I love that the Superman movies give you such a real character. Peter Parker just screams awkward teenager and it's hilarious to watch. The mishaps and real crisis he faces. And Misterio is so well done. He really draws you in and has you going. But that post credit ending man! I still get frustrated just thinking about it.
Just such a fun joyful movie. Plus it's the closest thing to a MCU Marvel Zombies adaptation as we're ever likely to get. I loved thr visuals and humor. This movie will make your peter tingle
“What the fu - !”
After the devastating, yet spectacularly epic “Endgame”, I was incredibly curious about ‘Far From Home’ continuation on an event of a satisfying conclusion. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, Spider-man was always my favorite hero growing up. I think it’s the grounded side to the character that I connect with the most. When the movie began with a “I will always love you” by Whitney Houston, I was both hooked and emotionally moved.
‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ is a solid adventure that’s self aware enough of it’s own cheesy plot. From start till finish I was entertained with some of the jokes and how great of a character Peter Parker/Spider-Man truly is. The movie itself approaches ‘the snap’ with the sense of “meh, not a big deal”, type of humor, but grief is always afloat.
This also contains two post credit scenes that’s one of the best in the franchise. Trust me, everybody’s reaction in the cinema was priceless.
Tom Holland once again made the web shooter his own and with each entry seems to smooth into the character - capturing both the nerdy side with awkward humor, but also having the weight on his shoulders to live up to Tony Stark’s legendary image. I thought Holland is fantastic during the more hard hitting scenes when the situation gets too heavy for Peter, which reminds the audience the human side of the hero.
I also thought the scenes between Peter and MJ were so sweet and quirky. I’m glad Zendaya had more to do this time around than the first movie, and isn’t playing the stereotypical superhero's love interest.
Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio was both charisma and a absolute blast to watch. It’s unfortunate that I can’t go into the reasons why, as fear of taking away the mystery for people who haven’t seen it yet. Lets just say they did the character justice and Gyllenhaal (as usual) did a great job.
Jon Watts certainly has improved in terms of directing action sequences, which I would imagine it being tough for him since he came from a small budget background. While still a bit lackluster in parts, but the set pieces and the execution is much better. The way he directs the Mysterio segments can be best described as a trippy nightmare that some shots have implanted in my head as I’m writing this.
However, my issues with the first movie in terms of cinematography and humor sadly still stands - more bad this time as the journey around Europe with beautiful and breathtaking views. I’ve been to Venice a few years ago and they wasted the opportunity of showing it off. And again, the humor is always placed in the least appropriate parts after something dramatic happens.
There’s a few predicable scenes scattered through out and it’s annoying when the movie acts like it’s a huge shock.
Also, I can’t be the only one that thought the transition of the opening scene with Mysterio to Whitney Houston song “I will always love you”, was a little jarring and out of place.
Overall rating: Despite the issues, ‘Far From Home’ is another solid entry from our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. A few years ago in my ‘Homecoming’ review, I noted about that the heart and soul of the Raimi films were missing, although now with time passed and new thoughts, the heart and soul is always there, just presented in a different vision.
I liked the movie's special effects in itself (seen on 4K), but the connection between the characters without having seen the other marvel studio movies really gets a bit confusing and even more not having seen the prequel.
My score 7/10.
"A breezily unpredictable blend of teen romance and superhero action."
Best Live Action Spidey Movie In My Opinion
awesome movie, glad they making 3rd part
Finally Mysterio gets the recognition that he deserves.
I was expecting how they were gonna do all of the Mysterio's “tricks" in the movie, and I actually loved it.
This is good film nice
Spider-Man hits the road in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Peter Parker’s European school trip is interrupted when a superhero named Mysterio, who’s from an alternate Earth, shows up and asked for his help to defeat an Elemental. Unfortunately, as the first post-Endgame Marvel film, Far From Home has the extra burden of resetting the Marvel Universe; which comes off as kind of awkward in this story about a high school trip. And while it does some good things with Parker dealing with the loss of his mentor (Tony Stark), there’s too much Iron Man in this Spider-Man movie. A mess from start to finish (though still entertaining), Spider-Man: Far From Home is disappointing both as a MCU film and a Spider-Man film.
Somehow, however, they manage to push the story furrther after all this reset. ;>
im so shocked and confused about that ending tbh. like what's gonna happen now?!!! im just, wow!!
How Can I Watch The Movie? I can't
Excellent. Probably the best spidey movie so far. Fantastic effects. Good story. Well worth a watch.
Great Spider-Man movie. It's lighthearted and fun. Jake Gyllenhaal stole the show but all the characters get a moment to shine. Not as good as Endgame, but a fun romp through Europe that's perhaps the most adventurous and unique Spider-Man film made thus far.
Tom continues to be incredibly likable as Spider-Man, and dare I say hella charismatic this time around. I was kind of 'meh' about Jake's performance at first but I started to enjoy him after he flipped. Though I wish he would've been more psychotic. The humor, soundtrack, AUNT MAY, and all the other characters are still as awesome as ever. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
The only problem I had with it was Zendaya is always acting like she's got a hangover or something. IDK if it's a character choice or if it's just how she is. Every time she's on screen the energy of the movie shifts to a less exciting place.
I loved this. The plot was almost perfect and the CGI was on point. However, what I really loved was J. K. Simmons' cameo and the post-credits scenes. All in all, I think this was a great movie for the new Marvel era to begin with :)
Saw it today and couldn't stop laughing, a fresh and funny summer movie :)
I'll give it a 9/10 for a chill movie and a lot of fun
Something about MJ standing firm, wielding that mace, seems worthy of an approving I-like-this-one look from Thor.
I have some problems with this movie. A parachute shaped like a spider is stupid. That would serve to give you terrible drag. The joke about "we need to talk about you and my aunt" is a great joke in the absolutely worst place possible. It makes no sense in that scene. The scene where Spider-Man goes full Iron Man is stupid. Because Spider-Man isn't Iron Man. They're completely different characters not the same character with different powers. Tony Stark is a tech obsessive genius. Peter Park is a smart kid who grapples with morality.
I think it says a lot about the film that my problems with it are in the end so small. There's LOT I loved about it. Mysterio was done brilliantly. With the exception of his death. I think Marvel is starting to develop a problem of killing off their villains. Killmonger and now Mysterio. Both of these (along with Vulture of all characters) are great. They were acted well. they were written well. They were genuine but not overly exaggerated threats. They're the type of villain the comic book superhero movies need. The type that can realistically come back and be taken seriously. And yet they are killed it's frustrating. Hopefully Mysterio's fate will be revealed to be more ambiguous.
If you've seen the trailers you know that Mary Jane figures out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and it is both touching and funny in the unique way that Spider-Man films are. I think there are too many Spider-Man films. I think he's a character that's done to death. Everything about him is done to death. And yet... Homecoming managed to charm me after the horrendous clowning that was done in Amazing Spider-Man (Great PP, Bad SM) with a Peter Parker that felt fun and a Spider-Man that felt different enough.
About the after film scenes. There are two one mid credits and one post credits. I was told there were good and honestly they were. Quite possibly the best after film scenes of the MCU. I'm glad they got J. Jonah Jameson back and having Nick Fury be a Skrull does answer the post Avengers question of "Why is this world ending event down to this movies superhero". It's been a problem since the first Avengers movie.
Spider-Man: Far From Home is like a favourite nephew who's cute as the dickens when he's a tot and then grows up into a nice enough kid you still want to spend time with, only he's not as special as he was when he was young.
No longer your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man film, the web slinger makes his entry into the grown-up world of Avenger movies. Sadly, when he grew up and hit the road he left his heart and soul back at Homecoming.
The action in Far From Home is handled deftly, the special effects are entertaining and there are even some touching moments regarding the end of the MCU phase 3, but in becoming a tent-pole holding up the new MCU, it stops being a fun little Spider-Man movie.
Not as good as Homecoming and that is entirely due to villain. I wasn't sure I thought this was the right villain for this version of Spidey to begin with, but really...it just didn't work at all. The rest of the movie buoyed that soggy corner, though, and made for a worthwhile ride. The merciful 2 hour runtime was filled with action and funny moments...it just doesn't stand up well against the first film. 7/10
so cute spider man spider man

Acting was fine, story was "meh." Previous Spider-Man solo movie was better, of course "Civil War" was good with his "cameo" but this... It wasnt bad but I expected more.

Really fun movie. Loved the European element to it. This movie seemed more lighthearted than the previous Spider-Man movies and that suits me fine. All in all it’s a good time.
