Caught it on opening day and yeah my opinion pretty much gels with that of the majority. The European backdrop was a nice change of pace for a Spiderman film, the characters were fun, Mysterio was awesome and the effects were some of the most breathtaking in the whole MCU and yeah the mid credits scene made my jaw drop to the floor. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}I had a thought: with Matt Gargan being introduced in the Homecoming mid credits sequence and Jameson making his return to the Spider-Man films in the Far from Home mid credits sequence, perhaps part three will have the Scorpion appear similar to how he was introduced in the comics with JJJ bankrolling a new warrior to take out Spider- Man. {Spoiler}{spoiler}It's Mac Gargan, not Matt, but yeah, otherwise agreed, that'd be a fantastic way to get it done. You also have potential for a reappearance by Vulture, given his interaction with Mac in Homecoming.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Also even though the chances of it happening are practically zero, this Spider-Man public enemy # 1 story line would be a good way to bring the Defenders into the MCU fold: for example you could have the Punisher going after Spidey or Matt Murdoc defending Peter in court and then helping him out as Daredevil. Again most likely won't happen, but a guy can dream can he?

I can only hope that they stick with that scene during the credits and don't have it immediately correct itself in the sequel. Build on it by taking it into a more serious direction.

Here's my YouTube review of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Overall I absolutely found it fantastic and believe that Jake's performance as Beck/Mysterio stole the show. Being able to experience Mysterio in all of his glory on the big screen was a fanboy dream come true. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Dare I say one of the coolest moments of the film is Peter using his spider-sense during the final fight and even afterwards. {Spoiler}{Spoiler} The first scene during the credits better stick as it opens up extensive possibilities. As for the second scene {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Does that imply that Secret Invasion might be the next Phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? {Spoiler} You mean the Peter tingle?

Plus there's story arcs as well as been done in the Animated Series where he's helped him as a lawyer. Would be a big surprise

So the scenes that were cut from the trailer (IE: The Gangster fight and Peter preparing for his trip) are going to be re-cut into its own short film on the blu-ray.
Warning The video does contain some spoilers:

Anyone with the PS4 game, they've added a couple of suits from the movie in as free DLC. It actually is now possible to play the entire game just using the MCU suits. Start out with the Star Suit, then when the Advanced suit is introduced, switch to the Iron Spider suit, then when the last suit is introduced for the final mission, you use the Upgraded suit.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I think one of the most interesting things about this movie that hasn't gotten a lot of ink as a theme is dealing in both the idea of what Tony's legacy is as a hero and what his legacy is as an entrepeneur and businessman. We see how the world reacts, in small ways, and how Peter reacts, in large ways, to Tony's sacrifice as a hero. But we also see the flipside of Tony's legacy with his own employees, ie the fact that Mysterio is a former employee of Stark's and his whole team is all former disgruntled ex-employees of Stark Industries. Despite the fact that Beck is obviously unhinged, it's also interesting to see that there's a lot of people Tony has burned in the past, including a neat callback to the scientist who got cussed out by Stane in the first movie (and who will more than likely become the second Mysterio, as he ends up taking the data of Beck's BARF tech when their plan is revealed.) If fact, it's interesting to consider that almost every nemesis of Stark in the Iron Man movies turns out to be ghosts of his or his Dad's past. Even dead, Stark legacy may has just as many enemies and axes to grind as it does admirers.

From what I've read over the years, Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onfrio have both said they'd love to appear in the MCU as Daredevil and Kingpin, while Krysten Ritter has said she's done with Jessica Jones. Jon Bernthal's a great Frank Castle if they want to bring him back/he wants back in, but I could go for a recast of Mike Cotter (he looks perfect but is a lousy actor). Iron Fist...I don't care about at all.

Iron Fist...I don't care about at all. The last I heard Bernthal is very much in favour of continuing as Frank. In all honesty, I don't think Jessica, Luke, or Danny really fit anywhere in the larger scheme of the movies, so there's no real need to bring them back any time soon. Kingpin works super well as an antagonist for both Peter and Miles, so as long as Marvel and Sony have a deal that door is always open, and where Fisk goes, Murdock isn't far behind. {Spoiler}And since JK Simmons has now portrayed two unconnected versions of J. Jonah Jameson in the movies there's nothing stopping them from using D'Onofrio and Cox as more PG-13 versions of Kingpin and Daredevil.

Based off their good chemistry they had together in S2 of Luke Cage, they need to do a Heroes for Hire movie or miniseries.

*Sees if the villain dies.* *Checks spoilers* Hard pass. {Spoiler}Eh, too be fair he's a master of deception despite what happens in the film. They could easily find a work around that entire concept. The scene during the mid-credits opens up endless possibilities if they stick with it. Although if it makes you feel any better Peter doesn't kill him.

Fantastic film. This and Homecoming are EASILY the two best live action Spider-Man movies. I don't know which I'd hold in higher esteem. If I was ranking every Spider-Man movie it would look like this
1. Into The Spider-Verse 2. Homecoming/Far FromHome 3. Homecoming/Far FromHome 4. Spider-Man 2 5. Spider-Man 6. The Amazing Spider-Man 7. Venom 8. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 9. Spider-Man 3
