"Sigh of Relief After Endgame"
Note: I highly suggest you don't read my review if you haven't yet watched the movie.
SPOILERS AHEAD! 🚩
Spider-Man: Far From Home exudes Marvel class on creating a comical tale for the famed slinging superhero after all the events post-Endgame / post-Infinity War. With Iron Man's sacrifice comes media frenzy for a potential successor; Spider-Man, maybe? With all the pressure around, from Iron Man's death, Aunt May's knowing of Peter Parker's superhero alter ego to another villain up for battle, how will Spidey deal with challenges after "The Blip" when all he wanted was a decent teenage life to spend with his overly weird yet pretty crush.
While the Elementals were shown as destructive on the movie's trailers, Mysterio is the true new super villain that Spider-Man has to fight against in this film. Mysterio settles on fake saving the universe on a sinister attempt to fool Spidey and also gaining worldwide traction to move forward his plans. The problem with today's society relies on what news are real and not real without thinking their real ramifications may it be political, social or economical. It easily targets how people easily believe despite not delving further to the details. The real world threat of fake news is to be despised just as how we disliked what Mysterio was proliferating in this film.
The deal that Sony struck with Marvel Studios (currently owned by Disney) is one of the best decisions they made so recent making better Spider-Man films, both visually and narratively, than it's two "Amazing" predecessors whilst, if not surpassing, matching the three "Sam Raimi" original they made only with a more comedic and vibrant tone. Everything seems to follow Endgame with precision while giving due respect to the heroes of the past. Visual effects are aplenty and done masterful especially when the holograms and illusions are presented. Europe is a great choice for being ground zero of the movie, one to look forward are the colorful tulips from The Netherlands. While there are some direction I didn't like, acting was really spot-on. Tom Holland's take on Spider-Man is oh so amazing making the superhero franchise a must watch come future phases of the MCU.
Here are some noteworthy points I had on watching "Spider-Man: Far From Home":
➕ Tom Holland
- Debate me on this but I think Tom Holland might be the best portrayal of the web-slinging superhero (against Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield). Age-wise, Tom Holland seems the right pick for Spider-Man. Acting-wise, he manages to bring a fresher youthful vibe to the superhero corresponding to both comic books and the real-life modern teenage experience.
➕ Continuity After Endgame
- Far From Home corresponds to the events that happened after "Avengers: Endgame". They referred the return of all those who were lost after the snap as "The Blip", the people who stayed gained age while the people who were snapped retained their looks. Life goes on as normal and usual after the snap. Spider-Man: Far From Home is a true sigh of relief after all events Infinity War/Endgame. It acts as a refreshing ending to Marvel's Phase Three of films.
➕ Iron Man Respects
- I missed seeing the man on the iron suit especially after numerous hints at the character's death being shown in Far From Home. Much question in this film delves on whether Spider-Man will be the next Iron Man. If you've watched the Iron Man films, there are too many parallelisms integrated in this film. Else, Spidey's admiration for Iron Man is intense in this movie.
➕ Suit Creation
- One scene in particular I like in Far From Home. After an emotional talk with Happy, Spider-Man gets to act like Iron Man by designing his own suit along
➕ Mysterio and Illusions
-
➕ After Homecoming
-
➕ MJ
-
➕ EDITH Glasses
-
➕ Europe Tour
-
➕ Post Credits #1
-
➖ Drone / Web-Slinging Direction
-
With 10 positive points and 1 negative points,
"Spider-Man: Far From Home" is a 8.7/10 for me.

Cinematography: 9/10, Costume & Make-up: 8/10, Production Design: 9/10, Sound: 9/10)
