SPOILER ALERT
I went to watch Spider-Man: Far From Home with my family last Friday and I can say that the movie is just like Spider-Man – amazing. The movie not only lived up to my expectations but it actually exceeded them. And I’m not even offended!
The Plot
The movie takes place after the heartbreaking events of Avengers: Endgame. It continues where Avengers: Endgame left off and Spidey/Peter (played by Tom Holland) continues where Tony left off. With Tony dead, Peter must now take over the responsibilities of Stark Industries and be a part of the mighty Avengers.
However, Peter is not confident enough and is not so sure if he’s capable of carrying on the legend of the great man that Tony Stark was. On the other hand, Peter and his friends are going on a school trip to Europe where he plans to win the heart of his love interest, Michelle ‘MJ’ Jones (played by Zendaya).
Peter hopes everything to go according to plan, but of course, he is met with some hilarious obstacles and a call of duty in the face of Nick Fury (played by Samuel L Jackson).
The Story
Let’s get one thing straight! This is by far the best Spider-Man story I have ever seen. Including Spider-Man: Homecoming, the series seems promising and I can’t wait for the next movie of the franchise.
So, the movie starts with two students from Peter’s high school paying their respects to the fallen Avengers on their school news channel. They end the session by announcing the class trip to Europe.
We then follow Peter as he faces a hard time playing the part of Spider-Man after Tony Stark’s death. He is being asked questions about Tony by the media which is making it even harder for him to move on from the loss. He decides to focus on his class trip and getting the girl that he loves while ignoring calls from Nick Fury himself.
However, things can’t go on that easily in Spidey’s life. He and his class are exploring the beautiful sites of Europe when they are encountered by a giant entity made of water. Peter has a hard time fighting the menace when an unfamiliar face shows up and helps Peter in beating the giant monster.
Nick Fury finally gets a hold of Spider-Man/Peter Parker and tells him about the dangers that the Earth is under. Fury hands Peter ‘Edith,’ the AR glasses that Tony left for Peter (these were the same glasses Tony used to wear and control Stark Industries with). He then introduces Peter Parker to Quentin Beck/Mysterio (played by Jake Gyllenhaal).
Quentin tells Peter about the terrible fate of the Earth from his dimension and introduces the giant thing they fought earlier as an ‘elemental.’ He further tells him that there are four of these elementals and he needs help in fighting them.
I’ll leave the rest for you to see!
The Best Scene Of The Movie
Any guesses? It’s not the beginning scene, it’s not a fight scene, it’s not an emotional scene, and it’s not at all the last scene of the movie. Well, it isn’t necessary that everyone’s opinion has to match, but I think anyone who has seen the movie will disagree when I say that the best scene of the movie is… the post-credit scene! Yes, the post-credit scene won my heart and proved that Peter Parker truly is the next Tony Stark.
My Take On The Movie
Spider-Man: Far From Home is a well-made masterpiece and a much-needed refreshment after the crazy and emotional rides that Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were. The cast did an amazing job of justifying their roles, with even the supporting members doing a fantastic job.
The movie proved that there’s a lot in store for us and MCU is not done with boggling our minds. Spider-Man: Far From Home is a must watch! I’ve already booked my tickets for this weekend to watch the movie again.
