There’s no anguish there, as there was when he strained to hold a severed ferry together during “Homecoming,” or as there was when Tobey Maguire stopped a subway train from launching into the sea. There’s just FOMO and uncertainty and the feeling that people will believe in anything — no matter how dangerous it might be — before they believe in themselves. This Spider-Man film has a little romance , a lot of action and a sense of humour . I enjoyed the College trip to Europe plot with great cities like Prague, Venice ,London , each with their own threatening Monster , real or imagined. Now that I have got that out of the way I will do a proper review of this movie. After, Iron Man dies at the end of the last movie Peter is struggling to cope after all of thing Tony taught him in the previous movies.

Filled with doubts about his ability to live up to Stark’s legacy, Parker finds a sympathetic ear and a new mentor in Mysterio, who cuts an eccentric-but-dashing figure as he flies around slicing up the Elementals like… well, like a much-needed Iron Man surrogate. This film has the best Spider-Man scene that has ever been filmed. It's not just visually stunning, but emotionally charged like no other.

Spider-Man: Far from Home review – Peter Parker’s teenage kicks

Writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers spin a lot of web from the veneer of a story, but their script strains belief at every turn, and the jokes are the only part of it that sticks; it’s never a good sign when both of a film’s most significant plot points are buried in the closing credits. For all of its frequent charm, the most generous thing you can say about “Far From Home” is that it’s the third-best Spider-Man movie of the last seven months (if “Endgame” counts towards Holland’s contract, then it also counts against him here). I feel a bit unqualified to review Marvel Action comic movies as I haven't seen many but today just felt like an escape movie and I really enjoyed this Spider Man franchise film. Jon Watt's direction is fantastic with thrillingly acrobatic action sequences and some mind bending surrealism. The CG is incredible and it's consistently very funny without undercutting major emotional moments.

But as a whole, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been better at delivering great characters than delivering great action. On that score, Far From Home largely echoes—but never exceeds—what returning director Jon Watts already accomplished in Homecoming. The fresh-faced, squeaky-voiced Holland remains an ideal avatar for Peter Parker, balancing teenage gawkiness with bone-deep goodness.

The story for the movie was very good, while it is not as good Endgame in terms of best movie from the MCU but was far more enjoyable than Captain Marvel. Heck, even Nick Fury agreed with me in the movie about Captain Marvel. I am not sure on how it could be improved possibly just did force the romance between Betty and Ned but that is all.

Sony has asked critics not to reveal what happens from there (and I won’t), but there really isn’t much to spoil. A villain emerges, bellowing some half-baked Trumpian garbage about how easy it is to fool people who are already fooling themselves — could this be The Superhero Movie We Need Right Now? — and using drones in a way that confirms them as the most boring technological plot device since it was decided that every modern spy thriller had to revolve around stealing ominous surveillance tools.

Zendaya Talks Hopes for Rue in 'Euphoria' Season Three: "A Little Bit of Happiness and a Little Bit of Joy"

This is one of the best movies in MCU and sets the course for it's future as its main protagonists are gone. Rather, “Far from Home” follows the dictates of the series with a solemn and pharisaical rigidity, pursuing the didactic simplicity of its bland heroics with little other than a few snappy comebacks to distract from the lockstep drama. In the process, the movie doesn’t bother to establish its own ground rules of reality or truth.

Peter, who isn’t ready for any real adult responsibility despite the fact that he’s already defeated Michael Keaton and helped save half of all life in the universe, is eager for the chance to just be an awkward kid for a few weeks, but Aunt May packs his Spider-Man suit just in case. The movie is a breath of fresh air, a fun romp through Europe with your favourite friendly neighborhood spider-man. Well written and acted, this movie again threads the line between a typical Marvel movie and a Highschool teen comedy, this time feeling especially fresh after the high stakes epic that Endgame was.

REVIEW: Image Comics' I Hate Fairyland #2

Within the scope of a single year, we’ve gotten the best Spider-Man movie ever, the best Spider-Man video game ever, and the biggest crossover superhero movie ever made, with an emotional climax that hinged on... Back in New York, Peter is struggling under the weight of his superhero responsibilities. He feels the need to step up following the death of his mentor Tony Stark, but clearly wants a simpler life as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. It’s unfortunate but possibly true that the best scene in the film comes early on, when Peter tries to strategically arrange things on the long flight to Venice so he can sit next to MJ.

But for the casual movie goers and children it could be a Fun and Light hearted ride. The humour could have improved but I really liked the 'night monkey joke' they added. The acting once again was brilliant Tom Holland continues to impress me as Spider-Man and as well as the rest of the cast. The best bit was when Spider-Man was fighting Mysterio and they changed setting constantly during the fight with his illusions and the brilliant use of CGI.

I am now more excited than ever about the potential of storylines, characters and the MCU multiverse. The closing chapter to the MCU's phase 3, Spider-man far from home brilliantly ends the arc of Tony Stark and the initial trilogy of MCU phases. It was a blend of paying respects to the past but building and looking into the future of the MCU, all packed into a charming Spider-man movie filled with fun and excitement.

There are some terrifically trippy sequences that showcase the coolness of Mysterio. Gyllenhaal brings his typical great performance and is one of the better Marvel villains. Far From Home is loads of fun and a great segue into the next era of the MCU. As for the evil illusions themselves, they’re in accordance with the entire movie’s cinema-by-numbers approach. I’m reminded of Norman Mailer’s remark that the only characters that novelists cannot create are novelists better than themselves.

There's a huge amount of craft and talent , especially the CGI artists that contribute to these films but if they're flat and just macho crash bang boom action I don't find them entertaining. Gyllenhaal also shines as Misterio, finally giving the great villain a worthy screen adaptation, and although the story is a bit convoluted, it certainly doesn't defy it's own internal logic. Technically, it was just fine, considering the previous films and the spectacular CGI we are so fond of ; it's just ordinary. Other characters such as MJ, NED they failed to make any impact as I would have expected them to! The only characters that brought some charisma were Happy and Nick Fury. Even our main antagonist Mysterio aka Quenten Beck was massively underdeveloped.

The film was supposed to be filled with Raw Emotions and Struggles after What just happened before in the timeline. Peter's character should have shown some Remorse or sense of responsibility after the tragic death of his mentor cum father figure Tony Stark. But he instead goes on in his life with his usual teenage troubles and the girl he is in love with. Now that I wouldn't have any complaints with if the other aspects of his true identity were intact.
