Movie Review Spiderman Far From Home

Jack has been talking about Spiderman Far From Home for months, so we promised him we'd get out to see it within the first week of it opening at the box office.  Fun fact, my super twins share a birthday with Peter Parker and they're super stoked about it.

Note: There are spoilers in this review for Avengers Infinity War & Avengers End Game (but not the Spiderman Movie)

What's in it for the Kids?
Same old neighbourhood Spiderman, but this time in Europe.  This movie has stuck with Jack and he has continued to talk about for it for days since we watched it.  It's fun, fast, friendly, and mostly kid friendly (cause it's Spiderman).

Are There End Credits Easter Eggs?
Yes, two.  You'll want to sit through two sets of end credits to see what's next for Spiderman and the rest of the Marvel Universe.

What's in it for the Adults?
Fast fun dialogue, along with Samuel L. Jackson and other Avengers/ Agents of Shield Cameos.   As an adult I appreciated (SPOILER ALERT) the way Spiderman copes with imposter syndrome and his new role as a hero following the death of Iron Man in Avengers End Game.

Best Parts of the Movie
Good live action and it deals with some pretty great themes.  The kids were really entertained by the theme of a romantic rivalry between Peter Parker and another character to get MJs attention.  I really liked the detail explaining some of the questions left unanswered in a post Thanos world.

Worst Parts of the Movie
A solid movie, but some stuff that got predictable.  I was able to predict a few things before they happened, but the kids did not.

Are My Kids too Young to watch this Movie?
Parents who care about romantic themes or swearing, should note there is some of that, but in a very PG way.  There was one particularly scary scene involving a nightmare like sequence that could spook some kids. There are some scarier monsters in some of the fight sequences. Both Molly and Jack say you should be a brave six or seven year old before you're old enough to watch.

Overall Rating
The kids loved the movie and it got them invested/ excited about what's coming next in the Marvel Universe.  Molly and Jack both rated this movie a 5/5, whereas Chris and I saw it more as a 3.5/5.  A fun summer superhero movie to watch with the whole family.

See the movie? What did you think?
