'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Early Critic Reviews Are Amazing

Early Reactions Say 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Is Perfect, Funny & Shocking

4 years ago in MoviesWords By Heather Snowden

The first online reactions to Spider-Man: Far From Home have started rolling in, and if you were worried about how the latest Marvel movie would fare in the shadow of Avengers: Endgame, it looks like your fears were unfounded.

Not only do the early reactions from critics applaud the performances of Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal, who joins the franchise as Mysterio, but they all seem united in stating just how much fun this movie is.

Of course, the narrative picks up in the aftermath of Endgame, but it also apparently provides a great look at the future of the MCU as we enter its next phase. And if the comments about Far From Home's post-credits scene are anything to go by, MCU phase four is going to be quite the trip.

Find the early critics' reactions to Spider-Man: Far From Home below.

It captures the magic

absolutely loved #SpiderManFarFromHome. Captures the spirit of the comics and mixes in some amazing movie magic. The second the film ended I wanted to watch it again. #JakeGyllenhaal is fantastic as Mysterio. pic.twitter.com/4ZYaS0L8mf

Jaw-dropping

Ok friends. #SpiderManFarFromHome is jaw dropping. First half is a lot of fun, coasting on the good vibes of the HOMECOMING cast. But that second half is EXTRAORDINARY, delivering the BEST Spidey action ever. Most SHOCKING ending in a Spider-Man movie ever. Fans will flip out! pic.twitter.com/VcZR3egUWs

Tom Holland & Jake Gyllenhaal are incredible

FAR FROM HOME has dethroned Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 & is now favorite Spider-Man film.

What’s insane is that I can’t even tell u why I’m so in love with this film because it would be a spoiler.

Gyllenhaal is incredible. Holland re-confirms as the best Spidey to date. Amazing. pic.twitter.com/pbynxYIEyQ

Spider-Man embargo up?? Wildest post-credits scenes in a MCU movie in maybe 5 years. And Jake G is the unmitigated GOAT

#SpiderManFarFromHome! What a fun, solid sequel. Tom Holland so incredibly charming, will watch him in any/all things. Jake Gyllenhaal gets way more to do than expected, clearly had a ball doing it. Also still loving Zendaya's MJ.

#SpiderManFarFromHome is a fun ride. Especially the second half, which I definitely can't say anything about. And especially especially the end credit tags, which I definitely definitely can't say anything about.

It shows the post-Endgame impact

#SpiderManFarFromHome is funny, exciting, romantic, goofy & follows HOMECOMING in being this brilliant ground-level look at Spidey's world & how the events of #AvengersEndgame impacted everyday life. Lots of twists & turns, plus some adorable summer romances, too. I'm a big fan pic.twitter.com/NUX0f8YFM0

And offers a glimpse of the new world

#SpiderManFarFromHome is the coda we needed after Endgame, a glimpse of how the world looks now that the dust has settled. Could maybe have gone a bit harder on P's emotional arc, but bursting with warmth and humor and awkward teen romance. 💕 Also: Jake G = perfect casting.

Spider-Man: Far From Home made me smile from start to finish. Its got huge reveals and exciting set pieces but the way it builds off Endgame to to dive deeper into Peter’s emotions is really what make it soar. Mysterio also rules. I can’t wait to see it again. pic.twitter.com/FvP3B53MOX

It's so much fun

#SpiderMan #FarFromHome is an absolute home run. It’s SO much fun. It’s huge in itself and for the future of the MCU in the most surprising ways. Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, just a lethal, awesome combo!!

I cannot wait to see this movie again. And again. pic.twitter.com/0hYJvKkdjN

And better than Homecoming

#SpiderManFarFromHome: far superior to its predecessor & really delightful, w/a terrific theme of trust well-threaded throughout. Could say more, but it's spoiler-laden, full of fun secrets, so be careful who you follow and what they say. Jake G is great #SpiderMan #FarFromHome
