Spider-Man Far from Home
Jul. 18th, 2019 10:27 pmI needed to cheer myself up and get out of the heat, so I went to the movies, which worked.
I was excited to see trailers for Charlies' Angels and the upcoming Terminator movie. These both look like lesbian bait.
I mostly liked this Spider-Man film, it was fun and a nice escape, and the actors were good. I particularly like that Ned is a fat character of color, and there were no anti-fat statements or "jokes". Zendaya is great as a somewhat cynical MJ, Mae (Marissa Tomei) is wonderful and supportive.
Possible spoilers below the cut. I'm mostly quibbling to think through why this movie felt sort of flat and forgettable, esp. in comparison to the other films in this franchise.
