SPOILERS FOR ENDGAME!!! DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT YET!!!
Far From Home is the most recent instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and, by the looks of it, we probably won’t see much more of Spider-Man for a while after this.
I actually liked Far From Home more than Spider-Man: Homecoming, and that’s saying something because Homecoming was received extremely well by audiences when it came out. Far From Home has better pacing and a much more interesting storyline (in my opinion).
The aftermath of Infinity War and Endgame are mentioned as soon as the film starts, and people are already asking Spider-Man if he’s going to be the next Iron Man. This is all too overwhelming for Peter, which is why he’s just trying to enjoy his holiday without having to do any hero work.
Unfortunately for him, Nick Fury and the intergalactic hero Mysterio follow him on his school trip and pretty much force him into fighting two elemental giants.
Of course it was inevitable that Peter would be forced back into his Spider-Man suit, seeing as this is a Spider-Man movie; but it is quite heartbreaking to see Peter missing out on a fun holiday with his friends and the girl he likes because of it.
The impact that his hero work has on his social life is explored in much more detail here, as we see his classmates spreading rumours and talking about Peter behind his back while he’s saving their lives as Spider-Man.
There’s a lot more that I want to talk about, but I can’t because of spoilers. What I can say is that there’s a massive plot twist halfway through the movie, and you should definitely stay right until the end of the credits because there are two post-credits scenes that are totally worth the wait.
Far From Home is definitely worth watching, and it’s one of my favourite Spider-Man movies to date.
8/10
