Inviso 02/14/21 12:12:03 PM #182:	ZenOfThunder Spider-Man is in this. Mysterio is also in this and there's some really great callbacks to other MCU stuff. Great little cherry on top to end the Infinity Saga. I would definitely kiss Jake Gyllenhall if given the chance.. Cybat Mysterio was always one of my favorite Spider-Man villains but I never expected to see him in a live-action movie like this. I was a little skeptical, but they knocked it out of the park in my opinion. This movie reaches this spot on the list almost entirely because of Jake Gyllenhaals performance and the absolutely spectacular illusion sequence. Watching that took me straight back to being a kid watching the cartoon, in the best possible way. Also, the passing the torch scene with Happy on the jet was very well done and heartfelt in a franchise with not a huge number of heartfelt moments. And finally the Skrull reveal in the stinger was a great surprise and really intriguing for what is to come in Phase 4. I do take issue with some stuff about how the blip was handled, and also E.D.I.T.H. was a very silly plot device, but overall this movie just hit the spot for me. And come on, they brought back J.K. Simmons! MetalmindStats As far as iterative MCU sequels content to follow in the footsteps of their forebears where the getting is good go, Far From Home does a great job preserving Homecomings appeal. Its enough to swing it a notch above the average MCU movie and another few notches above the average blockbuster. CoolCly This movie is a lot of fun. Its got a lot of fun school trip elements, and the I really enjoy everything about the Peter / MJ relationship. Its great stuff. Mysterio was awesome. Its unfortunate that it was obvious to all of us going in that he was going to turn out bad, but the way he draws Peter in is so slick, and its really triumphant when he reveals hes a bad guy after getting the glasses. The technology for holograms is pretty cool, but I kinda felt like they over did it later on when it could seemingly do anything all the time and extent of destruction really went way too far, when you consider that this is all Tonys fault for making the system and Peters for giving up the glasses to Mysterio. I think that theres only so far you can stretch the damage heroes cause before they are no longer really being heroic when they step up to stop the bad guy The impact of Endgame on the world isnt really explored too much here, but the fallout of Tony dying on Peter and Happy is really good, and I love the scene where Happy shows up with the jet when Peter asks for help and they talk. The illusions Peter fights through when he goes to confront Mysterio is a god tier scene. I called that Fury was not actually Fury when the trailers first came out. But I predicted that he was the Chameleon, so the skrulls were a fun twist. They werent actually malevolent like I expected. Overall, this is a great movie. The issues Peter deals with resulting from Tonys death, and his relationship with MJ, are great. Mysterio is awesome and results in a lot of great action and challenges for Peter to overcome. Maniac64 I am so glad that this Spider-man movie was able to continue the strong trend of the first. Mysterio was a risky choice for a villain (as was Vulture really) but they pulled it off so well. Ned continues to be an excellent side character for Peter, the characters continue to be strong. We got some standard Spidey drama without it weighing everything down. MJ figuring out his identity on her own was great. And once again the MCU takes a big chance at the end, with Mysterio getting a final victory by exposing Peter's identity. I'm really curious where that will lead. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso <cite>Inviso posted [p:950629330] in Board 8 Ra... [t:79288169]...</cite> <quote>ZenOfThunder Spider-Man is in this.
