Um þessa kvikmynd

Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Our friendly neighborhood Super Hero decides to join his best friends Ned, MJ, and the rest of the gang on a European vacation. However, Peter’s plan to leave super heroics behind for a few weeks is quickly scrapped when he begrudgingly agrees to help Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks. Spider-Man and Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) join forces to fight the havoc unleashed across the continent but all is not as it seems.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Bottom tier MCU film that is, at times, laughable (in a bad way). The CGI is also pretty bad at times, which is surprising for a modern movie with hundreds of millions of dollars behind it. Never wanted to see Far From Home in the first place as I thought Homecoming was pretty weak, but I've heard good things about No Way Home and figured I should give this a chance just so I'm somewhat caught up. My biggest beef (which applies to most MCU films) is their lack of tone consistency.

Spoiler alert. MCU spiderman who basically spent his short existence being the virtual son of Iron Man; now becomes lost in depression; mourning the loss of his father figure mentor (post endgame). The antagonist is a poor man's Loki without the Frost giant heritage or the Asgardian enchantment. A disgruntled employee. Along with a group people in the same boat concoct and elaborate illusion scheme and for the most part pull it off to get what only one of them actually wants.

This is a 7/10, I thoroughly belive Tom Holland is the best Peter Parker ever to grace the screen. His awkward high school moments just work perfectly. And I thought the other cast did terrific as well. But they did the same kind of twist as they did in Iron Man 3, and It kind of ruined a bit of the movie for me. But I can overlook it due to the fun this film brings to the screen, and its very watchable.
