This is the User Review thread for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Feel free to post your thoughts! If your review contains spoilers, PLEASE TAG!!!!
Haha I get it. Ask away if you feel like it and I’ll answer without spoilers and very generally.So jealous, LOL! I have many questions that I like, want to know...but yet...don't want to know, LOL!

But the more I’m thinking about the film, the more I’m appreciating it.
A VERY quick general reaction/thoughts after seeing it last night.
Mysterio does not disappoint whatsoever. Adapted faithfully and naturally within the MCU. Very very happy about him and can’t wait for rewatches due to his visuals. Seriously GREAT and Gyllenhaal absolutely nails it. The perfect actor to cast.
I really liked FAR FROM HOME...it might have things that work better than HOMECOMING and vice versa. Still internalizing. I think its paced and moves very well with little drag but isn’t the cleanest film. I have a few gripes that I’ll write up later. MAYBE an 8.8 or 9/10. (For reference, HOMECOMING is an 8.5 for me)
HUGE MCU Vulture fan here. Thought they did a tremendous job with expanding and improving upon his comic origins and fitting it to the MCU. Also, loved his motivation in the film.How about this:
Vulture or Mysterio? Where would you rank him with other Spider-Man film villains?

Mysterio is the same in the sense that they got him SO right (you will see). Comparing to Vulture, I think here they didn’t necessarily expand or improve per se, upon his character from the comics, they more so just faithfully adapted him USING the MCU.
I think Vulture had a stronger motivation than Mysterio which works better for a film, but Mysterio had the better adaptation.
That being said, I’m a Mysterio fan in GENERAL, more than I am a Vulture fan. So I enjoy MCU Mysterio more than I did Vulture. OR they’re the same. Can’t quite decide yet BUT Mysterio has much more to offer than Vulture on a scale level. With visuals, action, performance, etc, which makes him more fun to watch.
Before FFH, SPIDER-MAN villain rankings for me was—
1. Vulture
2. Green Goblin
3. Doc Ock
Now it’s—
1. Mysterio
2. Vulture
3. Green Goblin
(I’m not super crazy about Doc Ock like everyone else is..)
Yes, for sure! Love Mysterio. Also love Slott’s Mysterioso arc with Martin on art. I can promise he won’t disappoint. Everything you want from him in a film, they deliver.Good to see another Mysterio fan give praise to him! That makes me excited. I was hoping he would equal or surpass Vulture. Mysterio is my favorite Spider-Man villain (always has been), so I've been maintaining high hopes with him here.
I really liked it. Liz felt like an appropriate, young crush. This feels very much so like a deeper, innocent, and charming teen romance.How did you feel about Zendaya and MJ/Peter?
Glad you loved it.Haha I get it. Ask away if you feel like it and I’ll answer without spoilers and very generally.

You should be excited! You'll all see what I'm talking about. It usually takes a couple of more viewings to cement my final thoughts and feelings so I'm looking forward to that.I'm so incredibly excited now to see Mysterio on screen, I'm also a huge fan of the character. Glad you enjoyed the film and it's a good sign when an 8.8-9/10 starts growing on you even more. @Nicko-Ray
Put it this way...when it started..."happening" I was in complete awe muttering "oh my god" to myself like 3x lol. Like, holy crap, they're really going there and pulling it off.Yup, big Mysterio fan here as well. Over the moon to hear he doesn’t disappoint.
Haha. Can't wait to read your thoughts, man. Please post 'em here! You got good taste. Also can't wait to just finally discuss with you all..We used to be friends...then you saw the movie before me...!!!
Kidding. Glad you enjoyed it! It'll be Tuesday or Wednesday for me.
