There is a reason Spider-Man: Far From Home keeps coming up in conversation. Spider-Man: Far From Home uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Peter Parker and his friends go on a summer trip to Europe. However, they will hardly be able to rest - Peter will have to agree to help Nick Fury uncover the mystery of creatures that cause natural disasters and destruction throughout the continent. Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It hit screens in 2019. The rules of Spider-Man: Far From Home's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Spider-Man: Far From Home a chance. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Tom Holland grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
