FILM REVIEW
I suspect that they do not plan to stop making billions from their
Marvel rights just yet; so while Endgame felt like a conclusion,
certainly it is nothing of the sort. Far From Home is a well placed
product then, much like Ant-Man and The Wasp was a bit of an
amuse-bouche in the series, so too is this film a bit of a good old
return to a smaller but engaging adventure. The plot sees Peter Parker
trying to ignore the weight on hi and just enjoy an European vacation,
although an interdimensional threat called an Elemental seems poised to
disrupt all that.
Much like the previous Spider-Man film, this one is fun, playful, but yet has a decent plot. There is good action, comedy, and nice moments, all producing the sense of an enjoyable romp with plenty to like about it. In terms of the brand, it is what was needed, but it is also an enjoyable film which has a lot of creativity and craft about it - not just money and polish. Of course there is that too, but it doesn't feel like a mass produced product in the way some of this genre can. Special effects are good of course, but also have a sense of wonder about how they are used. Performances are strong, with Holland in particular making the character his own. Zendaya is young and cool, and that works for her, but otherwise I didn't think she brought much to this. Gyllenhaal works well in the various forms of his character while Jackson, Favreau, Tomei, Batalon, and others add to the quality, They could have used Smooth more though, if anything his presence distracted due to how little he did.
Far From Home is a fun film overall. It lifts the mood of the series with its humour, while also delivering an enjoyable adventure and engaging plot.
