Spider-Man returns to Netflix! Tom Holland dons the Spider-Man costume in the second installment of his solo adventures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Far From Home, scheduled for release on the streaming platform on March 15, 2024. An eagerly-awaited return after the events ofAvengers: Endgame, and an adventure that promises to be heavy on the action!
This second installment finds our hero traveling around Europe, in particular Venice and London, but without Nick Fury and Mysterio to help him thwart the plans of a destructive "giant". The film stars Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Samuel L. Jackson, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya and Cobie Smulders.
While spending his summer vacation in Europe with his friends, Peter Parker must don the Spider-Man costume to confront the mysterious creatures causing the many natural disasters that have struck the continent. A battle that the superhero will have to wage in the company of Nick Fury and Mysterio.
Our opinion:
Spider-Man: Far From Home is a highly entertaining, dynamic film full of twists and turns, with a discreet but effective sense of humor that comes in welcome touches, without overpowering the story. Tom Holland definitively embraces the role of Spider-Man with a mature film, and becomes THE new face of the post-Endgame MCU.
As for the acting, it's deeper, thanks also to more extensive dialogue and characters with more depth. Special mention must go to Zendaya, whose character is more polished than in the first installment. The character of Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is also particularly well exploited, especially in the second half of the film, which is in tune with the times and in phase with another character from the first part, namely The Vulture, in terms of technology.
On the other hand, the first part of the film is a little uniform, but sets the scene for the second part of the film. As for the special effects, these are quite polished, offering some visually stunning scenes, whether in wide or tight shots.
A film that gets closer to the comics towards the end, but still surprises us with its ability to break away from this literary heritage and offer something new and refreshing. The post-generic scenes are well worth the detour, so don't miss out!
