11-year old film critic Winston Ordoña’s Spider-Man: Far From Home review says the movie gets the important things right while making the material its own.

The latest Spider-Man movie may be far from home, yet it stays close to its comic roots.

Spider-Man: Far From Home takes place eight months after the events of Avengers: Endgame. In the post-snap world, many things are different. Spider-Man/Peter Parker (Tom Holland) wants to have a regular vacation in Europe with his class, but it’s interupted by giant monsters terrorizing their locations.

Spidey has to fight them alongside Mysterio (Jake Gylenhaal), who says he is a warrior from another Earth.

The film is way lighter than Endgame and that’s a relief. Peter’s love interest, MJ (Zendaya), is really funny because she has a dark, morbid, and twisted sense of humor. Best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) is awesome, as he was in the first film (Spider-Man: Homecoming). He thinks being tranquilized by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is the coolest thing that has ever happened to him, and he has a surprising romance in this movie.

Marissa Tomei is fun as Aunt May; she is very protective of Peter and says embarrassing things like calling his Spider-Sense his “Peter Tingle.”

I think this film is even better than Homecoming because the action is better, it’s funnier, the VFX are great, and even the music is more effective. All of this is really different from the comics, but it still works and they do some things that fans of the books will love, like in Mysterio’s mind-bending sequences that are just like stuff that happens in the comics.

Spider-Man: Far From Home has some serious and even shocking things in it (stay for the two tags), but it’s a lot of fun along the way.

PG-13

2 Hours, 9 Minutes
