Spider-Man: Far From Home swung into theaters ahead of the July 4 holiday, ready to snatch up tons of cash and extend the MCU following the events of Infinity War and Endgame. Critics are liking what they see in this second solo(ish) outing for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker; the movie is Certified Fresh at 92% on the Tomatometer right now, with reviews throwing praise at Holland, Zendaya, and MCU newcomer Jake Gyllenhaal, as well as the movie’s twisty plot and its abundance of big laughs. But is it the best Spider-Man movie we’ve seen? That’s a hard call with Spider-Man 2 still lingering in people’s memories, and last year’s Into the Spider-Verse raising the bar of what’s possible in animation. This week our RT Aftershow panel – host Mark Ellis, Geek Bomb’s Maude Garett, and critics Scott Mantz and Joelle Monique – weighs in on that question, along with what they thought of Mysterio, the movie’s many surprises, and where the MCU could be headed next. Watch about and let us know what you thought of Spider-Man: Far From Home in the comments. (Careful: The video contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home.)
