How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
:obama: Pretty good movie. Mysterio was dope, that last fight scene was :whoo: in 4DX. That’s the best way to see this. And just about all comic movies
The fight scenes were so ducking incredible, I did not expect that at all. Watching Zendaya in this and then watching her in Euphoria is so fukking crazy, she is gonna be one of the biggest stars in the world in a few years.

Didn't plan on seeing this but I did because a friend wanted to.

It was what I expected based on the premise... not good. Really weird movie. Holland is great but these Spider-Man movies are not good.

Getting kind of annoyed of these undercooked villains that are decent, but if they had a little more solo screen time to develop and create drama... they could be great.


MCU lately seem to avoid drama scenes that really elevate a character. They give the stage for villains like Killmonger, Thanos, Vulture, Loki, and etc.

It kind of bugs me of how lazy it is. When they did the bad guy big reveal... it was ehhh and lazy.

The villain needed some real drama to push the story to the next level not a cliff note scene... "We are the bad guys reveal scene"

That scene and scene prior was by far some of the worst, forced storytelling that I've witness in the MCU.

It was OK for me as well. A lot of flat and awkward jokes that didn't work. The set up felt forced, in fact, a lot of things felt forced, especially the new Iron Man stuff. I think it's strange this is a world where Steve Rogers is presumed to be dead but everyone is only concerned about Iron Man's replacement. However, the action scenes, particularly the way they shot the crazy stuff Peter was seeing was fantastic and saved it for me.

I think it's like a 6.5 out of 10.

Cap isn't really presumed dead so much as out of action.

It's almost like this movie was made with the 4dx in mind with the water and explosions and action. That shyt at the end turned into a universal Ride lmao!

Kevin Feige Promises a Peter Parker Story That’s “Never Been Done Before on Film” in Spider-Man: Far From Home Sequel

The Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel will go places no Spider-Man movie has ever gone before, promises Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige. Major spoilers follow.

“I think so,” Feige told Fandango when asked if Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) secret identity being exposed by The Daily Bugle’s J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) in the Far From Home mid-credits scene will be a major storyline moving forward.

“Much like the end of Iron Man, saying, okay, the rules have changed. Which now means we're going to have to do something completely different next time.”

Unlike Marvel Studios’ first blockbuster, which ended with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) publicly declaring “I am Iron Man,” Peter’s carefully guarded secret identity was blown through the efforts of fraudster Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) and ex-Stark Industries employee William Ginter Riva (Peter Billingsley).

While similar storylines have played out in the comic books, Feige promises “everything’s different” for our hero moving forward.

“The how and the when and the specifics can change and evolve, but setting yourself up for something that has never been done before... at the end of Iron Man, it was a hero publicly outing himself so that in the next movies and all subsequent movies, we couldn't fall back on the secret identity trope which had been part of Iron Man's story for decades in the comics,” Feige said.

“And now people know Peter's identity. People now think he's a villain, Mysterio plays one last trick on him and succeeds... [so that] means everything's different. Where it goes, we'll see. But it's exciting that it once again sets us up for a Peter Parker story that has never been done before on film.”

The Far From Home mid-credits scene could be set up for Mac Gargan (Michael Mando) to menace Spider-Man as the Scorpion, but director Jon Watts has not yet detailed plans for a third film.

“I mean, I try to think about it one movie at a time,” Watts said in an earlier interview.

“We’re definitely telling the story of this kid growing up, and we end the movie putting him in a very unique spot that we really haven’t seen Spider-Man in before in the films. So, I don’t know. For me, I’ll wait until the next one to start to figure out how we’re going to get to where I want it to end.”

You know what I appreciate most about these spiderman joints. They letting the character cook a bit before they come with the heavy losses. Too often people want the character to have deaths and heavy burdens bring the character down before we have even had a chance to know them. If they killed Ned one movie into it nobody would care because we haven't had a chance to bond with the character. It would be just checking something off a list instead of an actual emotional beat.

Let Spiderman come into his own and get some confidence before you start dumping on him. Hopefully we get a full slate of these films to fill out a complete story instead of just a trilogy.
