Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
2019 | Action, Sci-Fi
Was always going to be impossible being the next film up after endgame and though this one had one or two minor issues it's still another excellent entry into the MCU.

Some good action scenes,excellent performances by Tom Holland and Jon Favreau made this better than homecoming,though mysterio wasnt up to much as the bad guy with all his tech illusions.

It's a shame that the cliffhanger ending in the first post credits scene wont be fully explored as spiderman is no longer in the MCU.Hopefully Sony will keep up the quality in future movies and it will be interesting to see if spiderman goes up against venom or morbius.
  

I really couldn't get on with the Tobey McGuire Spiderman movies, so I'm glad another actor has taken the reins.
Judging by the trailer alone it looks like this might be more up my street, a bit of humour, plenty of action. I look forward to giving it a try at some point.

Charming Plot
Teen Rom-Com With A Superhero Twist
Here we seem to have two separate movies mixed into one. On the one hand we have this adorable romantic comedy about two teens that go on a trip with their class overseas. On the other we have our class superhero movie with Spiderman facing off against the villian and coming into his own as a hero. Both of these not only play well but were also well combined to formulate this movie.
I enjoyed the whimsical performance of Spiderman and for once didn't feel as though the humor was overdone with his classmates. Meanwhile, on the heroics side, I adored the organized fight scenes as well as how the shots were set up. Considering this film also takes place after the heavily emotional Endgame I found the balance between the humor and seriousness to also fit well without either being overdone or feeling out of place.
As someone who isn't a huge Spiderman fan I actually found myself enjoying the film and would recommend it for any family movie night.

This film is fun, emotional and beautifully made.The way the different art styles come together is fantastic.This film is humourous but also has it's sad moments.The storyline is very good, quite a different approach to other Spiderman movies.I expected it to be OK,but it ended up being so much better than I had expected.

Great, comic faithful version of spiderman.
Really enjoyed watching this wise cracking version of spiderman leaping around in an even more comic faithful version than Sam Rami's version. If you liked Spidey's guest appearance in Civil War then you'll like this. Definitely appeals to a younger audience but older comic fans like myself will enjoy watching our childhood heroes come to life. On the downside I did find the Vulture to be a little dull as villains go and the second half of the film was perhaps a little formulaic, with a contrived plot twist, but I still enjoyed the film as a whole. Recommended - if you like super hero films, obviously.

Well, that was … different.

By now, we're all used to witnessing the current Superhero phenomenon - Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, etc - from the point of view of those characters, drawn (predominantly) as larger-than-life.

This eschews all that, focusing instead on the point of view of a bystander on the street (photo journalist Phil Sheldon), with the characters drawn in an almost photo-realistic manner. As such, this deals more with how the public (would) view those characters and the massive property damage than inevitably follows one of their battles, picking and reinterpreting various scenes - Captain America at war, Mister Fantastic and Sue Storms marriage, The X-Men and the Sentinels, Spiderman and the death of Gwen Stacey, etc - from the decades of comics now available.

Michael Keaton's portrayal of his character: The Vulture. (1 more)
The idea that his Peter Parker, tried to prove himself worthy for the Avengers, and that he wouldn't let someone die just because their bad.
More detail, within the post-credit scene to foreshadow Avengers: Infinity War or Thor: Ragnarok. And maybe hint some other villians, for example Doc Ock or even Hammerhead. (0 more)
Spiderman swings into a 9/10 place, giving a comical take on the teenage superhero
Contains spoilers, click to show
Spiderman Homecoming swung into theatres last week, and provided a comical take on the young superhero. It gives us an opening on Peter, enjoying his time and experience through the events of Civil War. But this comes to an end, when it shows him as a normal teen. Michael Keaton, gives a hatred to play-boy millionaire Tony Stark. So he retrieves pieces of weaponry and tech, from previous Marvel films. And he sells them to make money, and give his family a good life. Through this Peter learns of the idea of trust, bravery, and of course doing the right thing no matter what. All in all, Spiderman Homecoming makes a great film for the new generation and for some in the old generation.

Even though several characters die in this movie, even Spiderman, it doesn't feel permanent. I'd bet money that in the next movie, they'll just use the time stone and the superheroes who died in this movie will be saved. Kind of standard stuff for Marvel.
