First Spider-Man: Far From Home's reviews are in and the future of the MCU is in safe hands

Overwhelmingly positive

20 June 2019

Spider-Man: Far From Home isn’t actually in cinemas until July 2, and we’re a while from official reviews landing. However, people who went to early screenings have been permitted to put their thoughts on social media, and as a result Twitter is awash with people lining up to praise Peter Parker’s latest outing.

Okay, so it’s not a full review, but the nice thing about 280-character reviews is that you can read a lot of them.


So without further ado, here’s the critics’ (truncated) thoughts on the new Spider-Man movie. And yeah, it’s overwhelmingly positive.

Special praise seemed to be reserved for Jake Gyllenhaal, who takes on the role of Mysterio. There are plenty of tweets about him having lots of fun with the casting…



Oh, and apparently it’s a film you’ll want to see at least twice, and probably three times.



And for goodness’ sake, stay until the end of the credits!



In fact, it’s actually pretty hard to find anyone criticising the film. Still, we did our best to be spoilsports, readers, and did some digging. This goes out to the Spidey haters out there:



...but as you can see, even then it’s hardly damning. Suffice it to say that fans of Peter Parker have plenty to look forward to when it appears in cinemas on July 2. Enough to be added to our list of the best Marvel movies? You wouldn’t bet against it.
