Plot
In 2024, after the defeat of Thanos, Peter Parker's relaxing European vacation takes an unexpected turn when Nick Fury shows up in his hotel room to recruit him for a mission. The world is in danger as four massive elemental creatures -- each representing Earth, air, water and fire -- emerge from a hole torn in the universe. Parker soon finds himself donning the Spider-Man suit to help Fury and fellow superhero Mysterio stop the evil entities from wreaking havoc across the continent.

Why It Can Be The Next Iron Man

 * 1) The movie explores Peter Parker's classic struggle of balancing his superhero life with his daily life, as both constantly interfere with each other.
 * 2) *His grief over Tony Stark's death is also reminiscent of Uncle Ben's death in other adaptations, which is also really emotional.
 * 3) *Compared to Spider-Man 2's portrayal of Peter's life struggles, it is less mean spirited toward him, and feels more realistic.
 * 4) Mysterio is an awesome villain, faithfully portraying the character's roots as a fraud who uses illusions to trick people into thinking he's the good guy while adding new twists to fit the character into the MCU.
 * 5) *The way Quentin Beck's illusions are portrayed is impressive.
 * 6) *Several minor characters from previous films return as antagonists working for Mysterio.
 * 7) Mysterio also works as a message about how the masses can be manipulated by media so easily in modern times.
 * 8) Zendaya's character "MJ" is given a much larger role as Peter Parker's new love interest.
 * 9) *Flash can be considered an improvement due to being more of your stereotypical bully into also being a Spider-Man geek, which is realistic if superheroes happen to exist.
 * 10) Great acting from Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jake Gyllenhall, Samuel L Jackson and Jon Faverau.
 * 11) Very good pacing, in which it doesn't try too fast or slow, just perfectly balanced.
 * 12) Funny scenes, such as Peter breaking the seat belt in Nick Fury's car while the latter is staring at him like Peter has two heads.
 * 13) J. Jonah Jameson makes his debut in the MCU, with J.K. Simmons reprising his legendary role after 12 years since Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.
 * 14) Entertaining and visually awesome action scenes that are a step up from Homecoming.
 * 15) The soundtrack is a step up from the predecessor.
 * 16) As a reference to the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, Fury appears as a sort of mentor for Peter.
 * 17) Tom Holland is still excellent as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and gets major character development.
 * 18) They also did a Marvel Zombies easter egg.
 * 19) Even though they're just illusions, the Elementals are very threatening side villains. Not to mention they have pretty badass designs.
 * 20) Badass dialogues, like "Now this is an Avengers level threat." and "NO! FIRE ALL THE DRONES, NOW!"
 * 21) Talos the Skrull makes an unexpected appearance as the Nick Fury impersonator.
 * 22) *Subtle hints throughout the film foreshadow that Nick Fury was actually a Skrull.
 * 23) A very shocking mid-credits scene that leads to many possibilities for the third movie.
 * 24) *It is also a callback to how Mysterio often tricks the public into thinking Spider-Man went rogue.
 * 25) The film brilliantly marks both the end of an era for the MCU, and the beginning of a new one in the high note.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The use of the "twist villain" cliché of is very predictable, since Mysterio is a well-known villain in the Spider-Man comics, even to viewers who are not familiar with the character (while viewers with knowledge of the history of comics can already expect Mysterio to be revealed to be evil). The reveal scene was poorly executed as well and felt like filler.
 * 2) Brad Davis is an annoying side character.
 * 3) Peter's iconic Spider-Senses ability was renamed to “Peter-Tingle”, which is rather crude for a Spider-Man film. Not to mention it can disappoint many Spider-Man fans.
 * 4) Plot hole: Spider-Man/Peter is somehow able to regain control over E.D.I.T.H. during the climax even though Quentin never granted him access like necessary.
 * 5) *This lead to many people to believe the entire incident was all staged by Mysterio and that he survived the incident, and he did it to out Spider-Man and frame him more easily.
 * 6) *However, it is plausible that since Tony Stark wanted E.D.I.T.H. to be Peter's, and only Peter's, control doesn't have to be transferred to him.
 * 7) Most of the characters shrug off being disintegrated by Thanos and then revived five years later as just some minor inconvenience. The worst complaint that anyone has about the situation is that Peter and most of his classmates have to repeat their whole senior year, and Aunt May had to find a new apartment.
 * 8) As shocking the mid-credits scene is, some feel that this should have been the film's final scene rather than its mid-credits one, because the scene takes place after the whole movie ends. Furthermore, though most Marvel fans perfectly know that they should stay for the credits to see the mid and post-credits scenes, some viewers, especially the older ones, don't like to wait or unaware about this kind of scenes and just leave the theater once the movie ends. And while most mid-credits scenes just tease an element from a further film, but you can still go to see such further film and understand it, the mid-credits scene potentially reveals the next film's premise. Thus, any viewer who left this movie after it ended will not understand why Spider-Man is branded as a fugitive in the next sequel.
 * 9) *Though on the other hand, adding it as the final scene can make it a cliffhanger.
 * 10) The "take off your clothes" scene is poorly written and disturbing, as it's a grown woman telling an underage Peter Parker to take off his clothes in front of her. It's only there to be "funny from being random and edgy", which is a terrible writing tactic.

Trivia

 * This was the first Marvel movie that did not feature a Stan Lee cameo premiered after his death in November 2018. According to Jon Watts, filming was completed before Lee's death, but his health had deteriorated so he wasn't good enough to film a cameo.
 * Bruce Campbell had made multiple cameo appearances in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films, it was eventually confirmed that Campbell was portraying Quentin Beck and was planned to become Mysterio in Spider-Man 4 prior to the movie's cancellation, as a result Mysterio did not make a live action appearance until Far From Home.
 * Jake Gyllenhaal was originally considered to replace Tobey Maguire during pre-production of Spider-Man 2, over uncertainties that the latter would return following an injury he sustained on the set of Seabiscuit. However, Maguire recovered in time and was able to reprise his role.
 * Coincidentally, Maguire as Spider-Man and Gyllenhaal as Mysterio share the same Latin-American Spanish dub voice actor, Luis Daniel Ramírez.
 * Even more so, Mysterio shares the same Italian and Tamil dub voice actors (Stefano Crescentini and Karthik Kannan respectively) as Peter B. Parker from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Maguire was also initially considered to voice him in the original English version.
 * People are speculating that Mysterio might still be alive, as evidenced by the mid-credits scene.
 * While promoting Avengers: Endgame at a fan event in Shanghai, Feige said Far From Home would be the final film of the MCU's Phase Three, rather than the start of Phase Four as some had believed.
 * Ahead of the film's home media release, in September 2019, Sony released a "Night Monkey" trailer, featuring footage from the film of Spider-Man in his jokey alter-ego of the same name. Lussier said the trailer was clever, and "in terms of repurposing old footage in fun, funny new ways, you have to give Sony a tip of the cap for this." Later in the month, Sony created a real version of the fictional TheDailyBugle.net website as part of a viral marketing campaign to promote the home media release of the film. Inspired by real-world "conspiracy-pushing" websites such as that of Alex Jones, the website features Simmons reprising his role as Jameson in a video where he speaks out against Spider-Man and in support of Mysterio, before adding "Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe!"
 * This film is the highest grossing Spider-Man film to date, surpassing Spider-Man 3 after 12 years.
 * Depending on who you ask, this could be not the first time Mysterio appears in a live action movie, as there are speculations and fan theories that Mysterio appears in the Sam Raimi trilogy portrayed by Bruce Campbell who has three different cameos in the Sam Raimi trilogy.
