One more thing. I understand now why the hell these old Blip comic book/magazines started going up in value recently.

The JJJ cameo was probably the most excited Ive been in a movie in years.

I'm glad they aren't trying to reinvent the wheel here, and recasting JK, since he's so good in this role. Just putting a new twist on it which really makes sense for today.

You'd think not existing for five years would take some kind of emotional toll, but I guess it just sucks our your personality and makes you a boring caricature.
Good to know.

The 5 year jump was stupid and now other movies have to deal with it.
With that said, I enjoyed it. Mysterio was dope and his sequences were great. I'm cool with Spidey stepping up in the absence of the avengers.

Question : How did Mysterio cause destruction in Mexico and Venice before he got access to EDITH?

Saw this last night and it was fun. I have zero complaints with Zendaya and the pace of their emerging relationship. They're both awkward teenagers. Hell, Zendaya is a little weirdo, too, as MJ, which works. I think folks may be a bit too nostalgic for the typical redhead white girl to give Z a chance.
I loved how everything was still intertwined to the MCU and Iron Man, with the disgruntled crew. Keep in mind, outside of Misterio, they're still out there. I remember years ago when there was talk of Christopher Nolan doing a Spider-Man film and he would only consider doing it if he could do Misterio. The studio said no and he moved on. What a trip that would have been, I really liked his angle in Far From Home.
I initially wanted to see the film in Dolby Cinema but it was sold out, so we went to the IMAX screening and I did not realize that it had shifting ratios, which was neat. They even gave us a little Spider-Man figurine.

I put this on everything, moments before it happened I was thinking "they really should work the Bugle and JJ into these movies, and bring JK back" seconds before he showed up. When Spidey was swinging they showed the inside of an office, and I thought maybe that was Robbie Robertson, is what got me on that path of thinking.

I found various parts of the plot confusing and nonsensical- Did they ever explain why Peter's spider-sense didn't work (trauma over Tony's death?)? I know it was a convenient plot device so he was easily fooled by Mysterio's illusions, but it would have been nice if they delved a little deeper into it.
The FX were good as usual- the drone fighting scene was great. It seems Marvel really has the CG stuff down now, soon they won't need actors at all.

What really confused me about this (and maybe I'm wrong) was that some characters that returned from "The Blip" were 5yrs older like Brad and Happy (who said his beard aged 5yrs, so I assume he did as well?) and others were not. If not, it was totally inappropriate that a 21yr old would accompany a group of 16yr olds on a class field trip.

Just got back and loved it - a top Marvel film for me. Love Tom Holland in the role and though I knew Mysterio was faking, he was still a fun character through the end. Really liked the MJ stuff (especially the homage to Gwen Stacy falling), Im stoked his identity isnt hidden anymore (which is the dumbest super hero thing to hold on to in 2019) and I cant wait for what they set up.
I was loving it from the stolen Getty Images graphic for the in memorium but. What a great movie.

I noticed we have a cliffhanger ending with no "SPIDER-MAN WILL RETURN" at the end. Sony better make another deal.

The characters (such as Brad) who aged 5 years were not 'Blipped'. They did not disappear with the snap of Thanos's fingers and remained on earth those five years and aged normally. The characters who were bipped (most or all of the returning characters) did not age 5 years, they returned the same age as when they left.

So when did Tony have time to set up the stuff he gave to Peter? Was there a point in Endgame when he knew he was going die(and that Peter wouldn't?) and tell Happy what to do? Maybe he set it up before they went back in time just in case.
Was there a difference between the drones that team Mysterio was using and the drone's deployed by the Stark satellite? They seemed to be the same to me. That was a bit confusing. So after creating Ultron & Co., Tony created an army of killer drones?
I have to mention that I saw Zendaya up close in person many years ago. She was doing an autograph session at a car show in Chicago around the time she had her big Disney Channel show and I took my kids. My son told her a stupid joke.

Agree that Mysterio was cool. Wish he could have been a longer term character.

I liked it. To me, it was a more solid movie, overall, than Homecoming. I think the Homecoming highlights were better, but Far From Home is more consistently good.
I still don't get how NOT having Mary Jane Watson in this universe makes it better (it doesn't), but the new M.J. worked a little better in this one than in Homecoming. The new Flash still sucks, though. He's utterly worthless.
But I enjoyed the movie, and liked how they handled Mysterio. I'd put this one in the middle of the Cinematic Spider-Man pack.
