Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

Far from home but close to Marvel's best

[2/10 · 3 September 2019]

Personally up their at the tip of the MCU the second solo spider man film in this continuity delivered on everything I'd hoped for. In terms of scale it felt so vast and action packed making for a brisk watch despite its fairly long run time. There's a case for it being perhaps the most impactful solo film in the marvel universe and certainly felt as such, sending the character through various turmoils to come out changed at the end. Gyllenhaal was a personal highlight and the villain felt well motivated if a little contrived/shoehorned into this world, throw in a mind blowing Mysterio illusion scene and various callbacks to prior films in the MCU and you're left with this really enjoyable product! For all it's positives it can't escape flaws and does have certain issues, Ned as a character is neglected for the sake of MJ and in a way the humour dips as a payment for this but aside from a few other minor niggles there's little else wrong. Packing a reveal that could be hugely impactful for the fate of future marvel films I'd argue it's not only a must see but one of the best in the whole 20+ films currently released. Emotional, moving and effective I'd highly recommend a viewing
