Check it out!

In Spider-man: Far from Home (2019), there is a blink and you will miss scene where we see that Peter has labeled the switch “do not unplug” because he was charging his suit. Peter needs todo this because unlike Tony's nanotech suit it has no arc reactor which can supply the power.

Peter: I love big cats. Like lions and panthers and tigers, they look so cuddly and soft

MJ: like the ones that'll eat your face off?

Peter: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF LOVE

MJ: ...

Peter: they have big toe beans. They're like little toe beans, but big

[defencelesslou]

i feel like someone has already said this but what if spider-man: far from home started (or ended) with “a film by peter parker 2” and it’s him documenting like the space ship and showing us titan then at the end it’s just static then it cuts to tony (who found the footage and edited it) and he stares into the camera and says “i’m sorry kid”

?????

I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THAT PLANE SCENE IN FFH. IT FUCKING BROKE ME. I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE ON FROM IT.

Spider-man: Far From Home

Was exactly as silly as it needed to be, and I loved it. Tom Holland continues to be one of the cutest creatures on the silver screen, but even Jon Favreau manages to be cute and adorable in this. Zendaya was great, as was Jacob Batalon, as potential girlfriend and best friend respectively. The diversity of the cast is again so well done and lovely to see.

Samuel L Jackson has enough of the rough edges sawn off not to be a complete bully, and Colbie Smulders has the best last word ever :) Adored the two teachers’ double act that manages to stay in the background most of the time while being quietly hilarious.

Jake Gyllenhaal had an absolute blast - sorry for the pun - chewing the scenery and showing the young stud how superheroing is done. 

Location shots and CGI are extremely well blended to make for believable action scenes in very familiar places, while the central joke of the film is about how this stuff is done in the movies.

Favourite scene has to be the Dutch jail. “Welcome to the Netherlands” - ha!

Lots of laughs, a few sniffles, some cracking fights. If you liked the first one, you’ll like this one just as much. It’s not often the sequel is as good or better as the original (which is itself a reboot of  a reboot of a reboot etc.)

SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME

 There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man now? Yup, and one of them's edged out the other as the MCU's premier every-guy. As still the most popular superhero in the world it's no surprise that Spidey's cracked out five appearances in these movies in just three years, but chucking him in at the deep end of the Marvel Universe while retaining his street-level appeal has been a stroke of franchise-freshening genius. In that short time he's scrapped with bad dads and muggers sure, but also had six shades of shit kicked out of him by half the Avengers, been smushed by a big purple alien Bruce Willis and rode on the back of Valkyrie's Pegasus while clinging to Thor's hammer for dear life. This is a side to Spider-Man that's long existed in the anything-goes comics but one we've never seen on screen, and one of the many reasons that Homecoming was such a fresh revelation with it's Stark junk and Chitauri clean-up. Far From Home juggles all this stuff again, delving further into MCU lore while going some way to return to the 'classic' Spider-Man from the Raimi movies and the sixties years. It's not big but it is clever, it quietly builds on its own stories and characters, it doesn't rock the big boat but it pauses to reflect. It's such a masterful water-treader that it even has a Hydro Man, and it's all done better than that other guy in the insect suit.

 There is a sense of cruising though, which is the longevity of the MCU's fault rather than any of the individual players. Holland, Zendaya and a having-a-ball-with-a-ball-for-a-head Jake Gyllenhaal all continue breathing new life into the series, but it can't help but feel like a coda rather than something new. It riffs on the tiredness of the genre, taking the piss out of it's own CGI dust-ups, twisting one of its oldest hands into weird green shapes. But crucially amongst all this director Jon Watts still has an absolute grasp of Spidey lore, continuing his exemplary adaptation work with its villains and the essential crux of Parker's character while chucking in all sorts of new MCU wrinkles. It's a nice epilogue for Tony Stark, and a thematic set-up for what's to come; presumably all this paranoia's heading for some Kree-Skrull war shenanigans, and it'll be interesting to see how they handle something a little more nuanced than chinny guy with a big magic fist.

 So yeah, a mixed one. It's great, but it doesn't really push anything. It's a spectacular Spider-Man story and a nice nudge for the universe, but it doesn't provide any big leaps, like how the Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Doc Strange sequels presumably will. It feels like they're also holding back on the seriousness for Parker, waiting for some more adult shapes in the form of the Sinister Six, foaming Jonahs or Goblins. With this kind of set-up it'll be amazing if they get to it, but this'll do for now. Put it this way: Far From Home is another breather, and it's still a riot. This is how good they are at making a stop-gap in their overriding story, while everyone else can only dream of taking one.
