    Definitely loved it. It has a spider Man and friends feeling. I expected it to feel a little kiddish considering it's high school kids. Leave the serious stuff to the Captain America series. Crap that's over.

    I love the direction it's going. It feels like it's about to get serious and Peter is going to have to mature faster and the story lines will be more along the adult Spiderman stories I enjoyed.

    Spider Man? Space? Awesome cameo appearance that may not be a cameo? Hmmmmm

    Loved it. Tom Holland is such a badass cast as Spidey.

    Great movie and really captured a young Spider-Man well. Mysterio was awesome. Definitely one of the best Spider-Man movies and in the top tier of MCU

    My biggest gripe was probably Ned's character. He became super whiny and worrisome for some reason. Basically went from "heck yeah, I'll be the robin to Spidey's batman" in Homecoming to "please remember to lead the bad guys away from us. I'm so scared" in Far from Home.

    Not really sure why they made the character shift, but it was really jarring. I know Peter's best friend had to be in the movie, but I honestly could have done without him being in this movie.

    Loved it.

    My biggest complaint is that they spent too much time with Spider-Man and not enough with Mysterio. Peter Parker was definitely cramping what was an incredible Mysterio movie.

    (in case you can't tell, Mysterio is an all-time favorite villain for me)

    The biggest shock for me, other than the final end credit was

    JK Simmons is back as J. Jonah Jameson!!!

    I'm up for a Night Monkey spinoff series.

    Spiderman 2
    Spiderman: Enter the SpideyVerse
    SPiderman: HomeComing
    Spiderman: Far from home

    for me.

    I will say this. . . .These Spiderman movies are absolutely KILLING The Villians
    Vulture was FAR BETTER than I had ever seen him
    Mysterio is so spot on and showed how badass he could be .. . i never gave him much in the way of props but
    This Movie show why he is great

    Loved the film - loved it more than Homecoming. I thought Mysterio was done really well and the next movie in the Holland spiderman is set up really well too.

    Yeah, that's a good point. I guess for me having 'drones' be the answer to everything was just not very inventive. I saw a comment somewhere about how this tech would have been really useful in the previous movie :p

    Can't reiterate it enough, if anyone is a big spidey fan, watching Spiderverse should be at the top of the list of things to do. It's on netflix now as well.

    Easy.

    People that now know Spidey's identity: his high school classmates, bad guys, New York, the world.

    Shenanigans ensue. Iron Man 2 didn't exactly deal with the fallout of Stark announcing he was Iron Man, maybe because it was in the most positive light possible. But now, since Spidey is painted to be a bad guy AND a kid, he has a huge target on his back.

    Lots of story to be mined. Lots.

    But the whole point of spiderman is him being able to still be peter parker and live out his normal life while protecting ones he loves.

    True, but I like the direction they're going. No other Spidey movie has dealt the with repercussions of Parker's identity being outed like this, so I'm very interested to see how future Spidey movies play out.

    If I'm not mistaken, the reins are handed back to Fox now. Hopefully, they'll let Marvel make more movies.

    Plz bring Deadpool into the next Spider-Man movie. Even if it’s PG-13 it would work
