“A bouncy addition to a bulging franchise, with just enough fringe zaniness to help it stand out from the pack,” David Sims of The Atlantic wrote.
“It would be easy for the sequel to feel like a letdown after the epic Avengers: Endgame, but Spider-Man: Far From Home is constantly funny, surprising and thrilling,” Ian Sandwell of Digital Spy reported.
“A spectacularly fun solo story that validates Holland’s Peter Parker as the greatest Spider-Man ever. What a time it is to be a Spider-Man fan,” Rendy Jones of Rendy Reviews added.
