Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) by Masterriley — 01 Aug 2019

Far From Home might as well have a laugh track throughout. Dont get me wrong, I still like this movie, but I wanted to love it. The movie tries way too hard to make you laugh constantly that it feels like you can never take it seriously.

Homecoming, as well as other Spider-Man movies, at least balance out the humour with serious and emotional moments. But onto the positives, like Homecoming, Tom Holland and the rest of the cast gives great performances and the story overall is really cool.

I like how it takes place in Europe rather than New York, which is very unique for a Spider-Man movie. Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio is great; I like how rather than being a straight up villain from the get go he appears to be a good guy.

But its pretty predictable that he was going to turn against Peter. The action in the movie is great, especially those scenes where Peter/Spider-Man is moving through Mysterio's visions (those scenes are simply amazing and should have been way longer).

Overall its a good movie that Spidey and MCU fans will still enjoy, despite maybe being a little too heavy on jokes.
