The bad guy in Spiderman Homecoming is unforgettable this time -Do see

• If you’re fed up with the boring bad guys in superhero movies that are completely forgettable, then this is another reason why you need to see “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (in theaters Friday).

Michael Keaton as one of Spidey’s oldest rivals, Adrian Toomes (aka Vulture), delivers a performance that is playfully chilling and seeped with real stakes. Days after seeing the movie, I’m still recalling moments from Keaton’s performance, which I feel is kind of a big deal. I couldn’t tell you the names of the villains from most of the superhero movies I’ve seen the last few years.

If there’s one thing all the recent movies based on comics have in common, whether it’s Marvel or DC Comics, it’s that there isn’t much thought put into how to portray the villains – outside of making sure they are pure evil.

Dormammu (“Doctor Strange”), Enchantress (“Suicide Squad”), Yellowjacket (“Ant-Man”), Doomsday (“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”) – yes, I had to look up the names of these villains because they were that forgettable – all looked really menacing, but that’s about it. The most tolerable of late have been David Thewlis as Sir Patrick/Ares in “Wonder Woman,” and Kurt Russell’s Ego in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” But Keaton gave Vulture a style and wicked swagger that puts him up there as one of the best villains in recent memory.

Since his first appearance in “The Amazing Spider-Man” #2 comic back in 1963, Toomes has been a favorite for his blue collar roots and motivation to give payback to those who tried to pull a fast one on him.
