Dissecting SpiderManFarFromHome and its twists and turns
: "As is often the case with these movies, a smaller, livelier entertainment is nested inside the roaring, clanking digital machinery.": things start to slip downhill as soon as Peter tries on Tony Stark's techno-sunglasses for size .
Yeah, whatever. Since the spectacle and drama beyond Peter's private life are about as believable as a Nollywood gunfight, MJ yawning at it all while mumbling her suspicions is the film's greatest production value. Watching her lose her cool around Peter is just sweet old-fashioned John Hughes stuff. The Gen-X kids in those movies didn't respect their elders ; the Gen-Z's in this film just don't believe their elders — or anyone peddling authority or truth.
After the screening, I learned that you appreciated this basic "Spider-Man and His Ordinary Friends" aspect of the film's first half. But what went wrong in the second half?, we get a schematic plot that I found to be so joyless and contrived that I could no longer suspend my disbelief. You hit the nail on the head with your John Hughes comparison, a pop culture reference that also speaks to what makes the movie’s first quarter work: Hughes knew how to structure a scene.
I was never as impressed with the nuts-and-bolts craft of what happens once Quentin Beck takes Peter under his wing. Beyond this point, the plot seems to move for the sake of moving. Even the hallucination/dream sequence that Scott singles out — the one where Peter is overwhelmed by a waking nightmare of Spidey-centric guilt and anxiety — doesn’t move me beyond a point.
I do, however, like the chemistry between Zendaya and Tom Holland. The vibe that these two actors share single-handedly rescues the scene where MJ confronts Peter about his secret identity. It’s a sweet and awkward moment and it transcends the scene’s rote nature. I believed those kids and was with them.
