Spider-Man: Far From Home

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Huge fun.

Some wobbly-bordered 3D in some of the real-stuff shots, crowd scenes and the like, while the web-spinning and flipping was all spot-on.

Spoilers in this edit and behind this cut.

Two Spider-Man movies about multiverses in six months might have been a bit much.

I love that Mysterio’s modernised outfit is literally a mocap suit.

J. Jonah Jameson, you black-hearted fiend!

Depending on how long Nick Fury has been away, he and Maria Hill may have been in the film from the first scene to the last... and not been in the film at all.

The video tribute got me a little choked up right at the start even while laughing at its cheesiness. (And the people at Getty Images were probably delighted to get the product placement that comes with someone in-character not paying for image rights.)

I also love that Talos is an alien infiltrator who is... quite good at that, but acknowledges when he gets in over his head.

“That’s a halberd.”

And yes, they address the drinking age issue.

A super-character with a support crew is a great hook, by the way.
