Erin from Brampton
I loved Homecoming, but I was disappointed with Far From Home. As a huge fan of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, I thought the bar was set pretty high for this sequel.
First of all, I hated how they treated the supporting cast. Everybody outside of Peter, Mysterio, and Happy to small degree, was there for comedic purposes. MJ, Aunt May, and Ned did nothing to contribute to Peter’s growth. In most other Spider-Man movies, shows, or comics, his friends and family play a huge part in his growth. I always felt that Spider-Man had the most well known supporting cast in superhero lore, yet you wouldn’t think so after watching this movie.
Second of all, I wish Peter stuck to the original suit Stark gave him. One of the big critiques out of Homecoming was Spider-Man relying too much on Stark tech. Well, there Peter was, relying on a big Stark machine to create his suit.
Lastly, I hope they find a clever way to get the spotlight off Peter and the world knowing he’s Spider-Man. I know they’re grooming this reincarnation to be the next Ironman, but he shouldn’t be exactly like him. It works that the world knows that Tony Stark is Ironman, because he’s rich and famous without the suit. While Spider-Man himself is famous, he’s essentially an average joe. I don’t feel there’s much of an appeal behind people knowing who’s behind the mask.
Great job on all the reviews guys! I enjoyed every single one
