Overview

After the dramatic events of endgame, Peter Parker(Tom Holland) and Ned leeds(Jacob Batolan) go on a class trip to Europe. On the way, Peter tries his best to get closer to MJ(Zendaya), but once there ,ends up getting his trip interrupted by Nick Fury(Samuel L. Jackson) and Mysterio( Jake Gyllenhaal). Peter must choose whether he needs to step up and be a hero, or be a normal kid and get the girl he wants.

Plot/Storyline

The plot for Spiderman Far From Home is one that is so great I think it holds up pretty well. For starters, all of our questions from endgame are answered at the beginning of the film, giving us insight on how the events of Endgame have effected everyone. We are also shown how the whole “ 5 year gap” will work in the film. The plot is really strong, showing us how difficult it is for Peter to balance out his life as a superhero and a normal kid. The movie is filled with many twist and turns that change the direction the film is going. Spider-Man Far From home, although it looked like a serious Spider-Man film, was more of a comedy that, at most times, was pretty funny. We are given an amazing storyline and a satisfying ending. Overall I give the plot/storyline a 9.1/10

Characters

The characters in Far From Hone were pretty great. Everybody in the film has their reason of being there. Characters are also given a reason for what ever they do. For example Mysterio, we are given his motivation for the action he decides to make. We are also taken in the plot by learning how the whole Mysterio operation happened. Nothing in this film felt forced and everything came through as genuine. Overall I give the characters in this film a 8.9/10.

Cast

We are given a pretty good cast for this film with a hand full of big names. The obvious being Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jake Gyllenhaal. The cast do a pretty good job portraying these characters and bringing them to life. The cast also do a good job in putting emotions into lines making the film more enjoyable. Overall I give the characters a 9.6/10

VFX

The VFX for this film was pretty good l. Everything looked real and looked genuine. This doesn‘t just go for the action senses but it also goes for a specific scene in which Mysterio pulls an illusion on Peter and Peter doesn’t know what is real. This movie also did a great job with making the elements look real and not just monsters made by VFX. Overall I give the VFX a 8.8/10.

Visuals

The visuals for far from home were some of the best that I have seen in a Spider-Man film. The visuals are so creative and bright of color that the VFX and visuals work hand and hand. Not only was it the bright color in some scenes that made the visuals look really good, but when you mix all that in with the beautiful buildings of Europe and you got a work of art. The visuals also do their work when Peter is distracted or is thinking. Overall i give the visuals a 8.7/10.

Is It Worth It?

I really enjoyed this movie and feel like they really did hit the gold spot with this film and made it the very best it could be. I really do recommend everybody to go see this film regardless of wether your a Spider-Man fan or not. Even as a film itself it stands out. I really do think this film was worth it, therefore, I give it an overall rating of 9.3/10.
