Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home (Spoiler Free) and Midsommar

Slinging in to theaters is the 11th appearance of a Spider-Man on film in the last 17 years (and yet he keeps getting younger…) in “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and Ari Aster’s horror suspense thriller “Midsommar.”

Spidey is back and post Endgame consequences. This time he’s traversing through Europe with his classmates and an acTOR-y Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio. Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jacob Batalon, Samuel L. Jackson, Marisa Tomei, Cobie Smulders, Jon Favreau, JB Smoove, and Martin Starr star.

​Meanwhile Ari Aster continues his reign of horror (though I’d call this more just suspense) with “Midsommar” – his follow up to “Hereditary.” If you’re a fan of “The Wicker Man” you’ll probably like this film. Florence Pugh, Will Poulter, William Jackson Harper, Jack Reynor, and Vilhelm Blomgren star.
