Spider-Man: Far From Home
The middle entry in the MCU’s Spider-Man (as of now) trilogy isn’t a bad or boring movie. Instead, it’s just mostly forgettable. A big part of the problem is that it is so intertwined with the MCU, and especially with Avengers: Endgame, which hit theaters just 13 weeks earlier, that it almost feels like an Avengers epilogue more than a proper standalone Spidey movie. And sure, Jake Gyllenhaal is great as Mysterio, but anybody even slightly familiar with Spider-Man knew he was a baddie the whole time. Making matters worse, revealing that his villainous origin is directly connected to the original Iron Man movie just makes this oddball European side quest feel even less like a proper Spider-Man sequel. — Zack Zwiezen
