My Review of "Spider-Man: Far From Home"

Spoilers Ahead!!!!!!!!!

Spider-Man Far From Home sends the Infinity Saga out on a great note.

The story line was excellent. I'm glad they kept bringing up Iron Man and not just sweeping his death under the rug. Them reintroducing a certain character from the first Iron Man film was an excellent idea. Also, them reintroducing a certain technology piece that Tony Stark created in Captain America: Civil War was an awesome idea. The plot twists in this movie were great as well, Mysterio's true purpose was not what I was expecting, but it was the best course of action that they took.

The characterization and character development was very well done also. Michelle Jones (AKA MJ) is arguably the best love interest for Spider-Man in all of the movies, and Zendaya's chemistry with Tom Holland was adorable. Them focusing on Betty Brant's character was a smart idea, her interactions with Ned was hilarious.

The acting was powerful also. Tom Holland has proved that he is the right choice to be the new face of the MCU. Tom Holland, in my opinion, has now solidified my claim that he is the best actor to play Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Zendaya did a great job also as MJ, she really impressed me and has shown me that she is a very talented actress. Jake Gyllenhaal, while not the best Spider-Man villain, was a worthy foe for Spider-Man, and a great villain casting choice for the MCU.

The film's action scenes were some of their coolest yet. The visuals also in the fight scenes were incredible as well. Spider-Man's action scenes are overlooked too much, hope this film gets a lot of recognition for the action.

The post credits scenes were excellent. The return of J.K. Simmons as J.Jonah Jameson was a dream come true for me, and the revelation that Mysterio leaked Spider-Man's identity before he died (I heavily doubt that he is dead however) is the perfect setup for the third Spider-Man film.

Overall, Spider-Man: Far From Home ended Phase 3 of the MCU on the perfect note and featured an excellent and unpredictable story line, well done and hilarious humor, strong characterization, a worthy new foe for the MCU, excellent visual effects, unique and well done action scenes, strong chemistry between Tom Holland and Zendaya, setting up an intriguing third Spider-Man film, return of J. Jonah Jameson, and strong performances from Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jake Gyllenhaal, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jon Favreau, to produce, in my opinion, the best Spider-Man film ever, the best MCU movie, and the second greatest superhero movie of all time, right behind the The Dark Knight.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
