4.5/5 tbh
Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Holland were fantastic, especially Gyllenhaal.
Thought the very last end credit kinda knocked the movie down a peg but overall very good.
I thought the Happy-May storyline was a bit forced, but otherwise I really enjoyed the movie. Mysterio was great and Holland wasn't bad either. Great midcredit Scene and the porstcredit might set a few things up.
I thought the first half dragged a but, but the second half was very entertaining.
spiderman was legit :tu
Those aunt may booty close-up shots though :wow:Quote:

This was better than Homecoming and had nice tie-in with Iron Man and Captain America: Civil War. I just don't like that Mysterio was an accidental Iron Man villain and not a Spider-Man villain from the jump. Marvel really are grooming Spider-Man as Iron Man 2.0., but Peter Parker should be his own man with Uncle Ben as a mentor. But that's just me, a Spider-Man traditionalist who is wondering why MJ is now a halfrican american.
Gyllenhaal was great; I didn't think he would appear in a superhero movie, but it looks like everyone in Hollywood will be in one eventually. Mysterio was Scarecrow in steroids. It's just too bad that he only flaunted his "powers" against Spider-Man in one confrontation. Holland was good, but his romance with MJ was awkward, because I don't want to see two kids kiss. I miss the days when 30-year-olds played teenagers. Speaking of people in their 30's, why is an Asian dude in his 30's in a romantic rivalry with a teenager? That actor doesn't look 16 and he doesn't look 21 either.
Anyway, it was stupid to put the gigantic plot point of Peter Parker's identity being revealed in a mid-credits scene. I know MCU fans should know by now, but that should have happened before the credits.
Out of curiosity, how many people were actually fooled by the Mysterio twist? Imagine if Scarecrow was depicted in a Batman trailer as the hero. Mysterio is a villain, so I immediately knew that something was wrong. Did the average moviegoer, who isn't a big comic or Spidey fan, buy into Mysterio being portrayed as a hero? (Skrull) Nick Fury admitted that his story sounded like bullshit, Mysterio himself pointed out how ridiculous it sounded, and the "conflict" is resolved in the second act. Obviously, something is up. But I will say that the average moviegoer, who wants to see the next big MCU Spider-Man movie with their kids, probably didn't know.
Homecoming was better but this was still a lot of fun. I missed RD Jr.
I still can't stand how they portray MJ as edgy emo and Flash as just a non threatening side nuisance that's not funny at all.
And lol why would Tony bestow a space defense system to a high school kid instead of to his military best friend Rhodey?
I don't think Homecoming was better. Spider-Man almost caused another 9/11 by trying to stop The Vulture. Let the dude steal the plane at that point. At least Spider-Man actually doesn't make things worse in Far From Ho--oh, I just realized that he did by giving Mysetrio the glasses. I guess in Homecoming, he made things worse by trying to fix the problem, but in Far From Home, he is the one who caused the problem.Quote:

This is perhaps my biggest problem. I actualy like it's when Spider-Man is on his own, but I guess you can't really have this type of films anymore in the MCU. There will always be some other character that will show up.Quote:

None of them have shown any "must kill all humans" tendencies. And remember, Jarvis was once in control of the Iron Legion and all of Tony's extra suits in IM3. So it's more than fair to assume that Tony knew exactly what he's doing when it comes to coding an AI. He also had the sense to seek extra help from Bruce before trying to create one as powerful as Ultron. So what went wrong Ultron then?
That's easy. Marvel has officially helped confirm this theory.
https://screenrant.com/avengers-loki...-stone-thanos/
We know that Maw is Thanos' science guy, since he is always the one operating all of the devices used in Infinity War and Endgame. We can safely conclude that Thanos had Maw build the Secpter around the Mind Stone to manipulate it's power in for a singular purpose. It's main job would be influence those under it's power to start killing shit.
Ultron's code was fine. Tony fucking Stark wrote it. Shit went wrong after the code was run through the tainted Scepter to activate Ultron. Now let's ask who gave Tony the Scepter, and what made him desperate enough to activate Ultron without running it by his teammates? Wanda
First, she fucked with Tony's mind at the Hydra base by showing him all of his friends dead and the world on the brink of a deadly invasion. She then twisted that dagger for maximum damage by having Cap blame Tony for not doing more to prevent this. After all that, she just let him walk off with the Scepter to see what he'd do in desperation. Bitch fucked up, tbh.
Now let's focus on why Tony would give EDITH to Peter over Rhodey.
I'd guess that it's because he agreed with Cap. Cap was pretty clear on why he didn't wanna join the Accords. He didn't really trust in anyof governing bodies around the world. Those MF's have their own agendas and they change, a lot. Instead he prefer'd put his trust in individuals, the people. Giving EDITH to Rhodey would've meant giving it to the government, since Rhodey (presumably) is still a part of the US Army.
So,why not give to Peter then? Kid is pure of heart, though he can be gullible at times. And Let's face it, he's prolly the only other Avenger(besides Cap & Thor, duh) who's worthy enough to life Mjolnir.
There are two lefty's now wtf
who cares about flash once parker has his powers, anyway.Quote:

Wait...Nathalie Portman is going to be playing Thor?
I thought she was gonna be back as Thor's chick. :lol
Fuck yeah what if sounds dope
Surprised they went this route instead of rejuvenating the character with someone...you know young.Quote:

Sucks we gotta wait that long for more adventures of Fat Thor.
Where's guardians? Was hoping for more star lord and thor shenanigans
Dr Strange definitely sounds like the best of the announced movies tbh. The described as "psychedelic" and a "scary movie" also ties directly into WandaVison and has Scarlett Witch in it. Plus actually getting to see the multiverse.
Looks like it's going to be 2022 possibly with Captain Marvel 2, Black Panther 2 and Spiderman 3 (possibly including Daredevil)Quote:

The adult version of Monica Rambeau (the kid from Captain Marvel) will appear in WandaVison.
In the comics she was the second Captain Marvel but also one was several superheroes including Photon, Pulsar and Spectrum.
So SW will go bananas at the end of WandaVision leading to a House of M esque storyline for Doc Strange 2? It would give MCU a way to officially introduce Mutants.
alright well, looks like im going to sign up for disney+ :lol
This. Portman turned in arguably the worst acting job of any semi-major character in the MCU.Quote:

The movies announced make up all of Phase 4.
Sort of weird but Phase 5 will apparently start in 2022 and run through 2023.
I've heard that we'll also be getting a Spidey flick in phase 4. It wasn't announced by Fiege since Sony holds the rights for his solo adventures. If true, Sony will likely make an official announcement b4 the end of the year.
Jane Foster was female Thor in the comics, but still I didn’t see that one coming :lol totally out of the blue
Really looking forward to Doctor Strange 2 ... Scarlet Witch and maybe Nightmare?
Hell yeah
Blade is back and it’s wonderful and I loved that they went with Ali.
Snipes will always be Blade but I’m totally ok with this
Also, David Harbour will play ..... Alexei ? :lol
By the way the JK Simmons surprise appearance as JJ in Spidey 2 :cry
Yeah I like how they moved JJ/daily bugle to a .com medium.
More Infowars style, as it was the case in the PS4 gameQuote:

Well, with any luck Jane gets the cancer from the comics and all this stuff doesn't' last too long.

and yet in thor 1 he lost his powers when he wasn't in control of mjolnir... i think once he became "worthy" enough to hold the hammer, he regained the power, with or without the weapon. but clearly cap was shooting lightning at thanos with mjolnir...Quote:

Aaaaaaand
No more Spidey in the MCU
I doubt that. I'm actually in sonys side here. But I wonder if Disney is going to try and just tank sonys stock far enough that they can just buy them.Quote:

How much longer does Sony own Spidey movie rights
yesQuote:

marvels just asking for too much. nothings stopping them from coming back to the table. spiderman is still the biggest name in marvel comics, so they probably should
sony has made a lot of money from Venom, into the Spider-verse and all the early Spider-Man movies (even Amazing SM, ugh), so they pretty much are betting on themself and think they can make money on their own. I am actually happy i won't have to see SM in phase 4, which looks like shit so far. No Iron Man, no Cap America, no Spider-Man and pretty much fucking up Thor and Hulk. Good luck MCU.
The way I understand it, they have an agreement with the Marvel in which they have to make a Spider-Man related movie every few years (probably 3-5 years) or else the rights revert back to Marvel (Disney).Quote:

They're screwed though because MCU fans are blaming them and they could actually really affect box-office sales of future Spider-Man movies going forward, if Sony does keep Spider-Man to themselves.
As it stands, Sony is going to get at least two more ~billion dollar movies with Venom 2 and Spider-Man/Venom. I can't see any of the other characters being worth much of a shit unless an amazing director takes a shine to the likes of Kraven the Hunter or something.
Only the Doctor Strange movie looks like a surefire blowout for Phase 4 so far. Keeping a pitch perfect Tom Holland in the MCU before he starts looking his age would seem to be a priority, even if it only means getting a little piece of the Sony movies. Is anyone champing at the bit to see a Shang-Chi/Natalie Thortman team up?
if Sony wants to make a lot of money, get Raimi and make a multiverse movie with Holland, Tobey and Garfield. If Venom made 850M, i am sure that movie would double that.
Unless they get Miller/Lord to helm I'm not interested in the slightest.Quote:

After Sony cashes in does anyone really believe when this phase is done Sony won't be standing on top of a third fucked up Spiderman franchise? Wash rinse repeat after that I guess.
i'd be 100% behind sony on this except that they fuck up their marvel movies
75 years of proven, readymade script material and they can't help but focus group their films to death
