Fantastic!
notastrawhat13 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
After Into the Spiderverse and Endgame, I had pretty high expectations for Far From Home, and I was completely blown away about how good it is. As always, the cast is great, especially Tom Holland, Jake Gylanhall, and Samuel L. Jackson. The story stays together and never seems to farfetched, unlike other superhero movies (i.e, Captain Marvel; Aquaman). Like other Marvel movies, the writers do a great job with the characters. The way they wrote the characters made even minor ones like Flash, Brad, and Betty entertaining to watch. Jake Gylanhall's Mysterio stands out as being one of the best villians in the MCU. Rather than physically hurting Spider-Man, Mysterio tears him apart on the inside, using Tony Stark's death as an advantage. The effects were great and the action was also some of the best in the MCU. Overal, Spider-Man Far From Home is a great movie and easily one of the best (if not the best) in the MCU. Also, stick around after the credits for two surprises, especially if you are a Raimi fan

Good, yet not Great.
maxim-delaet17 September 2019
That is what I've come to expect from 90% of the Marvel movies. Some are Bad, and very few lean towards being Great.

However childish the movie may feel for some, the story was perfectly fine which is not common for action movies including some of the post 2005 Marvel movies... And even if it doesn't feel very special, unique or whatever you expected it to be, you cannot deny that the directing work was decent to say the least!

Most of all, my 8 out of 10 is earned by the acting in this movie.

P.S.: If you are rating this movie a 1/10 you're simply having issues with it being different from what you were expecting and cannot accept that not every movie is a Stark movie. But I tell you, to be a good reviewer is to see the beauty in differences.

A heck of a lot better than Homecoming.
caidjohnson15 September 2019
I'll be honest right off the bat, I didn't really like Homecoming. In fact, I didn't like it because I felt like Tom Holland was too whiny, or maybe he didn't seem that amazing to me, or something... I'm not sure exactly what it was, I just didn't really care for the first one.

So, I was hesitant to see this one, fearing I'd still have the same feelings for this current generation of Spiderman. Thankfully, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I took my two daughters and my wife, my wife stayed awake for the whole film (this means the movie is good, as she'll fall asleep in almost every movie due to boredom), and I... actually... liked it.

The acting was quite decent, Spiderman seemed a lot more confident than the first one, "coming into his own" sort of thing, the villain was surprising. Yeah, it was all quite good!

I'm really interested to see how Sony is going to do the next one, what with Sony and Marvel having their falling out, but here's hoping it ends well.

If a third doesn't get done in this generation, I feel like it'll become a cursed franchise, doomed to two before inevitably falling on its face.

Who knows... :P

Great movie, so happy it did not disappoint 👍
sorinamgheorghe13 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I had my doubts going to see it, I was hoping not to mess it up and they didn't! It was good, Tom did an amazing job, like he was born to play Peter! And the entire cast was lovely! The reminders to Endgame were timed perfectly and inserted as to not bother but still be present, some explanations were given as to what happened in the 5 year gap with some of them, they were funny and silly and stupid like any teenagers should be. And there was enough action as to keep you tensed. I loved it and I do hope they continue making good Spiderman movies! PS my only question is how come Fury had a phone signal in space!?!

Great Sequel
rstabc22 August 2019
I originally saw Spider-Man Homecoming about a week or so before seeing Far From Home. With the original fresh in mind, this was a very well done sequel. The character development stemmed well from Endgame, with callbacks that seemed fitting. While drawing from the emotion of the previous encounter with Peter Parker, there was well placed comedic moments throughout. Not to mention the impressive cinematography, I would easily recommend.

Straight from the pages of a comic book
bthurman-608633 July 2019
Wow! This movie shocked me with how amazing it was *pun intended*. I've been a Spidey fan for as long as I can remember and this is the best I've seen him in a movie yet, and I can't wait to see what the MCU does with him going forward. If you were worried that Marvel Studios is gonna be declining after Endgame, then this movie will put those worries to rest. Very ready to see what phase 4 has to offer!

Absolutely amazing!
natereed-016515 July 2019
This has to be one of the greatest marvel films ever, the acting, CGI and the story were all phenomenal, really looking forward to the next spider man, and I really hope that Tom Holland stays on as spider man for a lot longer and I hope to see him star in other Marvel films within the MCU!

Damn near perfect!
danielwlottering3 July 2019
This movie is everything I wanted and more! It continues were Endgame left off and it show's the aftermath it left on Peter Parker. Spider-Man Far From Home will leave you with a smile and if you stay for the post credit scenes then it will leave you shocked and happy with other mixed feelings. There are 2 post credit scenes and they are both worth staying for! In my honest opinion it is way better than, Into The Spider Verse and also moving to my number 1 Spider-Man movie!

Teenage Spider-Man in Europe
claudio_carvalho23 September 2019
"Spider-Man: Far from Home" is a typical film for youngsters or fans of Marvel, CGI and explosions. The storyline is silly, the screenplay is not as funny as the writer intended to be and the hero is annoying. Anyway entertains if the viewer has lower expectation and does not have a better option. The cliffhanger in the credits is one of the best scenes. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Homem-Aranha: Longe de Casa" ("Spider-Man: Far from Home")

A step backwards
Leofwine_draca12 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
And so my long Marvel-watching journey comes to an end; I've finally caught up with the endless franchise, after what seems like eons playing catch-up with the rest of the world's population. Sadly, this SPIDER-MAN sequel is a real step down from the highs of AVENGERS: ENDGAME, and a feeling like they've gone backwards given how they learnt what worked so well previously. Personally, I've found both of Holland's outings as the web-slinging hero to be middling at best.

This one starts off okay, with a first half mixing the usual lame high school gags and characterisation with some decent and destructive set-pieces; Jake Gyllenhaal is a nice choice of supporting actor too. However, a crucial twist halfway through renders the second half extremely mundane, building to a climax which is silly and predictable as it is hollow and contrived. Fans tend to lap this stuff up due to its well-meaning nature, but I expect a lot more from this kind of budget.

The ending chapter of MCU phase 3
austin073111 August 2019
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.

Jake Gyllenhal's mysterio was one of the best MCU villains in my opinion, making Spider-Man one of the strongest franchises in terms of its rogue gallery in cinematic form. With Vulture and Mysterio bein two of the most interesting and complex in MCU history. Spider-man: far from home was a great palate cleanser that prepares us for the next chapter in the epic MCU saga.

I am now more excited than ever about the potential of storylines, characters and the MCU multiverse.

BEST Spidey Movie by far
don-curtis6913 July 2019
Hands down, the best Spiderman movie and high on the list of best in MCU. Great "look & feel", laugh out loud humor, and REAL SPIDEY-esque fights. Jake Gyllenhaal is awesome as Mysterio and the character development and portrayal alone are worth the price of admission. Also, definitely worth the 3D bump. Kudos Marvel and Sony. A masterpiece.

Amazing
srogers-369686 July 2019
I didn't think any Spider-Man movie could top Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 2, but I was happily proven wrong.

The storyline and villain is (in my opinion) one of the best marvel has created, the action scenes and cgi were incredible, the dialogue (as always) was perfectly balanced and entertaining, and the acting was spot-on; Tom Holland really shines.

Can't wait to see what comes next in the franchise, especially after that end credit scene!

Peter Parker - The Avenger / The Kid
CactusCult4 July 2019
Marvel has proven that they can maintain smaller stories that more than hold up to epics like infinity war/endgame. Peter struggles to grow into his role as Spider-man after the passing of Tony Stark (may he rest in peace) and each character evolves in a new way under the pressures of romance and an amazingly written villain with an incredible amount of character depth. This is an absolute must-see.

Popcorn thrills galore in this frenetic and fun Spiderman adventure
isaacj022 July 2019
In the wake of the bombastic success of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios return here with a smaller yet still lively summer flick starring everyone's favourite neighbourhood superhero. Turns out audiences are not the only ones who need to recover from the furore of recent events in the MCU (not least Thanos' genocidal antics now christened in-universe as 'The Blip'). Spider-Man: Far From Home sees our titular hero take a well-earned rest as he embarks on a school trip to Europe with his friends. He doesn't even pack his trusty suit... it's time for a bit of normality. Of course, events don't quite turn out as expected and Peter is dragged swiftly back into the world-saving game, this time to battle the multidimensional Elementals and other hidden and perhaps even more dangerous enemies. Much of the creative talent behind 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming return for this spirited and entertaining sequel that ends up being satisfying both for its character and in its place in the ever-widening MCU. Tom Holland dons the webbed suit yet again as Spider-Man; if he wasn't brilliant before, this time he seems even more comfortable in the role, delivering a charming, vulnerable and seemingly effortless performance. Director Jon Watts also returns proving himself to be a sure hand, his clear vision for the film shining through with distinctive style. There's a notable new addition however in writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers who deliver a smart script, often hilarious and always genuine. Far From Home is certainly a Spider-Man film on a sheer scale we haven't seen before; largely, it's handled quite well, remaining mostly grounded amid globe-trotting and narrative twists and turns. Occasionally, we lose some of the cohesion and it feels a little overstuffed and expository, but honestly this film is so fast-paced and energetic you can't help but enjoy the ride even when everything doesn't quite jell. Equally, there are far too many brilliant aspects to take in; take for instance the seamless action sequences which are neatly interchanged with intimate and believable drama. The temptation with movies of this kind is to fall into mindless action and forget the substance but Far From Home keeps its characters purely at its heart. There's nice references, for example, to Endgame that really inform Peter's arc in the film and provide the film's understated yet decidedly emotional impact. Whilst the overall package might not be as tight as its predecessor, Far From Home makes appropriate attempts to hone in on some characters and narrative vignettes in more detail (for example, Zendaya's MJ is far more fleshed out here and Peter's own sense of identity and responsibility is thoughtfully explored). Again, it's not all plain sailing; Jake Gyllenhaal's Syndrome-esque Mysterio is very hit and miss, his great moments bogged down by some of the lesser writing and obligatorily clunky exposition. In the end, however, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an impressive film, more than making up for its faults. It's fiercely entertaining, packed full of humour, action thrills and plenty of unexpected twists to keep the audience gripped (speaking of which, stay for two critical post-credits scenes). Equally, there's some fantastic visual effects work that sometimes even echoes of the illusionary sequences in Doctor Strange. Jon Watts and his team deliver a satisfying sequel here full of interesting choices yet still staying true to the style established in Homecoming. Ultimately, regardless of its position in the Marvel canon, Far From Home has all the elements of the perfect summer popcorn movie; action thrills, big laughs, a likeable cast and brilliant visuals really allow it to recover from momentary snags and reach the finish line in splendour. Expertly crafted and with an unabashed sense of fun, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an assured Marvel instalment that hungers for a rewatch.

Fed up with watching an immature Spider-Man. 4/10
leonblackwood15 February 2020
Review: Will they ever get this franchise right? I really wasn't a fan of this film because the whole "teenager on a school trip" concept was ridiculous, and the script was awful. They tried there utmost to make it funny, but it just didn't work, and Tom Holland's constant whining about how much he wanted to be with his school friends, and trying to get the girl, became tedious after a while. I can't believe that Spider-man went through the whole of Infinity War and Endgame, saving the world with the Avengers, and ended up dodging Nick Fury's calls because he wanted to be with his friends. On top of that, the humongous creatures that were attacking Europe weren't enough for the school to cancel the trip, which was totally unrealistic. The major twist in the film was also written badly, which was a shame because I actually liked Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) before he turned dark. On the plus side, I did like seeing the aftermath of Tony Stark death, and how the so-called "blip" affected the world, but with all that in mind, Spider-man still was acting like an immature teenager, even though he was heavily involved in the battle against Thanos. The whole drone concept was also completely ridiculous, and the fact that no one realised that it was all an illusion, blew my mind. Although I found the film disappointing, Tom Holland is a good Spider-man, in terms of his movements and action scenes, but I think it's about time that he took his role as a super-hero seriously. I don't know how close the character is to the comics, so I can't totally blame the director for his vision but I'm really getting fed up with his boyish behaviour, especially after Tony Stark took him under his wing. The action scenes made the film watchable, even though they were extremely far-fetched, and the ending left the franchise open for many possibilities, but I still expected more after Endgame. Disappointing!

Round-Up: This movie was directed by Jon Watts, who also brought you Cop Car, starring Kevin Bacon, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was also disappointing. He's returning to direct another Spider-Man movie, which is due out in July 2021, after Tom Holland saved the film from cancellation by forcing renegotiations with Sony and Disney. It's the 28th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with other movies being released from the MCU franchise beforehand, the plot of the next Spider-Man is unknown. I hope they show a different side to this character because the gullible Spider-Man concept has been done to death.

Budget: $160million Worldwide Gross: $1.13billion

Genre: Action, Adventure. Sci-Fi Cast: Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, J.K. Simmons, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, J.B. Smoove, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Cobie Smulders and Numan Acar. 4/10

awesome
wijayaudi3 July 2019
Tense action, romance, comedy, visual effects, sadness united and made the story very lossful to miss a second. Tom Holland made the spiderman live again after Tobie, forget Andrew (no ofense). Don't forget the credit scene, it's very important.
