Spider-Man: Far From Home












Thanks to a great script by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Director Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home is a thoroughly enjoyable film.

The visual effects and battles of the usual Avenger vehicles are overcome by laughs as the film focuses on the foibles of the young Spider-man Peter Parker (Tom Holland), who is attracted to classmate MJ (Zendaya), and just wants to share a summer trip to Europe with her and fellow classmates instead of having to save the world.

Odd-couple love connections with his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) and MJ’s best friend Betty (Angourie Rice) and Parker’s Aunt May’s budding romance with his protector Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) add to the fun and humor.

It’s almost secondary that Spider-man does have to save the world.  And, the poor casting choice of the would-be actor playing the villain moves from irritating to laughable, as well. 


I give Spider-Man: Far From Home a 4.2 out of 5.
