For you folks that watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I thought Fury was in “Tahiti.” 😉

When Peter was packing, they lingered on the initials on the suitcase, which were “BFP.”

Per Wikipedia, his full name is Benjamin Franklin Parker.

That’s one of the huge paradoxes of Endgame. If Cap changed his timeline all those things that happened shouldn’t have if he still existed in ours. The cap with the new life should have existed in a different timeline.

Since Beck said he was from a different “Earth (833)” in the Multi-verse, they didn’t question his “counterpart’s” dealings here on our Earth (616).

Spider-Man: Far From Home (PG-13) - The perfect follow-up to Avengers: Endgame - a spectacular superhero adventure with plenty of action, comedy, a bit of romance, and a few secrets that will just make you go “Wow!”

Between Sony and Disney/Marvel, it seems that the Spider-Man franchise is just hitting on all cylinders the past few years. Tom Holland was introduced into the MCU as the friendly neighborhood webslinger back in “Captain America: Civil War” with Tony Stark as his mentor, the follow-up “Homecoming” was just a fun teen comedy with super heroics blended into the mix, and Holland’s appearance in the past two Avengers movies made for both heart-touching and poignant plot points in those films. This past Christmas, Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse” hit screens with such originality, creativity and fun, that it earned the Oscar for best animated feature (and is currently playing on Netflix if you haven’t seen it yet.). And now, we have the summer treat that is “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”

After the momentous and somber events of “Avengers: Endgame”, those who have returned after The Blip (known in our world as The Snap) are still trying to restore normalcy to their lives, and come to grips with changes and loses. This includes Peter who, along with the rest of the world, is still mourning the deaths of Tony Stark, Natashia Romanov and Steve Rogers (an interesting detail not addressed in this movie). For Peter, losing his mentor has hit himespecially hard, but he has still thrown himself into being the local hero in his city, with the enthusiastic support of his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). Also providing support and Stark resources is Happy Hogan (John Favereau), who alerts Peter that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) has been attempting to contact him.

Peter wants nothing to do with it until he’s spent some hard-earned time on a European school vacation with his friends Ned (Jacob Batalon), MJ (Zendaya), Betty (Angourie Rice), Flash (Tony Revolori) and others. Unfortunately for Peter, circumstances force him into fighting a giant water entity, and we learn Fury and Marie Hill (Cobie Smulders) has been working with Quinton Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal), who says he’s a soldier from another dimension whose own version of Earth was destroyed by these giant elemental creatures. Beck has a special suit that allows him to fight the entities, and Peter begins to look at Beck as a potential mentor, and possible replacement for Iron Man.

Following a fight with another elemental creature in Prague, Peter, along with MJ, makes a startling discovery that puts himself and his friends in additional danger, and makes Peter realize that he really needs to step up and be the Avenger that Tony Stark has prepared him to be.

“Spider-Man: Far From Home” is exactly what we needed after “Endgame”. When Spider-Man and Mysterio aren’t duking it out with giant creatures of water and fire, the movie is bouncy, bright, fun and high spirited. It may also be the funniest MCU movie so far. There is romance in the air for many of the characters. The effects are absolutely top notch, and the twist half-way through is actually pretty neat and makes very good comic book sense given Beck’s comic book origins. Also, this is not the only twist, but you MUST stay through the final credits to get a full sense of the direction Peter and the MCU may be going at this point. I cannot emphasize this enough.

I absolutely loved “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and give it 4.5 out of 5 lightsabers. So far I can honestly say, this summer has been pretty terrific, movie-wise, but “Spider-Man” is going to be hard to top.

NOTES TO PARENTS: (Some mild spoilers) Spider-Man: Far From Home is rated PG-13 for comic book and sci-fi action, a lot of destruction, some language and brief innuendo. Language is fairly mild for a PG-13 movie, I only heard a couple of “s**”, hell, maybe a d**n or two, Flash calls Peter a “d**kwad”, and there is an unfinished “motherf-” in the mid-credit scene. At one point when Peter claims he doesn’t have enough experience being a hero, Fury tells him, “B***h, you’ve been to space.” May refers to Peter’s spidey sense as his “Peter Tingle”, and this is repeated a couple of times later in the movie. Peter is shown taking off his pants to change his costume a couple of times while there are female characters present. Brad, a new character, takes an unfortunate picture one of those times. Nothing other than underwear is “briefly” shown. There is kissing between some of the teen characters. Giant creatures made of earth, wind, water and fire wreak havoc and cause destruction. Peter gets injured a few times while fighting these creatures and eventually, their source.

MID- AND AFTER-CREDIT SCENES: A mid-credit scene informs us of how drastically Peter’s life is about to change, and features a fun and welcome cameo; the after-credit scene gives us a startling and intriguing hint at the possible direction the next MCU phase may be headed.
