Spider-Man: Far From Home

The best part of Far From Home is Samuel L. Jackson, whose Nick Fury single-handedly elevates the movie from a C to a B+.

It's an affable film. It's a pivot film, is what it is... It's lighter and has a good deal more in common with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the shot of fun you need at this point in the long-running Avengers franchise. It's not essential viewing but it's an amiable diversion. And do stick around for the end credits.

This does a nice job of doing the European vacation schoolboy thing that just happens to have a superhero element in it.

This is a zippy, funny movie - a scene where Peter shares a jail cell with three Dutch football fans is a treat - with excellent special effects. It races by in two hours without any boring detours.

The stakes this time turn out to be considerably lower, and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Teen is arguably just the guy to bring things down to Earth and reestablish a human scale.

In general terms, although the movie is entertaining, it does not have great original contributions to the genre and loses dynamism due to the schematic reiteration of both the protagonist's personal situations and the confrontations with the enemy.

The cast is brilliant, especially Tom Holland who cements his spot as the best on-screen web-slinger ever. It’s the movie the MCU needed after the tragic events of Avengers: Endgame.

The second Holland Spider-Man film feels almost underrated at this point by comparison to what followed it, as it was a spirited Spidey romp through Europe with Jake Gyllenhaal’s engaging take on Mysterio.



[The story] has a lot of parallels to the lessons we all learn growing up, in that we have to balance our enjoyment of life with our responsibilities as working adults. I thought it was a well written film.
