The whole film is a relentless flurry of action and adventure from the get-go, with the man himself sporting no less than four different spider suits (for all the mega fans out there). Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) gets a look-in once again after her very disappointing absence from 99.99% of ‘Endgame’, but she’s wasted on screen, serving little to no purpose. And while this film finally gives us a Peter/MJ love story, it’s all too familiar territory - not because of the characters involved but because we saw Peter pursue a crush in ‘Homecoming’. We also saw him try to balance the student/hero sides of his life then too. This is THIS Peter Parker’s fifth time on the rollercoaster. We’ve seen him and fell in love with him as the sweet, innocent kid who had greatness thrust upon him and his thirst to be a superhero. He had his shot in the ring - several times in fact - and now we need to see him grow, but they’ve just given us much of the same. We need to know where this is going, not just watch a kid play dress-ups time and time again. - Jess Fenton Read Jess' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-spider-man-far-from-home-in-a-post-iron-man-world-spideys-still-the-same-insecure-kid

Rewatched for the Once Upon a Franchise podcast. Listen to the full episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2i1JSrpI0r6or1IpqocOBR?si=4gDf3zm9QGazNsmjrGzM7Q Rating: B- SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME is a film I still like, but damn, does it go down on a rewatch. Jake Gyllenhaal's commitment to Mysterio and those two major illusion set pieces remain genuinely some of the best CGI action Spider-Man has ever gotten on screen, and the fake-news messaging underneath it all still feels sharp and uncomfortably relevant. But this viewing made clear just how much the film leans on momentum and charm to paper over a villain plan that collapses under scrutiny, a structure that hops between cities with almost no logistical grace, and a Tony Stark / Iron Man legacy throughline that, for the first time, actually makes me sympathize with the "Iron Boy Jr." crowd I usually roll my eyes at. Layer on the fact that NO WAY HOME and BRAND NEW DAY now exist and have shown me what this saga is capable of at its absolute best, and this second installment can't help but feel like the transitional, slightly overstuffed middle chapter it always was — fun, well-performed, occasionally brilliant, but the first Spider-Man MCU entry where the seams really show for me.

Problems: I thought the Gyllenhaal character was corny, Spidey taking selfies too out of character for a selfless hero, and the Fury twist throughout the movie really unnecessary. What I liked: Tom Holland continues to be a charming actor.

There's a some things in _Spider-Man: Far From Home_ that I personally didn't love. But I got **exactly** what I wanted from Mysterio, and that was so important to me. It's pretty amazing that the MCU is twenty three films deep, and they're still bringing out this sort of quality. I know this series is not for everyone. But until they start making movies I don't like, I'm gonna keep showing up. _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._

I just came home with the kids from the cinema where we had watched Spider-Man: Far From Home so I thought I would write a few lines while it was still fresh in my mind. I have to say that it was a decent enough movie. I didn’t exactly regret having forked out the money to watch it in the cinema but that’s about it. It’s far from a great movie and the end scene…well it’s a typical really crappy Hollywood ending where the writer cannot be bothered to spend time creating something intelligent so he just goes for the usual sensationalist cliffhanger bullshit. As with the previous movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, this is a Spider-Man for kids, or at least younger people, movie which perhaps is part of why I am somewhat lukewarm towards it. This one did not feel as childish as the previous one but there is still a lot of teenage angst and rubbish in it. The plot is of course highly predictable as well. The special effects on the other hand are quite good and essentially what makes the movie worth watching. At least to me. The end fight with hundreds of those drones flying around intermixed with Mysterio’s illusions where quite cool. A bit over the top perhaps but cool nonetheless.

I liked it okay, I guess. Tom Holland was good and shared good chemistry with Zendaya and some of the action was okay, but the so-called plot was rather weak and how it forced into the Iron Man movies fell flat, as did Gyllenhaal post-turn including an awkwardly written exposition scene. Definitely not as good as Homecoming and really reminded me why Marvel proper (mostly) is better at this than Sony-Marvel.
