It’s our movie event review of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Of course, we have a blast talking about Spider-Man: Far From Home in both non-spoiler and spoiler filled discussions. In non-spoilers, we tell you what you need to know about the film’s cast & crew, critical & audience receptions, as well as its box office projections and early returns from overseas. Then we chat about our varying expectations after Endgame, what films this one reminds us of from the Pixar Series & previous Spider-Man entries, and our favorite performance amongst the terrific ensemble cast. Then we play the spoiler warning dance music, and we dive into a recap of the plot, where we analyze all of the screenwriting tricks and build up to the film’s crazy finale. Here’s where those Homecoming, Endgame, Scream 4, The Dark Knight, and Lost comparisons come into play. Hopefully, all of those are essential viewing to the point. Yes, this movie brings up major speculation for upcoming Marvel & Sony films, and we discuss both at the end of our spoiler section. Will the Disney Plus streaming service tie into any of this? Can we guess the plotline for the next phase of the MCU? We have to ask, and do feel free to send us your thoughts, as we admittedly don’t know as much as we might think we do. Regardless, it’s a lot of fun to discuss before we close the review with our final grades.
