Spider-Man: Far From Home
Film | 2019
Released on HBO Max on November 1, 2025
Original title: Spider-Man: Far From Home
Nationality: United States
Combining comedy, adventure, and introspection, Spider-Man: Far From Home coherently continues Peter Parker's evolution in the post-Tony Stark Marvel universe.
Our opinion:
Spider-Man: Far From Home is great entertainment, dynamic, full of twists and turns, and with subtle but effective humor that comes in welcome touches without overwhelming the story. Tom Holland definitively embraces the role of Spider-Man with a mature performance, becoming THE new figure of the post-Endgame MCU.
The acting is more profound, thanks in part to richer dialogue and characters with more depth. Special mention goes to Zendaya and her character, who is more developed than in the first installment. Mysterio, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is also particularly well exploited, especially in the second half of the film, in keeping with the times and in tune with another character from the first installment, namely Vulture, in terms of technology.
On the downside, the first part is a little uniform, but it sets the scene and sets the stage for a second part that is more in tune. The special effects are rather polished, offering visually stunning scenes, whether wide shots or close-ups.
The film leans closer to the comics towards the end, but still surprises us with its ability to break away from its literary heritage and offer something new and refreshing. The post-credits scenes are definitely worth watching, so stay until the very end!
