The review embargo for
Spider-Man: Far From Home lifted yesterday, and it looks like yet another critical and commercial hit for Marvel Studios (well, Sony Pictures, but Kevin Feige and company were the ones in charge of the sequel creatively). Now, there's more good news for the
Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel as it's officially been "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes.
115 reviews have been counted and the movie currently has a score of 90%.
The Critics Consensus, meanwhile, describes
Spider-Man: Far From Home as
"A breezily unpredictable blend of teen romance and superhero action, Spider-Man: Far from Home stylishly sets the stage for the next era of the MCU." There probably aren't that many reviews left to be counted, so that score is unlikely to change and will more than likely remain in the 90s for now.
In related news, Jake Gyllenhaal has shared a funny video in which he reveals what he did following the recent world premiere of
Spider-Man: Far From Home.
It's clearly not easy being Mysterio, eh?
Spider-Man: Far From Home has already opened in China and is expected to perform well in North America all next week, too. In fact, many analysts believe that this will be the first
Spider-Man movie to gross $1 billion at the worldwide box office and if that is indeed the case, we can definitely expect Sony's relationship with Marvel Studios to continue for the foreseeable future.
