"Spider-Man: Far From Home" is your average Marvel Studios summer movie, a lighter note to wash off the bitterness of "Avengers: Endgame".
It tries harder than "Homecoming" but unfortunately fails at being as genuine and fun. The whole field trip section in the first half felt like a Disney Channel drama from the early 2000s, lame humor included (god, that bus scene). However, things start to get into the right mood after the (obvious) plot twist. Gyllenhaal's Mysterio is not the same character as the comics but was unexpectedly spot-on. I hated him as he fought the "Elementals" and acted as the corny superhero from another dimension, but after his true intentions are unveiled it all made sense. He was a fun and charismatic villain, as arrogant and over the top as it takes. The scenes he tricks Spidey with visual effects and shapeshifting were also pretty cool. Too bad it looks like he won't stick around.
