Story: Following the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man must step up to take on new threats in a world that has changed forever.
Likes: Right im not gonna jump on the bandwagon of Marvel fanboys who give this film a 10 out of 10, because it's far from a 10 out of 10 films. Let get real im, not a DC fanboy or a marvel fanboy, im someone that just loves movies, what I see from the new spiderman isnt good.
Im not saying the film was Utterly bad there is the area in which this film is good like the acting and visual effects were good, there were a few moments through this film that was generally funny. The film does give some what of explanation to things that happened from the End game events.
Iam kind of warming up to Tom Holland as Spiderman, but there is a lot of issues I have with this film, To be honest, the Film was great it was Meh! Jake Gyllenhaal does a great job with what he was given, Tom acting does portray someone that grieving, the action is great but this is all that good about this film, ending the phase 3, to start phase 4 of marvel it not a great start.
Dislikes: There is a lot wrong with this film, One is a scene when a certain character give a coded message which made zero sense if you watch the end credit scene this was a major flaw in the film.
The other issues where the fact the villian came off very weak written, even though Jake gave his best to deliver, I feel that Myteros origin change was necessary and felt more like a rehash of what has been done before in Iron man 3.
The trailers didnt help the film iver as it shows to much of the film with spoilers, they didnt kind of bring that feminist comment slight in one scene which was a little cringe-worthy, as well as some of the humour which was funny the first time, but then repeating the same joke over and over through the whole film, it was just cringy and started to get boring.
The main issue I have with this film which ive seen in a lot of Marvel movies is this rinse and repeat formula with almost every film ive seen, the only two I havent is infinity war and End game. Because if you compare Spiderman far from home with spiderman Homecoming, it's the same setup and formula as homecoming with a different villian which show a lack in imagination which is why this film came off Meh!
The issue I see is they call this Spiderman, all im seeing is spider boy. There is nothing about this film that screams adult or Peter maturing, he the same kids that just want to have fun and be with his friends, this was all done in spiderman homecoming.
The same thing has been written again with this film, which is a problem for the future of spiderman franchise, They seriously need to bring this spiderman into the adult world grow up and more mature because if they carry on with this childish safe writing for spiderman it gonna fall flat.
We need more of what Toby and Garfield didnt with their spiderman film, not keep continuing this school theme crap, because this is what's wrong with this film, they need to write Tom Holland into a more adult spiderman because so far im not impressed with what I see.
Overall: Funny in places, Cringle worthy in others, feel more like a Rinse and respect film, was great or good more Meh! was that it.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Entertainment / 6.7 out of 10 for Sequel.

Parents advised reading before viewing the film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity:
- Peter strips down in front of MJ to put on his suit. MJ tries not to look, but she kind of does anyway. (Peter is still in his boxers)
- The main story revolves around the relationship between the main character and a girl. The main character is seen partly undressed around various women. Might be inappropriate for young children.
- There is a comedy subplot about a man's wife cheating on him while he is away. Only featured via dialogue.
- When Spider-Man puts on a new suit he says " It feels a little bit tight around the web-slinger" He is referring to his genitals
- Peter strips down in front of a Shield Agent into his "European"(?) suit, and a classmate stumbles onto the scene, takes a photo of him in his underpants next to the lady, and accuses him of trying to get it on with her (which of course was not the case). Mostly just an awkward scene then sexual.
Violence & Gore:
- Fairly standard superhero movie violence.
- A drone is ordered to kill somebody; this thankfully ends up being prevented. Other characters are specifically threatened/planned to be killed.
- Drones are shown threatening to kill people quite a few times with lasers pointed at their heads, or exploding things nearby and creating damage and falling debris.
- There is a lot of physical damage to buildings etc., falling debris, people possibly falling to their deaths or being crushed by falling structures. An entire small town is shown as destroyed. There is mention of people being collateral damage.
Profanity:
- In the trailer, Nick Fury says "Bitch, Please you've been to space"
- In one of the post-credit scenes, somebody says "What the fu-!" but the scene is cut before the statement can be finished.
- Nick Fury says Bullshit at one point in the movie
- Flash calls Peter a d**kwad as shown in (one version of) the trailers.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:
- The worst instance is a scene in a bar where someone drinks a beer while another drinks non-alcoholic lemonade
Frightening/Intense Scenes:
- The elementals may scare younger viewers
- There's a hellish illusionary experience that features some pretty dark imagery intended to disorient the subject. Not terrifying but moderately disturbing and edited for frantic pace.
