That is what I've come to expect from 90% of the Marvel movies. Some are Bad, and very few lean towards being Great.
However childish the movie may feel for some, the story was perfectly fine which is not common for action movies including some of the post 2005 Marvel movies... And even if it doesn't feel very special, unique or whatever you expected it to be, you cannot deny that the directing work was decent to say the least!
Most of all, my 8 out of 10 is earned by the acting in this movie.
P.S.: If you are rating this movie a 1/10 you're simply having issues with it being different from what you were expecting and cannot accept that not every movie is a Stark movie. But I tell you, to be a good reviewer is to see the beauty in differences.

This movie was good but had too few battle scenes! Nick Fury is still his character and the special effects are pretty good!

This film was so much better than I anticipated. Yes there is the underlying soppy high school mush but overall it is a brilliant super hero action film. Tom Holland is again brilliant as our web wielding hero and Jake Gyllanhall give a great performance too. The action scences are amazing and have excellent cgi moments. Overall great fun and well worth a watch

Tense action, romance, comedy, visual effects, sadness united and made the story very lossful to miss a second. Tom Holland made the spiderman live again after Tobie, forget Andrew (no ofense). Don't forget the credit scene, it's very important.
It's really the best spiderman movie . You surely won't regret the money spent on it. It's a complete package. Tom holland giving his best . It's just wowww.
Better go and grab the tickets people

This has to be one of the greatest marvel films ever, the acting, CGI and the story were all phenomenal, really looking forward to the next spider man, and I really hope that Tom Holland stays on as spider man for a lot longer and I hope to see him star in other Marvel films within the MCU!

"Spider-Man: Far from Home" is a typical film for youngsters or fans of Marvel, CGI and explosions. The storyline is silly, the screenplay is not as funny as the writer intended to be and the hero is annoying. Anyway entertains if the viewer has lower expectation and does not have a better option. The cliffhanger in the credits is one of the best scenes. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Homem-Aranha: Longe de Casa" ("Spider-Man: Far from Home")

This film far surpasses Homecoming. The action scenes are fantastic and it ties in well with the Marvel universe. Solid story and very good rogue. Go watch and enjoy.

The closing chapter to the MCU's phase 3, Spider-man far from home brilliantly ends the arc of Tony Stark and the initial trilogy of MCU phases. It was a blend of paying respects to the past but building and looking into the future of the MCU, all packed into a charming Spider-man movie filled with fun and excitement.
Jake Gyllenhal's mysterio was one of the best MCU villains in my opinion, making Spider-Man one of the strongest franchises in terms of its rogue gallery in cinematic form. With Vulture and Mysterio bein two of the most interesting and complex in MCU history. Spider-man: far from home was a great palate cleanser that prepares us for the next chapter in the epic MCU saga.
I am now more excited than ever about the potential of storylines, characters and the MCU multiverse.

Review:
Will they ever get this franchise right? I really wasn't a fan of this film because the whole "teenager on a school trip" concept was ridiculous, and the script was awful. They tried there utmost to make it funny, but it just didn't work, and Tom Holland's constant whining about how much he wanted to be with his school friends, and trying to get the girl, became tedious after a while. I can't believe that Spider-man went through the whole of Infinity War and Endgame, saving the world with the Avengers, and ended up dodging Nick Fury's calls because he wanted to be with his friends. On top of that, the humongous creatures that were attacking Europe weren't enough for the school to cancel the trip, which was totally unrealistic. The major twist in the film was also written badly, which was a shame because I actually liked Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) before he turned dark. On the plus side, I did like seeing the aftermath of Tony Stark death, and how the so-called "blip" affected the world, but with all that in mind, Spider-man still was acting like an immature teenager, even though he was heavily involved in the battle against Thanos. The whole drone concept was also completely ridiculous, and the fact that no one realised that it was all an illusion, blew my mind. Although I found the film disappointing, Tom Holland is a good Spider-man, in terms of his movements and action scenes, but I think it's about time that he took his role as a super-hero seriously. I don't know how close the character is to the comics, so I can't totally blame the director for his vision but I'm really getting fed up with his boyish behaviour, especially after Tony Stark took him under his wing. The action scenes made the film watchable, even though they were extremely far-fetched, and the ending left the franchise open for many possibilities, but I still expected more after Endgame. Disappointing!
Round-Up: This movie was directed by Jon Watts, who also brought you Cop Car, starring Kevin Bacon, and Spider-Man: Homecoming, which was also disappointing. He's returning to direct another Spider-Man movie, which is due out in July 2021, after Tom Holland saved the film from cancellation by forcing renegotiations with Sony and Disney. It's the 28th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with other movies being released from the MCU franchise beforehand, the plot of the next Spider-Man is unknown. I hope they show a different side to this character because the gullible Spider-Man concept has been done to death.
Budget: $160million Worldwide Gross: $1.13billion
Genre: Action, Adventure. Sci-Fi Cast: Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, J.K. Simmons, Angourie Rice, Martin Starr, J.B. Smoove, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Cobie Smulders and Numan Acar. 4/10

Wow! This movie shocked me with how amazing it was *pun intended*. I've been a Spidey fan for as long as I can remember and this is the best I've seen him in a movie yet, and I can't wait to see what the MCU does with him going forward. If you were worried that Marvel Studios is gonna be declining after Endgame, then this movie will put those worries to rest. Very ready to see what phase 4 has to offer!

I didn't think any Spider-Man movie could top Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 2, but I was happily proven wrong.
The storyline and villain is (in my opinion) one of the best marvel has created, the action scenes and cgi were incredible, the dialogue (as always) was perfectly balanced and entertaining, and the acting was spot-on; Tom Holland really shines.
Can't wait to see what comes next in the franchise, especially after that end credit scene!

Homecoming, I loved. It was perhaps on par with Raimi's Spider-Man 2, with the fact that we had a real Spider-Man giving it the slight edge.
Far From Home? Completely surpasses Spider-Man 2. If you don't see this as the best movie of the bunch, perhaps you'll agree it's the best live Spidey action you've ever seen on screen! Every part of this has the Lee/ Ditko DNA lovingly sewn in despite it's modernity, they know what makes these stories and characters tick like no one else ever has and show it by delivering emotional characterisations brought straight from the comics, keeping the settings and action new and fresh as they do.
Buckle up for the third, because we are about to get a lot more of what we are familiar with and thanks to the MCU build up, it's going to resonate and matter a hell of a lot more.
Stay for those post credit scenes; especially mid-credit, that one is the best Marvel have ever done!

Marvel has proven that they can maintain smaller stories that more than hold up to epics like infinity war/endgame. Peter struggles to grow into his role as Spider-man after the passing of Tony Stark (may he rest in peace) and each character evolves in a new way under the pressures of romance and an amazingly written villain with an incredible amount of character depth. This is an absolute must-see.
In the wake of the bombastic success of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios return here with a smaller yet still lively summer flick starring everyone's favourite neighbourhood superhero. Turns out audiences are not the only ones who need to recover from the furore of recent events in the MCU (not least Thanos' genocidal antics now christened in-universe as 'The Blip'). Spider-Man: Far From Home sees our titular hero take a well-earned rest as he embarks on a school trip to Europe with his friends. He doesn't even pack his trusty suit... it's time for a bit of normality. Of course, events don't quite turn out as expected and Peter is dragged swiftly back into the world-saving game, this time to battle the multidimensional Elementals and other hidden and perhaps even more dangerous enemies.
Much of the creative talent behind 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming return for this spirited and entertaining sequel that ends up being satisfying both for its character and in its place in the ever-widening MCU. Tom Holland dons the webbed suit yet again as Spider-Man; if he wasn't brilliant before, this time he seems even more comfortable in the role, delivering a charming, vulnerable and seemingly effortless performance. Director Jon Watts also returns proving himself to be a sure hand, his clear vision for the film shining through with distinctive style. There's a notable new addition however in writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers who deliver a smart script, often hilarious and always genuine. Far From Home is certainly a Spider-Man film on a sheer scale we haven't seen before; largely, it's handled quite well, remaining mostly grounded amid globe-trotting and narrative twists and turns. Occasionally, we lose some of the cohesion and it feels a little overstuffed and expository, but honestly this film is so fast-paced and energetic you can't help but enjoy the ride even when everything doesn't quite jell. Equally, there are far too many brilliant aspects to take in; take for instance the seamless action sequences which are neatly interchanged with intimate and believable drama. The temptation with movies of this kind is to fall into mindless action and forget the substance but Far From Home keeps its characters purely at its heart. There's nice references, for example, to Endgame that really inform Peter's arc in the film and provide the film's understated yet decidedly emotional impact. Whilst the overall package might not be as tight as its predecessor, Far From Home makes appropriate attempts to hone in on some characters and narrative vignettes in more detail (for example, Zendaya's MJ is far more fleshed out here and Peter's own sense of identity and responsibility is thoughtfully explored). Again, it's not all plain sailing; Jake Gyllenhaal's Syndrome-esque Mysterio is very hit and miss, his great moments bogged down by some of the lesser writing and obligatorily clunky exposition.
In the end, however, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an impressive film, more than making up for its faults. It's fiercely entertaining, packed full of humour, action thrills and plenty of unexpected twists to keep the audience gripped (speaking of which, stay for two critical post-credits scenes). Equally, there's some fantastic visual effects work that sometimes even echoes of the illusionary sequences in Doctor Strange. Jon Watts and his team deliver a satisfying sequel here full of interesting choices yet still staying true to the style established in Homecoming. Ultimately, regardless of its position in the Marvel canon, Far From Home has all the elements of the perfect summer popcorn movie; action thrills, big laughs, a likeable cast and brilliant visuals really allow it to recover from momentary snags and reach the finish line in splendour. Expertly crafted and with an unabashed sense of fun, Spider-Man: Far From Home is an assured Marvel instalment that hungers for a rewatch.
Absolutely nailed the Spider-Man franchise! Tom Holland brought a great balance of Peter Parker and Spider-Man the storyline was exactly what I was hoping out of this movie and the end credits scene was totally BOSS!!! Keen for the next one!

This I would say is a must watch for July. Give or take it's odd tuesday release, you can have a lot of fun with this one. Tom Holland once again dud an outstanding job as Peter Parker/Spider Man. Jake Gylanhall as Mysterio was also really good. There were some major twists and turns for him and it really adapted this movie. For something coming out after the events of Endgame, this handles "Post Unsnap Effects" really well. Only problem was that it was really fast paced and at times feels really short. Other than that highly recommend!
