It looks like Marvel Studios has another hit on their hands. TheSpider-Man: Far from Homefirst reactions are in and they are positive, with some calling it the most “comic book-like” movie out of anything the Marvel Cinematic Universe has churned out to date.Avengers: Endgameis still lurking around the box office and is coming to theaters again this weekend with some new footage to entice repeat viewing and prepare fans forFar From Home.
Spider-Man: Far From Homebrings Tom Holland back as theyoung Peter Parker. However, things are not the same from the last time we saw him. For one, he was Decimated inInfinity War, which had him displaced for five years. Now, his mentor and father figure, Tony Stark, is dead after the tragic events ofEndgame. The young hero just wants a normal European summer vacation with his friends, but it doesn’t look likeFar From Homeis going to allow that to happen.
Nick Fury brings Peter Parker together with Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio in an attempt to stopthe Elementals, who are wreaking havoc on Europe and reportedly the ones responsible for destroying Mysterio’s version of Earth. From the sound of things, Marvel Studios has delivered another hit. The box office estimates were already off to a great start for the upcoming holiday week release, and now it seems those numbers may even get higher through positive word-of-mouth. While we’d all love to know if Mysterio ends up becoming a foe by the end ofSpider-Man: Far From Home, the reactions below are completely SPOILER-FREE.
One viewer already wants to go seeSpider-Man: Far From Homeagain and calls it a “Homerun.” Apparently the combination ofTom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaalis something MCU fans did not know they needed. Zendaya’s performance of MJ has also been praised and the early reactions are happy to say she has an expanded role this time around. While the sequel is getting rave early reviews, there are more than a few who aren’t sure if it can get out from beneath the major shadow ofSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
There have already been some warnings related toSpider-Man: Far From Home. More than one early reaction says MCU fans should already plan on having to see it in the theater twice, which sounds like a good problem to have. “My jaw dropped. And then dropped again. It’s a paradigm shift,” says one viewer. For fans wondering howFar From Homefits intoEndgame, it apparently is the perfect epilogue that will remind MCU fans why they love Marvel Studios so much. Overall, it sounds like Marvel Studios is closing out Phase 3 with another hit. you may check out some of theSpider-Man: Far From Homefirst impressions below, starting withHeather Catlin’s Twitterreaction.
