Great movie. Good fun. Mysterio has always been one of my favs.

Now that I’ve seen it I’m allowing spoilers. 7/10
I’m a little disappointed they offed Mysterious. Limits the possibility of sinister 6.

Spoilers allowed! Yes!!!
Loved the movie! I agree with Mysterious gone it limits the sinister six. Potential he’s in a comma? Dunno. However, the tech is alive. The team That was behind mysterio are alive. I see him possibly returning.
Sinister six will be inevitable! We have Chameleon, Vulture, Scorpion, Shocker, Mysterio (sorta) and, who knows...if the merger will integrate him into the MCU mix, Venom. I think it just takes one movie to tie things together.
MJ was great. Real good chemistry there and I thought her character and acting were spot on. I was into their little romance.
Super cool seeing superheroes outside of the USA. Glad marvel recognizes there’s more places to go than NYC.
The comedy was just great. Good writing and just the right amount. Nothing cringe worthy or too obvious.
Is it me or is marrissa tomei getting hotter? Man, she’s beautiful.
The legacy thing from stark to peter was dynamite. I love Happys talk about how tony was flawed but believed in Peter. So great.
The way they handled the blip was so great. I’m happy they show it as a positive event. That footage from in the school was really heavy. Wouldn’t want to have been in a plane when I blipped out and reappear falling to my death five years later. Kinda messed up.
The suits...oh man! So good seeing such a variety!
Special effects were top notch. By far my favourite scene was when spider was trapped in the illusion at the abandoned building. Just an outstanding scene.
And finally, that post credit scene of JJJ...just amazing. So glad he’s back. He was perfect in the Raimi films.
My not so happy criticisms:
- sometimes the audio didn’t match the acting. You could tell there were voice overs post production. It was distracting.
- mysterios death by ricochet was weak. I loved the set up. I love that Peter grabbed the gun. Just would have liked to see Beck go to prison with another post credit scene of him meeting the gang.
- when Peter was using the stark tech in the jet to design his suit, he was flipping around holograms and it just looked a little silly.
- the costume for Mysterio was perfect. I didn’t care much for the wardrobe lady getting it ready thing. I did like some of the flashbacks to others who were helping him but for some reason that wardrobe part seemed silly.

Really?? I could have sworn there were multiple Spidey films that hit 1 billion. Eh, that's good. I can't wait for the blu ray.

Now in order for the MCU to get a third Spider-man Far From Home needed to gross 1bil. Kind of a crazy marker for Sony to stipulate seeing as they could never do it, but I guess that might be why they did it.
Now that Far From Home is going to cross that barrier we get one more Spider-man film in the MCU under the current contract, after that it'll need to be renewed.
I think Sony will renew the contract though seeing as taking Spider-man from the MCU now would probably be considered Media suicide. The backlash would be intense to say the least.

I have to say...I enjoyed the movie, but this is the first comic movie I've seen lately that I was a little bored during (I think Captain Marvel was the other one).
I guess I'm just not the biggest Spidey fan. He's a great character, and his powers are well-represented, but he lacks the emotional conflicts that a Batman/Hulk/Iron Man/Wolverine have for me.
Oh yeah, this Spidey and Mary Jane have ZERO chemistry. That kiss at the end was actually hard to watch.
