For its first hour, Far From Home is a European class trip brochure with a superhero stuck in the luggage. Venice, Prague, a plane seat scheme, two teachers who keep losing students. It’s cute. It’s also tiny stakes for a movie that opens with Peter Parker grieving the biggest loss of his life. Then Jake Gyllenhaal arrives in a fishbowl helmet and the whole thing wakes up. He’s having more fun than anyone on screen, and a later sequence where the world folds up like paper is the most inventive stretch of Spider-Man in the whole Marvel run. Tom Holland and Zendaya are awkward in the best way, two kids who can’t say what they mean and keep trying anyway. Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury mostly shows up to be annoyed, which is fair. A 7.0 because the back half rescues the front half, and the front half really needed rescuing. $607 says you start squinting at every travel video on your feed, wondering if it’s real.
What works: Jake Gyllenhaal is having a blast, and the reality-bending sequence in the back half is the most creative Spider-Man action in the MCU.
What doesn’t: The first hour is a low-stakes school trip that keeps the real story waiting, and the grief over Peter’s mentor gets handled with gadgets instead of feelings.
Who it’s for: Teens who love the Holland and Zendaya chemistry, and anyone who likes a villain who clearly enjoys the job.
Spoilers
Quentin Beck is Mysterio, a fired Stark employee faking the elemental monsters with drones and holograms so he can steal Peter’s EDITH glasses. Peter beats him in London, but a mid-credits scene has J. Jonah Jameson airing Beck’s doctored video that names Peter Parker as Spider-Man.
Peter Parker (Tom Holland) just helped save the universe, and he would like a vacation, please. The plan: a class trip to Europe, a chill week with Ned (Jacob Batalon), and finally telling MJ (Zendaya) how he feels. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) keeps calling anyway. Then giant creatures made of water and fire start showing up across Europe, along with a caped new hero named Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal), and Peter's summer gets hijacked. Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) tries to help. Jon Watts directs. One hundred twenty-nine minutes, one very busy passport.
Anyone on a school trip who just wants one normal week.
