But since we at RunPee tend to grade the Marvel Cinematic Universe on a curve, I’d have to rank this as a “middle tier” movie.
#Spider man far from home 2 movie
I am a huge MCU fan, a Tom Holland-as-Spidey fan…and I really do think this is the best genre movie out right now (not including the Endgame re-release). That’s hard to do, since I loved a lot of it.

But there’s one big problem, and for that I have to give Spider-Man FFH a B grade. Which I’ll probably write, if there’s interest.Īgain, those are mostly nits.

Captain Marvel‘s name is “not to be invoked”.Thor is offworld (with the ‘ Asgardians of the Galaxy‘).– And another nit: Spider-Man is the only A-List hero left on Earth? After 23 movies packed with super beings, I can’t buy that. (We did get one rock hit underscoring a poignant/funny moment, but I won’t spoil it.) – I missed the fun rock and pop music that made Homecoming so fun. The MCU usually provides better world-building than that. Even seeing some of the homelessness and ruin in the background would have helped keep the sense of continuity alive. And Europe seemed to truck on with no problems at all. Yes, it was alluded to a few times, but I expected more. – There wasn’t enough care and attention paid to how Earth is handling the new reality: billions of people returning to life five years later. Grief is like that: you’re grooving along until you get a gut-punch reminder. I would have written Spidey as his usual irrepressible self who’d get sad when reminders of Tony Stark hit him out of nowhere. I get that he’s been through a lot, and mourns Iron-Man like a father, but EVERYONE in the post-post-post Snap world (yes, there were three Snaps, remember?) is suffering. Making him foolish - and a damsel in distress, even - didn’t sit right. Ned had funny lines, but was no longer Spider-Man’s sidekick. Some nits to pick (with spoilers for Avengers: Endgame): (With one of Marvel’s better villains, to boot.) Far From Home was enjoyable, but not up to the level I expected. I was again taken with how absolutely lovely, charming, funny, and exciting Peter Parker’s first solo outing was. I rewatched Spider-Man: Homecoming to get ready for Spidey’s ‘European Vacation’.
