Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Set around nine months after the conclusion of events in Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home deals some what with the after effects of happenings in that movie, though I think still underplays them. Peter Parker and friends go on a summer school trip to Europe, they encounter a mysterious threat at several location set pieces, Jake Gyllenhaal shows up, Jon Favreau's beard is discussed, and if Marvel can't get the rights back to Spider-Man they have just written themselves into a tremendous plot hole. A pleasant enough breather of a film it's success is in stepping back a little and doing something meant to be more fun the harrowing. ***
