Spider-Man is about to swing back on screen.

It's almost summer, and Peter Parker is going on vacation. Spider-Man: Far From Home opens soon, and the embargo on social media reactions lifted Wednesday afternoon. The film doesn't open until next month, but it's already looking good for those who are still in Marvel withdrawal after Avengers: Endgame.
CNET's Sean Keane called the film "pretty much the perfect Avengers: Endgame epilogue — reminding us that the MCU goes on in a joyous, emotionally fulfilling ride."
I saw Spider-Man: Far From Home last night – its pretty much the perfect Avengers: Endgame epilogue – reminding us that the MCU goes on in a joyous, emotionally fulfilling ride. #SpiderManFarFromHome

Brandon Davis, of CNET sister site ComicBook.com, also raved about the film, teasing that it's "huge in itself and for the future of the MCU in the most surprising ways."
#SpiderMan #FarFromHome is an absolute home run. Its SO much fun. Its 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

Davis also urged viewers to stay through the film's closing credits for a couple of "brilliant sequences."
Other critics echoed similar thoughts. Writer Mike Ryan notes that the film explains the post-Endgame universe in a clever way.
Absolutely loved SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME. Im a huge Mysterio fan and Gyllenhaal nails him. Also the movie is very clever (and funny) how it handles the fallout post ENDGAME in explaining how this world works now.

And Kevin Ryan has praise for both Tom Holland as Spider-Man ("best Spidey to date") and co-star Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio. ("Gyllenhaal is incredible.")
FAR FROM HOME has dethroned Sam Raimis Spider-Man 2 & is now favorite Spider-Man film.
Whats insane is that I cant even tell u why Im 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

Singer Zendaya also earned praise for her role as MJ. "Zendaya's MJ is just as cool as Shuri," wrote Brian Truitt, referring, of course, to Black Panther's tech genius sister.
Didnt LOVE #SpiderManFarFromHome as much as Homecoming but its still a rad take on bearing the weight of great expectations and a fun ode to teen romance. Tom Holland continues to be amazing, Zendayas MJ is just as cool as Shuri and Jake Gs an inspired choice for Mysterio. pic.twitter.com/nnu7BPjcFO

A reaction tweet: #SpiderManFarFromHome is wonderful. Its funny and clever and filled with smart twists. (It also made me have incredibly visceral memories of class trips of yore.) I didnt leave the theater sad! I am not worried about superheroes emotional states! Zendaya!!

#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.

Better see if your theater offers some kind of season-ticket plan, because many critics note that this is the kind of film that should be seen more than once.
#FarFromHome non spoiler thoughts: most comic booky movie marvel has put out. Second and third acts are outstanding. The two post credit sequences are going to stick in my brain for a L O N G time. I cannot wait to see this movie atRead More – Source
