I thought this movie was supposed to be good! Imagine my surprise when not only is it a bad movie, but I was cringing at the dialog, cringing at the frivolous situations and (openly calling out) the blatant predictability of the story. I couldn't even watch this as an unintentional comedy - Spider-Man: Far from Home has very few redeeming qualities. I'd rank this down with the worst of Comic films, perhaps setting a new low.

Spider-Man: Far from Home is another Marvel film that's IMDB rating is too high - this one is slowly coming down (as it should), as this movies merit is bringing in >5 reviews. I admit - this isn't going to be a great analytical review. This is more of an ax to grind against the current low standard of many AAA films, especially those in the comic sub-genre.

To be fair - I dislike every single thing about this movie except a couple of the performers... but their talent is completely wasted with bad writing and uninspired direction. This movie starts out with a disjointed scene, then doubles down on nonsense exposition for about the next 15 minutes - only to get to the point about 20 minutes in... the problem? The point of this movie? Isn't very interesting! And as a movie that relies on effects and action? Neither effects nor action are that special or well thought out once these scenes begin to unfold.

Just as a reminder to anyone who may of forgot - A movie should never be made like a TV show. A film is a unified, singular experience where everybody involved puts in max effort to make the best feature presentation possible. A TV show is a serial experience that generally depends upon content that has come before and then sets up what will come after. Spider-Man: Far from Home is another episodic, TV style project by Marvel. It is ironic that in the golden age of TV, most Marvel movies have gone to a TV style approach - the problem? They are forgetting to hire talented writers! Or the Marvel producers Want their movies to be dumb. Maybe they do! The dialog of Spider-Man: Far from Home is Childish in the worst possible way - it patronizes the audience, assumes they are idiots and offers zero intrigue or challenge.

There are some things done right - even though the effects are not great by today's standard, the movie does have a nice bright look. Action is easy to follow, and by and large the cinematography is pretty good. But when so many conceptual elements suck so badly - the quality technical work just makes the movie less likable. If the production was up to the same standard as the writing, this movie would of cost $50,000 to make. Think about that for a second. Funny thing is? I'd watch that movie, and it probably would be more entertaining to see how a budget this small could be stretched to try and tell this story.

Which might get to the heart of this movie's issues - too much bloat. Overpaid performers, directors, and crew funded by rich producers expecting a payoff by making a redundant film. I'm not surprised, and really no one else should be - but for a person with any sense of quality filmmaking - that says this is a good movie? You need to watch a good movie, then re-watch this garbage and get your head right. Don't be afraid to call out terrible filmmaking just because of fanaticism or some other ulterior reason. Be objective - Please!
