Spider-Man: Far From Home

I saw Spider-Man: Far From Home last Thursday and it was really good!

Not spoilery - I didn't see Homecoming, but it was fine. I really enjoyed Tom Holland as Spider-Man - believable teenager, endearing, awkward but genuinely trying to be a good person and understandably wanting to still live his life. There's a great vibe between his friend Ned and with MJ. Lots of jokes and I honestly didn't know that what I wanted in my superhero visual fights was acrobatics - but I totally did. Some fight scenes tend to drag on and get uninteresting, but I really liked the change the acrobatics made!

LOVED some of the touches - it opens right with an in memoriam segment, and just as I was thinking "is Marvel unironically using comic sans?!" it turned out to be a student-made presentation and it was hilarious. I did wonder at all the TVs in the hallways for announcements. Did I just go to a poorer school? Am I old? The students are getting announcements from taped segments that are filmed and then shown on big TVs in the halls! We had PA system announcements.
