As one of the few super blockbusters this summer, "Spider-Man: Far From Home" has won the anticipation of many fans since before its release. I also watched this film for the first time on the night of the Japanese film premiere on June 28. As for the IMAX version, why I waited until today to start writing my afterthoughts, on the one hand, it was because I was really busy some time ago, and my mood reached the lowest point since this year, so I really didn’t want to write anything. Now that I have done almost all the tasks in the previous paragraph, although my emotions don’t seem to have eased much, I finally have time to write something, let’s talk about my favorite superhero.
Let me first mention that the key of this film has been extended. If you haven’t watched it yet, you can go to the theater to watch the film in time. Since this film has a special IMAX format, I still recommend you to choose the IMAX version to watch the film, it will be better. experience and more screen information. I won’t talk about this movie today. I won’t talk about the film based on its advantages and disadvantages. I will directly talk about my feelings after watching it. I will try my best to talk less about the content of the plot, but there will definitely be serious spoilers. Please consider as appropriate. watch.
Spoiler alert! ! !
Post-Iron Man Era
Whether in or out of the play, the film reveals a feeling of "where are we going in the post-Iron Man era". In the film, there is Iron Man's "existence" everywhere, whether it's the graffiti on the wall, people's hopes, Happy's narration, and the virtual fantasy created by the secret guest, there are fake Iron Man images to Spider-Man. The torture, and even the "villain team" of this film are all subordinates who were once "abandoned" by Iron Man. The biggest conflict in the film is actually that Iron Man wants Spider-Man to be his successor, but Spider-Man is still a child, he doesn't want or thinks he doesn't deserve such a big responsibility. In my opinion, this is a very good grasp. After all, Iron Man's sacrifice in "Avengers 4" symbolizes the end of an era. As the end of the fourth phase of the Marvel movie, this film is naturally a link between the previous and the next. role, and in the next stage, who can take on the role of the previous Iron Man in Marvel movies? Of course, or just Spider-Man.
The specific reason is actually very simple. First of all, as one of the most popular characters in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, the producers have not been careless in shaping his image in recent years; The first appearance, until he appeared in every film after that, is very closely related to Iron Man. The two are actually a kind of "father-son" relationship, and even in "Avengers 4", can make The most important reason why he chose to save the world again is Spider-Man. If you think about it this way, who is more suitable to take over Iron Man than him? The same is true outside of the play. This film can be felt from the first trailer released last year. Marvel is hoping to make Spider-Man the leader of the next Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But although I think this is a very good grasp, but what cannot be ignored is that the presence of Iron Man in this film is really too strong~~~ In some passages, it even overshadows Spider-Man a bit. Before the start of the third act, Happy was watching Spider-Man playing with high technology on the plane. The child in front of him was just like Tony at that time, and his feelings were sublimated at this moment. Happy's affectionate eyes still make me Impressed, "taking over the baton" may really start from this moment.
Mysterio
After the first trailer of this film was released, a friend of mine asked me who Mysterio was and why there was magic in the trailer. I told him about the setting of Mysterio in the comics, and affirmed to him that these so-called magic It must be the special effects made by Mysterio. I think that although there are a lot of magical changes in Marvel movies, the magical changes like "Iron Man 3" should not appear again in a short time.
Sure enough, in the middle of the film, the first major reversal took place. Mysterio was a liar, and he and his team used to work for Tony. Frankly speaking, although I basically predicted that Mysterio would be a lie, it still caught my eye when the movie got here. The shaping of the villain can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Although the big star Jake Gyllenhaal was invited to play Mysterio, the shaping of the villain is indeed an old problem of Marvel movies. In general, In my opinion, the villain of this film belongs to the "upper-middle" level in Marvel movies. The actors perform well, and the characters are quite full as a whole, but many details can't help but scrutinize. But to mention, the film does a good job of Mysterio's "trick", some small points are very imaginative, but some points are also unbearable to scrutinize.
Youth campus
From the beginning of "Return of Heroes", Marvel has given us a signal that Spider-Man's personal film will definitely combine the theme of youth campus, this film is naturally not surprising, first of all, congratulations to Peter and MJ for finally making it.
Many people have disliked the youth film elements in the film since "Return of Heroes", and even more so in this film, most of them think that the existence of these youth campus elements reflects the complete narrative rhythm of a superhero film, and its existence does not Not much meaning. First of all, I don't think what they said is wrong, but as far as I am concerned, I am more interested in the youth elements in the film. I think the director himself knows these things very well, so he can put so many little things in a superhero movie that we don't see in youth-themed movies. Besides, Spider-Man is a child who is still underage, and the image of Spider-Man in this version of Dutch brother is to a large extent close to the comics. Isn't the image of such a lively child Spider-Man similar to the style of youth films? Does it fit well? Take a step back and say, if you take the youth film elements in "The Return of the Hero" and add some bridges and stories from traditional superhero movies, do you think it can better reflect the growth of this child's superhero? I find it difficult. Moreover, the youth film elements and the story of the film itself can be said to be connected very well, and I still prefer it.
spiderman
I've said more than once that Spider-Man is my favorite American superhero character. When it comes to Spider-Man movies, I think the best one is Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy. My favorite Spider-Man character is Garfield's "The Amazing Spider-Man". When it came to the Dutch version of Spider-Man, although I was in tears when I appeared in "Captain 3", although I was even more excited when I heard the "spiderman (Theme Song)" in the opening variation of "Homecoming" I called it out. Although the image of this Spider-Man is very close to the comics in some aspects, I don’t know if it’s a preconceived idea or what. I have always been at the level of “kinda like” this version of Spider-Man, or in other words, I prefer the character of Spider-Man. As I mentioned earlier, Marvel has not been careless about the creation of the image of Spider-Man in recent years, but until I finished watching this film, I still felt the same as before.
Will Spider-Man be the next Iron Man-like figure to carry the banner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? We can't be sure about this, and as a fan, I hope to see more good Spider-Man movies in the future. The completion of this film is really good, but in the next film, without the existence of the image of Iron Man, what kind of story will the movie "Spider-Man" tell, and what kind of transformation will the image of Spider-Man will be? It seems to be more worthy of our expectation! And the Easter eggs in this film are really good enough.
Closing sentence: In the first Easter egg of the film, in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, JK Simmons, who plays the Daily Bugle boss Jonah Jameson, is again in this Easter egg After taking this role, I believe the old audience will exclaim when they see it, and even feel like they have passed away. This little easter egg can be said to be one of the most exciting points in the whole film. Thinking about it this way, maybe one day, we can see the three Spider-Man appear in a movie? Let's arrange the parallel universe quickly.
