easily the second best for me although it has little to do with the Spiderman portion which is the weakest part. The action is not great & the Vulture, while a great character played well by Michael Keaton, is murky looking and the battle with Spiderman nothing special.
What makes the movie great is the fact that it's really just a high school angst movie that is well written and funny. I did not read comics at the time Spider-man was this young, so Toby McGuire's version is more familiar to me. However, if Spiderman was a teen, I think this movie captures that feeling perfectly.
Wonder Woman - This movie is pretty doggone awesome. I can't fault most of it and it is the best super hero movie this year. Actually does the impossible and makes me look forward to the Justice League movie. It manages to keep the same look and feel of the DC universe while being far better story wise. Although the ending was a bit generic, there were at least a couple of action sequences that were pretty cool to see such as the all female army and Wonder Woman's [on the nose] crossing of No Man's Land.
Highly recommended whether a feminist or not
The Handmaiden - To hard to explain but it's a good Korean caper movie with an interesting twist that is explained a bit more than it should be. It's still a lesser known movie that is worth a watch on Amazon
