In the
theater I attended with a few friends, we all had a good time, we sat together,
we spoke to each other while we waited for the movie to start and just
speculated. The crowd was exactly what you want for a movie like this. You had
excitement, you had people speculating what's going to happen as far as box
office. I have my thoughts going into the movie and I have some differences
after I left and I'll go into that a little bit later. I want to let you know
that this is going to be a non-spoiler review. Later, after the film is
released I will talk more in depth and post an ending revealed, everything you
want to know all spoiler heavy review. So no spoilers right now.
Spider-man:
Far From Home had the feels. It was like no other spider-man. I probably felt
the way I felt as a twenty two year old young man when the first Spider Man
came out and then again with its sequel. The same kind of feelings that was
elevated then came back again. It was a combination of those two movies as far
as the excitement and the hype because this was the sequel. Tom Holland, as we
all know, has been doing an outstanding job as a spider-man. He's been crushing
it and I think he needs to be recognized for that ever since Homecoming ever
and since Civil War he's been crushing it as Peter Parker and as our latest
spider-man.
This
one was more of an emotional tearjerker, gut wrenching roller coaster. Our hero
asking himself “how can I be the Next Iron Man” and “how am I going to live up
to that much pressure” Getting bitten by a
radioactive
spider and becoming a hero and being worried about becoming an Avenger, now
that he is an Avenger its “can I live up to the legacy of Iron Man”. Now he has
to live up to these expectations with the world watching and looming around. He
wanted to be Peter Parker more than anything else and take a mental break from
Spider-man. Not that he wanted to give up on everything and everybody, it was
that this is starting to become too much and I just want to just reset,
re-calibrate and reconfigure things. Just like Homecoming, the questions came
up again, why can't you just be a friendly neighborhood spider-man That's what
Iron man wanted for him and he really tries to reach. After being snapped and
brought back, he had to fight this Titan and do this insta-kill madness during
Endgame and now he just wants to relax.
Homecoming
was compared to like Ferris Bueller. The thing I felt Far From Home gave us,
with the traveling, going from place to place kind of reminded me of the
National Lampoon's European vacation film. One thing that popped into my head
when I watched this movie was how it felt good, it just really felt good.
it was what people say is a feel-good movie and yes and it wasn't just a
feel-good movie it felt good watching this movie. Iit felt really good sitting
there. I could not contain myself at
times, I just had to applaud at least four or five moments in this movie.
Jake
Gyllenhaal really brought it coming in as the hero to help out
S.H.E.I.L.D. being stranded from his dimension. Having a rip in the fabric of
space/time, so we have a guy from alternative world helping out and playing the
part of the hero. The dynamic between Spider-Man and the Mysterio character
Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Holland, it reminded me a lot of the banter and the
back and forth with Iron Man. Tom Cruise was thought to be Iron Man but I could
see if it was done a little bit differently a younger Iron Man in a Jake
Gyllenhaal. I think he could have been a good Iron Man. Who knows if we
ever reboot this whole thing maybe he could be the next Iron Man.
Zendaya,
the thing I loved about her is that she was still the same character from
homecoming. Kind of deep, she's kind of dark and she has to put her defenses up
and she's a very smart girl but people don’t know how to take her sense of
humor and her style and you felt that in homecoming. so you can tell there were
walls that are just up with her and the thing I love about this movie is they
start to come down. Tom and her are dating in real life and here, you can tell
you can feel it in their interactions. Jacob Bertolon he even funnier than he
was in part as the guy in the chair. He was a delight and he really brought it
home more than once in every scene he was in he instantly crushed and and he
really added to that feel good, good
feelings good vibes to the movie.
Samuel
l. Jackson, people didn't know how to take his more upbeat side in a younger
version of Nick Fury in Captain Marvel. In the trailer when he says “bitch
please, you've been to space” it's just his is straightforward no nonsense
approach that was what was needed, that's something that was missing in this
movie. You got a lot of people that helped shape the Iron Man character and the
supporting characters that really helped Robert Downey jr. make that character
what it is today. I feel that same thing is happening for Tom Holland and how
he's shaping up and I think Samuel Jackson really did a good number and did a
lot of favors in his performance and that just like he did for Robert Downey
jr. In the development of what and who this character is and can be and I feel
like that was done properly.
Was
better or then homecoming or not? We went straight for the kill, we went to
straight to is it better than
spider-man
2, is it better than the spider-verse? these are the lines right now and that's
probably going to be your my your top three as far as spider-man movies. What
they did with the special effects with Mysterio and
with
everything going on it was more than incredible it was downright just
impossible on a budget that they had. It wasn't on the level of like the
Avengers infinity wars or Endgame but it was so damn close it was right
there.
I would say an infinity, Endgame and then this as far as special effects wise.
Let me
know if you guys have already seen the movie. if you can't wait to see the
movie, what your thoughts are on it? please if you have seen the movies don't
spoil it but if you want to talk about it directly with me just email me let me
know what you guys think and until next time guys.
