Spider Man: Far from Home

This is good fun and I like the personality that Tom Holland gives to Peter Parker. This fits well in the MCU and plays with us as viewers like others haven't in terms of sleight of hand plotting. My one critique is the use of the blip as a story device. The blip is introduced to describe the gap people experienced because of Thanos snap. It is shown as a marching band reappearing right where they disappeared from 5 years earlier. But now they are in the middle of a game... Haha. But wait, that means anyone who was in a car is now sitting in the road, an airplane... freefall, giving birth... ??? etc. Seems like at least half of the people who blipped back died a tragic death on return. Kind of a big story hole that bugged at least me.  Otherwise... Great.
4 stars (out of 5)
