Spider-Man: Far from Home

I usually berate superhero film for being too serious, that doesn't mean I want them to appeal more to tweens. That's exactly what the new Spider-Man films seem to be doing though. Some terrible high school nonsense with a bit of Marvel superhero stuff thrown in for good measure.

At least Far from Home makes the most of its "trip to Europe" plot, even when the depiction of the European setting is full of horrible clichés. The different cities make for a nice change of pace, even when the all the rest remains pretty much the same, bland romance included.

Far from Home's biggest problem is that its villain is quite feeble and childish and never poses a serious threat. The light tone, decent pacing and expensive effect keep it watchable, but it's really not a good film and the high school antics give it an almost sitcom-like vibe. That's not a desired result when you spend so much money on a single film.
