Seriously how can people overlook that plot hole? You can argue that Peter is still the same age when the snap happened. That's fine but the survivors don't know that, the creators should have him take his GED. What about his peers, did they survive the snap? If they did, then what was the point of the five-year gap if it doesn't make things awkward?
Spider-Man far from home: This movie takes place 8 months after endgame and Peter Parker/Spider-Man is doing his part to protect New York City and coping with Tony Stark's death. Peter gets a chance to relax when he goes on vacation with his class but that's ruined when Nick Fury shows up. He recruits him for a mission to stop creatures called the Elementals with the help of Quentin Beck/Mysterio. So, they have to stop the Elementals before they destroy everything.
I wish I can say that this is better than the previous one but it's not, actually, it's kind of worse. This movie turns all the tragedies in endgame into a joke. How am I suppose to take the aftermath of the snap seriously if the movie doesn't? Really it seems like the snap has no effect on anyone and it ruins the stakes in Infinity War. Not only that this movie also disrespects Tony Stark Sacrifice, that's no way to treat your golden goose. The movie tried to do different things that it doesn't achieve anything. Really this movie wouldn't exist if the characters weren't stupid and the plot wasn't contrived. What really bugs me about this movie is that this is the second Spider-Man film and Uncle Ben has not been mentioned. Marvel Studios what do you have to say for yourself? The movie has plot holes, for example, the Chaperone doesn't find it suspicious that their trip keeps changing. The movie doesn't flush out these characters.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man is the same character as he was in Homecoming as far as being timid. My gripe with him is he has the same arc in the last film why!?! What's the point of having Spider-Man in the MCU if he's not going to be Spider-Man? Also, I don't buy that he would be devastated by Tony's death because their relationship seems to be one-sided. How can he grieve when he's busy trying to get with Michelle? Since we're on the topic he has no reason to introduce her because he finds her off-putting in the last film, heck she called him a loser so what has changed? Because he's trying to get his mack on he doesn't want to stop the elementals. WOW! Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man my butt.
Ganke I mean Ned Leeds is not as helpful as he was in the previous movie because he's too busy trying to woo his girlfriend. Speaking of that this subplot amount to nothing in the end.
Flash Thompson hasn't redeemed himself as being the bully, you have to do more than calling people names.
Sadly, we learn nothing new about Michelle Jones. (Peter's love interest.) Why give her more screen time if it has no payoff? That's a shame because this movie could have explored her character or lack thereof.
Nick Fury doesn't serve much of a purpose in this movie either. What bugs me about him is that he's off in this movie. You'll see what I mean when you watch it.
Happy Hogan is OK as a supporting character, he helps Peter in the field. My beef with him is he's used to reinforce how attractive Aunt May is for her age. If I was Peter, I would beat the crap out of him for looking at her the wrong way.
Speaking of Aunt May, she might as well not be in the movie because that how useless she is. What's the point of her knowing Peter is Spider-Man if it adds nothing to the story or their relationship?
Quentin Beck/Mysterio is a stand-up guy who helps Peter fight the elementals. I'm also fond of his abilities. What bugs me about him is the twist involving him. To avoid confusion, I'll give you a clue to what it is, he has something in common with the Vulture. Also, his goal should have been difficult to achieve.
Besides a cameo from a Spider-Man character, the only thing I like about this movie is the ending because it can take the next film in an interesting direction. Also, the movie has twists and turns that will take you by surprise. Overall, this is not only strike two for Marvel studios but a bad follow-up to endgame. I'm not crazy about how the MCU is handling Spider-Man so far. I would recommend this if you like the previous film.
Rating = Trash
