Spider-Man: Far From Home is a fantastic film and the best Spider-Man film yet. This movie is about Peter Parker aka Spider-Man whose European vacation is interrupted when monsters begin causing natural disasters all over the world. Tom Holland continues to be the perfect casting for the title role. He nails Peter’s awkwardness while also not missing a beat as the more snarky Spider-Man. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a fantastic performance as Mysterio, a new superhero who befriends Peter. The way he plays the character will please newcomers and hardcore fans alike. Zendaya gives a great performance and is much improved here from the last film. Her dynamic and chemistry with Holland is off the chart and is easily one of the best romances in any comic book film. Jon Favreau finally gets his chance to shine in a small but crucial supporting role. He is involved in some of the film's best scenes. Sam Jackson turns in yet another strong and funny performance as Nick Fury. Marisa Tomei has less to do this time, but is still quite good in her reduced role. Jacob Batalon and Angourie Rice are hilarious in their side plot. Jon Watts did an incredible job directing. While he already nailed the high school dynamic in the previous film it was lacking in the action department. This movie fixes that issue by keeping the high school element as strong as ever while considerably ramping up the action sequences. This is the best Spider-Man action we’ve ever seen. One sequence, in particular, is one of my favorite scenes in any comic book film ever. The visual effects are all fantastic and never broke my immersion. At 129 minutes the pacing is very good. If I had any flaw for this movie it would be that despite never being boring you do feel the length of the runtime. Overall, Spider-Man: Far From Home is yet another fantastic entry into the MCU and should please casuals and hardcore fans alike.
9.5/10
P.S. There are two post-credits scenes that you must stay for.
