Ah yes, this grand singular being known as Era never criticizes the MCU. Ever.
Not at all. ERA loves all MCU stuff :) - Hell, I do for the most part. I think there've only been...two MCU movies I didn't like? I'm just a bit surprised there isn't "more" dissent on this one.
Yeah, true. Just thought ERA would be a little more critical of it. Just because the general public is cool with a lot of different stuff, doesn't mean ERA has been.
Hahaha, maybe they are? I haven't stuck around long enough in those threads to notice. I guess the first week everyone is bound to be excited over and love everything.
I saw it and thought it wasjust good below Spider-verse and Spider-Man 2, Homecoming. There were issues with the pacing and the comedy was sometimes a bit over the top.
That said I think they were doing fine with spiderman. Trying to give you all the things that make him eandearingn while also doing something new.
I dont think the whole friendly neighborhood stuggle would be new enough for mass audiences to come see this yet anoher time after the two previous installments.
Longer term ithink this has amazing potential.

Absolutely. You manage to get Spider-Man in the MCU, you damn well need to make the most of it lol
I love it. I've had enough Spiderman drama from the older films that I think I'm more than ok with this more lighthearted themed one. I've never really read the comics, but Mysterio is great, unusual different villain, Gyllenhaal is great as him lol. Zendaya is cute. She and Peter are so awkward haha
Only minor gripe is Peter giving the EDITH glasses to Mysterio so quickly, which I felt was a bit off. But the scene after that was wack lol.
JK Simmons coming back was great haha. Luckily I never got spoiled on that.
I wonder how they're gonna continue this going forward with the reveal, and I also wonder if they're ever gonna go back and do another Osborn / Dr. Oct storyline.
Anyway Spider-verse is still my best spidey film, but this one is pretty good :P

Peter is probably the quippiest character with the lamest jokes in the most inappropriate situations, in the entirety of Marvel's comic book roster of characters, and people are seriously complaining about too much comedy and quips in this movie. :|
As far as I'm concerned the MCU under the direction of Feige truly gets all of these characters and honours the source material, while adapting it to another medium and making them accessible for non-readers. We're in the golden age of comic book movies and I'm loving it.

Maybe some people are just being overly picky or over thinking it....
The movie is a ton of fun and has great characters, action, humour and is everything a Spider-Man movie should be. Most people love it because it's a well made, extremely fun movie. It does exactly what it intended and looks to be another big hit for the MCU.
Nothing wrong with not liking it but you will definitely be the minority on that opinion.
Saw it yesterday. "Fun movie" is the perfect definition. It's just a good time.
The sequence where Mysterio started really using his "powers" on Spiderman in the second act is where the movie DID start feeling like a Spiderman movie. Gave me the same feelings that I got from the Raimi flicks which isn't a bad thing since the rest of the movie is slathered in MCU sauce.
I understand why people would think it had a slow start but these days I'm all for a little bit of slice of life + world building before the "big stuff" happens. This movie had to address the aftermath of Endgame and it did that while reintroducing us to Peter's world, his friends, family, etc.
Laughed many times throughout. Most of the humor landed for me.
The mid-credits and end-credits scenes were HYPE.
Not sure how it stacks up to Homecoming which I also liked but yeah, thumbs up. Similar to Shazam, I walked out with a joyful, excited feeling.

We're expecting Eternals and Black Widow next year I'm pretty sure, just needs an official announcement at Comic-Con.
God I love everything about the MCU spidey. The cast is perfect again and the chemistry is top notch.
Kudos to Holland who nailed the emotional scenes really well.
And yep, the post credits stuff got me extremely hyped for the sequel.

"Peter Tingle" is just a funny name for the Spider Sense, right?
While I kind of wanted MORE sequences of Mysterio playing around with Peter in the illusion, I can appreciate how they let Peter get beat up, forcing him to learn to hone his skills and then use his senses to defeat Mysterio. They didn't drag any of those parts out.
It was almost TOO perfect of a setup and payoff but I ain't complaining.

Yes, I loved this entire thing. Calling back to 2008 was genius. Also, I wasn't sure about Gyllenhaal at first but when he lets loose it's just great. He goes from unconvincing to convincing at the flick of a switch. Satisfying character moment.
Speaking of Nightcrawler, that's the movie that sold me on him FOREVER.
One day...
Yeah, Unlikely that he will not meet them at some point.
Spider-man is a street-level hero that goes a big mission sometimes.
Can we just get a weird movie where Daredevil and She-Hulk are lawyers in a case against Spidey, who is being framed by Kingpin and Taskmaster is somehow involved?
I just realized we kinda got a taste of that with the Scorpion fight.
Anyone have any clue what's going on with this LEGO set? It's branded as Far From Home but it's almost like it's based off a deleted scene or something.
Watching the credits right now. Can't believe the mad bastards got him back! I'm over the moon!
lego sets are never accurate, but it looks like it's loosely based on the scene where Happy + the kids get stuck in the museum, but they just include Spidey and Maria Hill minifigs for whatever reason.
edit: nvm I mixed them up after reading deleted scene, this is based on the final scene with Happy and the kids in the museum.
I hope so. I'd expect him back for a Sinister Six movie.
Saw it again last night. I think this might end up being my new favorite Spider-Man film, Homecoming is great but this is an improvement.
I'd also say this is better than Spider-Verse, like, that movie is really good, but it's not this relavatory, untouchable masterpiece that some superfans of the movie out there would have you believe. Some people are needlessly over the top when it comes to that one.

Yep. Aside from the mid-credit scene nothing really bad happened (and that mid-credit scene isn't really a result of any bad thing Peter did).
The dude made so many mistakes and gets zero retribution for it. He walks out on Fury when he asks him to save the goddamn world just so he can go on a goddamn class trip. So much for responsibility.
At times I feel that this Peter, despite his nerdiness and earnestness is almost as far away from comics Peter than the Amazing Spider-Man movie version was.
The best rendition was in Civil War, he was way better there than in either of the Spider-Man films.

We have dates for unspecified Marvel movies, the next one is in March. It would have to be Black Widow as that is currently filming though it just hasn't been officially announced yet.
Seems like both Ryan Coogler and Jon Watts would like to get their hands on Kraven:
Come on Sony, just drop your plan, and give them access to the character. Marvel Studios wants it, the audience wants it.

The next one is on May 1.
They'll highly likely announce a slate of new movies on July 20. Next one is Black Widow on May 1 2020. And then Eternals follows in November 2020. Shang-Chi after that in February 2021.
ITT we complain that shell-shocked victims need to put away their happiness in the name of a distorted idea of responsibility.
In hindsight, EDITH is pretty dumb and Nick Fury shouldn't have been in the movie.
Also, Happy tells Peter he can never be Iron Man, only Spider-Man, then he puts on AC/DC while Peter makes a suit in the back like Iron Man would.
Spider-Verse is a Swiss Clock of a film. It does new things in animation and comic book films no one had seen before. Far From Home, while good, is more of the same.

The film states then immediately contradicts its theme in that scene.
Far From Home is full of way more distracting plot holes and pacing issues.
