A good movie

I already saw this movie but since I just bought an awesome brand new TV, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, unfortunately, even if it was still entertaining, it wasn't an improvement on the previous installment, I'm afraid. I mean, Tom Holland remains the best Spider-Man so far, he delivered once again a really solid performance and I really loved the vulnerability they brought to the character who, in spite of its great super powers, is just an averageย  teenager who wants to simply hang out with his friends during the summer break. I also loved the idea of sending him and his class to a school trip in Europe. However, to be honest, the rest of the movie wasn't really strong though. First of all, sure, some of the avengers died or disappeared but, as we have all seen in 'Endgame', there are maybe 50 other super-heroes out there and it didn't make much sense that Nick Fury would ask the help of the youngest and least experienced one for such a seemingly dangerous mission. Then, the whole plot around Mysterio was actually rather lame and it was rather disappointing that a fine actor like Jake Gyllenhaal would end up playing such a generic and rather boring villain. Furthermore, it was pretty obvious right from the start that there was something rather fishy about the guy and even though it was understandable that Peter Parker would fall for his act, it didn't make sense at all that Nick Fury would put so much faith in him. Eventually, Fury's bewildering lack of judgement was actually explained with a post-credit scene (that Marvel keeps using this gimmick to deliver some major plot points has also become such a nuisance) but this explanation was actually pretty lame after all. Anyway, to conclude, after rewatching this flick, I think I was actually rather generous with my rating here and I hope the next time around they will come up with something more substantial for their most iconic character.
