MY 2 CENTS:

Writing: ★★★★★ Spider-Man Far From Home is an action packed follow-up to the previous Spider-Man Homecoming that takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Peter Parker is back after the snap – back from the 5-year blip that made half the world’s population disappear and he just wants to be a normal kid. Unfortunately, his is quickly called into action by Nick Fury who manages to hijack Peter’s class trip bringing Peter and his friends directly in the middle of all the action and danger.

Cinematography:  ★★★★★ There are some extremely well-done shots in this movie. The fast-paced movements were edited perfectly. The awesome part… and this is a SPOILER… we get to see it as if we are backstage on a movie set. SO COOL!!!

Story: ★★★★ The story telling in Spider-Man Far From Home is like no other superhero movie that I’ve seen. It plays games with not only Peter Parkers perception of reality, but that of the viewing audience as well. This movie is all about escape, wonder, adventure, heroism, drama, characters. This story dovetails off of Endgame and shows us what the world is like today after everything that happened in Endgame.    

This has to be one of my favorite Spider-Man movies ever made. I think one of the main reasons I really enjoyed this story, and the movies in which Tom Holland has played Spider-Man, is because we actually get to see Spider-Man as a kid learning what it means to take on the responsibility of becoming a superhero.

They gave us a mid-credit scene that is incredible… it changes everything you thought you knew about what would be next for Spider-Man. SPOILER – It turns things around and sets up Spider-Man to be the bad guy. Then, they take it one step further and spill his identity to the world by broadcasting his name and photo. So, make sure you stay to watch it!

Acting: ★★★★ Tom Holland is my Spider-Man! He feels completely natural in this role and does a great job.

I loved that they brought in Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) because we only got a little glimpse of him at the end of End Game. Samuel L Jackson just oozes control and he plays the part of Nick Fury so well.

Jake Gyllenhaal playing Quentin Beck (Mysterio) does a fantastic job… You believe him as this hero fighting this massive enemy. You want him to win… you want him to take Peter Parker under his wing, now that Iron Man is gone, and teach him everything he knows… SPOILER – WRONG!!! He is so good a making you believe he is the good guy and it just rips you apart when you find out you were wrong about him the whole time.

MY FAVORITE QUOTES:

“I just want to go on my trip with my friends. Europe doesn’t really need a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.” ~ Peter Parker

STORYLINE:
After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to undo Thanos’ actions and restore order to the universe.

MY 2 CENTS:
After Avengers Infinity War we were left with a huge cliffhanger and it was hard to anticipate how the story would continue… how the Avengers would go on. Avengers Endgame was no doubt one of the most anticipated films this year. I know where I live, theatres were sold out non-stop and people were standing in line to get good seats.

The crowds applauded throughout the movie and stood to clap at the end. People – myself included – cried. Yup, cried, during a super hero movie. This movie touched the hearts of its fans and moved us to tears.

There was devastation, sorrow, humor, a call to action, adventure, plot twists, and so much more.

In my opinion, this was the best Marvel Superhero movie ever and seeing as it is the end of an era, a wonderful conclusion to the Avengers story. The CG was awesome, way better than I expected it to be given how much of the movie was CG.

I don’t want to spoil the movie for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, so I will just tell you this, WATCH IT! Even if you aren’t a huge superhero fan, you should see this film. You’ll be on the edge of your seat the whole time.

You know what, never mind – It’s been out for a while – you’ve probably already seen it, so I will give some spoilers.

This film is packed with so much to talk about… maybe too much.

There are satisfying emotional moments throughout the film and a lot of references to previous movies that just make it plain fun for fans to watch.

LETS TALK ABOUT MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS
Iron Man, I’ve always loved Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. He has the strong hero persona down to a tee… including the cocky I can save everyone attitude. However, what I love most about his character is his sensitive side that we never really got to fully see until Endgame. He struggles with having to choose between saving the world and staying with his family. I felt his decision made total sense, even though his final sacrifice was devastating. Not going to lie, I cried!

Black Widow, I’ve always liked the roll of Black Widow and she was amazing in Endgame. She had some pretty emotional scenes and Scarlett Johansson was fantastic.

Captain America, if you remember, had a pretty small roll in Infinity War but they brought him back with a vengeance in Endgame giving us plenty of Captain America to enjoy. It also leaves us with a very satisfying conclusion to his character arc. Probably my favorite ending to any superhero story. He has always been a man living in the wrong time period… living in the world as an outsider. However, in Endgame he has finally been given the happy ending he has always deserved.

Hawkeye, I loved the deeply emotional story arc they gave him. Jeremy Renner is a great actor and I loved how committed he was not only to the fun action scenes but also to the emotion driven scenes as well.

I’d love to know what your favorite characters were. Comment below and let me know who you liked the most and why!

MY FAVORITE QUOTES:
I had a number of favorite quotes, but most of them would give away something in the plot… who died, who lived, who gave up, etc. I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone who hasn’t already seen it, so I will give you this…

“I love you three thousand.” ~Tony Stark
