Spider-Man Far From Home

POSITIVES…

  • Having the epilogue story for Avengers: Endgame be a Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero take on the European Vacation Adventure Comedy genre is simply brilliant!

  • Give Director Jon Watts some extra credit for pulling off so many enjoyable set pieces through a wide variety of different set locations.

  • Does a good job being mostly a plot driven movie, but I’ll give acknowledgement to some of the themes that the story is tackling.

  • The whole cast was like a finely tuned ensemble group. Tom Holland is amazing in his role, but kudos to the rest of the cast for their equally spectacular work here.

  • Besides Holland, standouts for me were Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon, Samuel L Jackson, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, J.B. Smoove, Zendaya, and of course Jake Gyllenhaal as Quentin Beck AKA Mysterio.

  • There were definitely a lot of fun comedy bits found throughout the movie. Loved the humor!

  • The running jokes. Who doesn’t love running jokes? This movie has some very entertaining ones.

  • Several of the heart to heart moments between certain characters, were done really well.

  • Some of those action sequences, especially during the final act, were just a blast to watch.

  • Fantastic mid-credits and post-credits scenes. Wow!!!

NEGATIVES…

  • There are some moments that relies a little too much on coincidences and conveniences.

  • A few scenes that slowed the momentum of the movie more than I would have preferred. Some would call those scenes “pee breaks.”

  • Kinda predictable in certain ways.

  • As a comic book fan, I regret to say that there was one particular reveal that just didn’t hit as hard to me, as it probably would have to non-comic book readers. Not the movie’s fault really. Just saying.

P.S….

LOVED IT enjoyeditlikedititsokayitsmehitsterrible
