A perfect blend between a teen romantic comedy and a superhero movie. A chemistry and interaction between main characters are perfect. Unpredictable throughout. Show the aftermath of the war in the previous movie. A perfect conclusion for the saga.

So, after 2 lackluster Amazing Spider-Man movies, and then a 3RD Spider-Man revival that everyone else went wild for but I personally thought was just ok, my hopes weren't crazy high. That is, until, I saw Jake Gyllenhaal cast as Mysterio, and my hype hit an all-time high. I love Jake Gyllenhaal (both the Gyllenhaals, really) and he just nails it here. His Mysterio is easily my favorite villain of the MCU (not that that's a high bar, because villains aren't exactly the MCU's specialty). As a character, he's bold and confident and darkly evil. As a supervillain, he's terrifying, with his surreal mind-bending sequences being some of my favorites in the entire franchise. Even the post-credit scene is probably the best of the franchise. This movie is a blast.

This was the perfect send off to the first story arc of the MCU. Peter is established as the new Tony of sorts, but he resists this change as the audience does. Both Peter and the viewers want Tony back and are still having a hard time accepting the events of Endgame. Peter attempts to discard his responsibilities and be a normal kid. Sadly, try as he might, his duties and his enemies cant leave him alone. Add in an expert con artist villain, and generous doses of Happy and Nickuel L. Fury and we have a guaranteed good time.

Far From Home had a LOT working against it, coming out as the very next film after the epic grandeur that was Avengers: Endgame. But honestly? Far From Home managed to do a DAMN good job standing up to the high standard set by its predecessor. Tom Holland has already established himself as the best of the three live-action, cinematic Spider-Men, but this movie really made him feel on top of his game. This is a kid dealing with the same kind of PTSD that Tony had to deal with throughout the Iron-Man trilogy, but with the added issues of teenaged hormones and the stress of trying to deal with a normal life. It all adds up to a unique feel to every scene. Additionally, Ive gotta say that I love Mysterio as a villain. Whether its Jake Gyllenhalls performance or the character himself, its just great to have a guy feel slighted by Iron Man (giving us one last This is your fault, Tony to cap off the Iron Man saga of the MCU) and put together a team of scientific geniuses, just to earn the respect he never got while Tony was still alive. Oh! And of course, the J.K. Simmons stinger at the end was one of the best credits scenes in the franchise thus far, so overall, the film was just great.

There are a bunch of things this movie has going for it. It has Tom Holland as an excellent Peter Parker again of course, it has the fascinating idea of people dealing with a post-UNsnapped world, Peter dealing with the Tony Stark legacy being passed on, And it has one of the best Marvel villains. Everyone knows Mysterio is one of the most iconic Spider-Man villains, so seeing him introduced and developed was fun to see how it played out. And nobody is going to complain about Jon Favreau getting more screen time.

To me Homecoming was such a mediocre film that I had some pretty negative expectations going in. Thankfully FFH managed to surprise me not only did it fix most of the prior movies flaws, but it improved on what it did well and you really dont get that often! The main thing that really makes me love this movie however is really just Mysterio. Not only does Jake Gyllenhal put in one hell of a performance, but I think he was the first on screen villain to actually give Peter psychological damage, while still tormenting him from beyond the grave. Not to mention all the crazy things they do with his powers. Overall its a really fun movie that I love rewatching.
