Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019) User Reviews

Fantastic!

[notastrawhat · 8/10 · 13 July 2019]

After Into the Spiderverse and Endgame, I had pretty high expectations for Far From Home, and I was completely blown away about how good it is. As always, the cast is great, especially Tom Holland, Jake Gylanhall, and Samuel L. Jackson. The story stays together and never seems to farfetched, unlike other superhero movies (i.e, Captain Marvel; Aquaman). Like other Marvel movies, the writers do a great job with the characters. The way they wrote the characters made even minor ones like Flash, Brad, and Betty entertaining to watch. Jake Gylanhall's Mysterio stands out as being one of the best villians in the MCU. Rather than physically hurting Spider-Man, Mysterio tears him apart on the inside, using Tony Stark's death as an advantage. The effects were great and the action was also some of the best in the MCU. Overal, Spider-Man Far From Home is a great movie and easily one of the best (if not the best) in the MCU. Also, stick around after the credits for two surprises, especially if you are a Raimi fan

Good, yet not Great.

[maxim-delaet · 7/10 · 17 September 2019]

That is what I've come to expect from 90% of the Marvel movies. Some are Bad, and very few lean towards being Great.

However childish the movie may feel for some, the story was perfectly fine which is not common for action movies including some of the post 2005 Marvel movies... And even if it doesn't feel very special, unique or whatever you expected it to be, you cannot deny that the directing work was decent to say the least!

Most of all, my 8 out of 10 is earned by the acting in this movie.

P.S.: If you are rating this movie a 1/10 you're simply having issues with it being different from what you were expecting and cannot accept that not every movie is a Stark movie. But I tell you, to be a good reviewer is to see the beauty in differences.

One of the Best Spider-Man Movie 🎦

[vaibhavssachan · 8/10 · 15 July 2019]

Amazing movie. Many surprises in the movie and, 3D effects and visuals are amazing. And it's credit scenes is best in the history of MCU

spidey

[chaniaago · 10/10 · 3 July 2019]

This is amazing movies with teenage backgroud... i love the charcter chemistry, Mysterio is awesome villain!!

Spoiler free! For MCU lovers is a gift.

[sergiobugeda · 10/10 · 9 July 2019]

When Homecoming came out i thought that was the Spiderman movie i was waiting for all my life, now that Far from Home is here i can tell i was wrong, this is the Spiderman movie i've been waiting for all my life, reminded me of the comic books i use to read as a child, it's funny, action packed, visually perfect, full of surprises and not one character disapoints. I even felt nostalgic and so emotional at so many moments of the movie. Just great great great! I wil watch it again and again! The only thing that makes me sad is to know that there is not another one coming next month!

Needs more Maria Hill.

[GeraltsGooch · 7/10 · 10 July 2019]

NEEDS! MORE! MARIA! HILL! I REPEAT! NEEDS! MORE! MARIA! HILL!

Great movie, so happy it did not disappoint 👍

[sorinamgheorghe · 10/10 · 13 July 2019]

I had my doubts going to see it, I was hoping not to mess it up and they didn't! It was good, Tom did an amazing job, like he was born to play Peter! And the entire cast was lovely! The reminders to Endgame were timed perfectly and inserted as to not bother but still be present, some explanations were given as to what happened in the 5 year gap with some of them, they were funny and silly and stupid like any teenagers should be. And there was enough action as to keep you tensed. I loved it and I do hope they continue making good Spiderman movies! PS my only question is how come Fury had a phone signal in space!?!

Absolutely amazing!

[natereed-01651 · 7/10 · 5 July 2019]

This has to be one of the greatest marvel films ever, the acting, CGI and the story were all phenomenal, really looking forward to the next spider man, and I really hope that Tom Holland stays on as spider man for a lot longer and I hope to see him star in other Marvel films within the MCU!

Straight from the pages of a comic book

[bthurman-60863 · 10/10 · 3 July 2019]

Wow! This movie shocked me with how amazing it was *pun intended*. I've been a Spidey fan for as long as I can remember and this is the best I've seen him in a movie yet, and I can't wait to see what the MCU does with him going forward. If you were worried that Marvel Studios is gonna be declining after Endgame, then this movie will put those worries to rest. Very ready to see what phase 4 has to offer!

Damn near perfect!

[danielwlottering · 7/10 · 3 July 2019]

This movie is everything I wanted and more! It continues were Endgame left off and it show's the aftermath it left on Peter Parker. Spider-Man Far From Home will leave you with a smile and if you stay for the post credit scenes then it will leave you shocked and happy with other mixed feelings. There are 2 post credit scenes and they are both worth staying for! In my honest opinion it is way better than, Into The Spider Verse and also moving to my number 1 Spider-Man movie!

Great Sequel

[rstabc · 9/10 · 22 August 2019]

I originally saw Spider-Man Homecoming about a week or so before seeing Far From Home. With the original fresh in mind, this was a very well done sequel. The character development stemmed well from Endgame, with callbacks that seemed fitting. While drawing from the emotion of the previous encounter with Peter Parker, there was well placed comedic moments throughout. Not to mention the impressive cinematography, I would easily recommend.

Teenage Spider-Man in Europe

[claudio_carvalho · 6/10 · 23 September 2019]

"Spider-Man: Far from Home" is a typical film for youngsters or fans of Marvel, CGI and explosions. The storyline is silly, the screenplay is not as funny as the writer intended to be and the hero is annoying. Anyway entertains if the viewer has lower expectation and does not have a better option. The cliffhanger in the credits is one of the best scenes. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Homem-Aranha: Longe de Casa" ("Spider-Man: Far from Home")

A step backwards

[Leofwine_draca · 5/10 · 12 April 2020]

And so my long Marvel-watching journey comes to an end; I've finally caught up with the endless franchise, after what seems like eons playing catch-up with the rest of the world's population. Sadly, this SPIDER-MAN sequel is a real step down from the highs of AVENGERS: ENDGAME, and a feeling like they've gone backwards given how they learnt what worked so well previously. Personally, I've found both of Holland's outings as the web-slinging hero to be middling at best.

This one starts off okay, with a first half mixing the usual lame high school gags and characterisation with some decent and destructive set-pieces; Jake Gyllenhaal is a nice choice of supporting actor too. However, a crucial twist halfway through renders the second half extremely mundane, building to a climax which is silly and predictable as it is hollow and contrived. Fans tend to lap this stuff up due to its well-meaning nature, but I expect a lot more from this kind of budget.

Best movie

[joshua-cray · 10/10 · 13 July 2019]

This movie gave me all the feels of being a teenager again....it's got everything you need to be entertained, most of all the diverse cast just makes it so much more better

"They will believe anything"

[q-48121 · 10/10 · 8 July 2019]

This movie was a great movie as mastered all aspects a movie should have, the aspects being: script, acting, visual effects and storyline.

I really enjoyed this movie as there were many fun and thrilling moments. I also enjoy the fact the director explored Spider Man's character developing it by making his worst fears come true.

Mysterio ( Arthur Beck ), his reveal that he is evil and is not from a different Earth is brilliant. The character of Mysterio was created so convincingly that for the first part of the movie I thought he was really a superhero.

The fight sequences between Spider Man and Mysterio were visually spectacular. I just had a problem with the drone fight sequence as I felt it became a little bit lengthy.

In conclusion this movie is very good and it is a must watch.

The ending chapter of MCU phase 3

[austin0731 · 7/10 · 11 August 2019]

The closing chapter to the MCU's phase 3, Spider-man far from home brilliantly ends the arc of Tony Stark and the initial trilogy of MCU phases. It was a blend of paying respects to the past but building and looking into the future of the MCU, all packed into a charming Spider-man movie filled with fun and excitement.

Jake Gyllenhal's mysterio was one of the best MCU villains in my opinion, making Spider-Man one of the strongest franchises in terms of its rogue gallery in cinematic form. With Vulture and Mysterio bein two of the most interesting and complex in MCU history. Spider-man: far from home was a great palate cleanser that prepares us for the next chapter in the epic MCU saga.

I am now more excited than ever about the potential of storylines, characters and the MCU multiverse.

Best Spider-Man ever!

[isaiah-membery · 10/10 · 14 July 2019]

Absolutely nailed the Spider-Man franchise! Tom Holland brought a great balance of Peter Parker and Spider-Man the storyline was exactly what I was hoping out of this movie and the end credits scene was totally BOSS!!! Keen for the next one!

Amazing

[srogers-36968 · 7/10 · 6 July 2019]

I didn't think any Spider-Man movie could top Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 2, but I was happily proven wrong.

The storyline and villain is (in my opinion) one of the best marvel has created, the action scenes and cgi were incredible, the dialogue (as always) was perfectly balanced and entertaining, and the acting was spot-on; Tom Holland really shines.

Can't wait to see what comes next in the franchise, especially after that end credit scene!

Just don't compare it with others

[joshuabonardo · 10/10 · 12 July 2019]

I think it's a great movie with great plot and great actors. This movie is succeed in showing Peter's struggle as a teenager who wants to enjoy his highschool moments and being a regular-street hero, while everybody gives him pressures by telling him the next Tony Stark and he being asked to finish the "Avengers Level-Threat", which he doesn't suppose to handle. Besides the story, Tom Holland is still potraying Peter Parker in a good way alongside the supporting role of the movie, especially Jon Favreau, Jacob Batalon, and Jack Gyllenhaal. I think Jon Favreau has better potrayal as Happy in this movie as he gave a better look as assistant/father figure who support Peter wherever and whenever he needs. Jacob Batalon always serve us with fun and laugh in almost every scene he played as Ned. And Jack Gyllenhaal is the best supporting role in this movie. Twisted and Maniac. That is all I can say for his potrayal as Quentin Beck a.k.a Mysterio.

The problem is the fact that everybody still compare this movie to the likes of another MCU movies, Raimi's Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man, and many more. Please guys, this is a very different Spider-Man movie. I can say that this movie is even has a different perspective than Homecoming. Not only that, others even compared this movie with the comic, saying that they already figured out the twist or disappointed with Mysterio. Dude, there are so many fans that enjoys the movie without read or know the comic's first. Besides, I think anybody couldn't suggest that Mysterio is related to some "legend" even though they knew he is the main villain.

I think that's all I can say. In brief, this is an amazing movie, just don't compare it with others.

Peter Parker - The Avenger / The Kid

[CactusCult · 6/10 · 4 July 2019]

Marvel has proven that they can maintain smaller stories that more than hold up to epics like infinity war/endgame. Peter struggles to grow into his role as Spider-man after the passing of Tony Stark (may he rest in peace) and each character evolves in a new way under the pressures of romance and an amazingly written villain with an incredible amount of character depth. This is an absolute must-see.

Blown away.

[annice_rox · 10/10 · 9 July 2019]

Just got back from seeing this... Wow!! Might be my favourite marvel movie yet! Absolutely amazing.

Popcorn thrills galore in this frenetic and fun Spiderman adventure

[isaacj02 · 7/10 · 2 July 2019]

In the wake of the bombastic success of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios return here with a smaller yet still lively summer flick starring everyone's favourite neighbourhood superhero. Turns out audiences are not the only ones who need to recover from the furore of recent events in the MCU (not least Thanos' genocidal antics now christened in-universe as 'The Blip'). Spider-Man: Far From Home sees our titular hero take a well-earned rest as he embarks on a school trip to Europe with his friends. He doesn't even pack his trusty suit... it's time for a bit of normality. Of course, events don't quite turn out as expected and Peter is dragged swiftly back into the world-saving game, this time to battle the multidimensional Elementals and other hidden and perhaps even more dangerous enemies. Much of the creative talent behind 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming return for this spirited and entertaining sequel that ends up being satisfying both for its character and in its place in the ever-widening MCU. Tom Holland dons the webbed suit yet again as Spider-Man; if he wasn't brilliant before, this time he seems even more comfortable in the role, delivering a charming, vulnerable and seemingly effortless performance. Director Jon Watts also returns proving himself to be a sure hand, his clear vision for the film shining through with distinctive style. There's a notable new addition however in writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers who deliver a smart script, often hilarious and always genuine. Far From Home is certainly a Spider-Man film on a sheer scale we haven't seen before; largely, it's handled quite well, remaining mostly grounded amid globe-trotting and narrative twists and turns. Occasionally, we lose some of the cohesion and it feels a little overstuffed and expository, but honestly this film is so fast-paced and energetic you can't help but enjoy the ride even when everything doesn't quite jell. Equally, there are far too many brilliant aspects to take in; take for instance the seamless action sequences which are neatly interchanged with intimate and believable drama. The temptation with movies of this kind is to fall into mindless action and forget the substance but Far From Home keeps its characters purely at its heart. There's nice references, for example, to Endgame that really inform Peter's arc in the film and provide the film's understated yet decidedly emotional impact. Whilst the overall package might not be as tight as its predecessor, Far From Home makes appropriate attempts to hone in on some characters and narrative vignettes in more detail (for example, Zendaya's MJ is far more fleshed out here and Peter's own sense of identity and responsibility is thoughtfully explored). Again, it's not all plain sailing; Jake Gyllenhaal's Syndrome-esque Mysterio is very hit and miss, his great moments bogged down by some of the lesser writing and obligatorily clunky exposition. In the end, however, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an impressive film, more than making up for its faults. It's fiercely entertaining, packed full of humour, action thrills and plenty of unexpected twists to keep the audience gripped (speaking of which, stay for two critical post-credits scenes). Equally, there's some fantastic visual effects work that sometimes even echoes of the illusionary sequences in Doctor Strange. Jon Watts and his team deliver a satisfying sequel here full of interesting choices yet still staying true to the style established in Homecoming. Ultimately, regardless of its position in the Marvel canon, Far From Home has all the elements of the perfect summer popcorn movie; action thrills, big laughs, a likeable cast and brilliant visuals really allow it to recover from momentary snags and reach the finish line in splendour. Expertly crafted and with an unabashed sense of fun, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an assured Marvel instalment that hungers for a rewatch.

Fed up with watching an immature Spider-Man. 4/10

[leonblackwood · 4/10 · 15 February 2020]

Review: Will they ever get this franchise right? I really wasn't a fan of this film because the whole "teenager on a school trip" concept was ridiculous, and the script was awful. They tried there utmost to make it funny, but it just didn't work, and Tom Holland's constant whining about how much he wanted to be with his school friends, and trying to get the girl, became tedious after a while. I can't believe that Spider-man went through the whole of Infinity War and Endgame, saving the world with the Avengers, and ended up dodging Nick Fury's calls because he wanted to be with his friends. On top of that, the humongous creatures that were attacking Europe weren't enough for the school to cancel the trip, which was totally unrealistic. The major twist in the film was also written badly, which was a shame because I actually liked Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) before he turned dark. On the plus side, I did like seeing the aftermath of Tony Stark death, and how the so-called "blip" affected the world, but with all that in mind, Spider-man still was acting like an immature teenager, even though he was heavily involved in the battle against Thanos. The whole drone concept was also completely ridiculous, and the fact that no one realised that it was all an illusion, blew my mind. Although I found the film disappointing, Tom Holland is a good Spider-man, in terms of his movements and action scenes, but I think it's about time that he took his role as a super-hero seriously. I don't know how close the character is to the comics, so I can't totally blame the director for his vision but I'm really getting fed up with his boyish behaviour, especially after Tony Stark took him under his wing. The action scenes made the film watchable, even though they were extremely far-fetched, and the ending left the franchise open for many possibilities, but I still expected more after Endgame. Disappointing!

Round-Up: This movie was directed by Jon Watts, who also brought you Cop Car, starring Kevin Bacon, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was also disappointing. He's returning to direct another Spider-Man movie, which is due out in July 2021, after Tom Holland saved the film from cancellation by forcing renegotiations with Sony and Disney. It's the 28th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with other movies being released from the MCU franchise beforehand, the plot of the next Spider-Man is unknown. I hope they show a different side to this character because the gullible Spider-Man concept has been done to death.

Budget: $160million Worldwide Gross: $1.13billion

Genre: Action, Adventure. Sci-Fi Cast: Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, J.K. Simmons, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, J.B. Smoove, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Cobie Smulders and Numan Acar. 4/10

Awesome movie

[lezhans · 10/10 · 9 July 2019]

Interesting plot, great characters, and a fantastic ending to the infinity saga.
