New to home theaters: Spiderman makes his way into homes this week

Tom Holland made his way into living rooms this week with the release of “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” to rental outlets.
In the third installment of the “Spiderman: Homecoming” series, Peter Parker (Tom Holland, “The Impossible” and “Avengers: Infinity War”) decides to join his best friends Ned (Jacob Batalon, “Every Day” and “Avengers: End Game”) , MJ (Zendaya, “The Greatest Showman” and “Zapped”) and the rest of the gang on a European vacation.
However, his plan to leave super heroics behind for a few weeks are quickly scrapped when he begrudgingly agrees to help Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson, “Pulp Fiction” and “Jackie Brown”) uncover the mystery of several elemental creature attacks, creating havoc across the continent.
Holland said in a Fandango interview that the hard part with this third Spider-Man film is that it’s the first movie he’s made without Robert Downey Jr., whose character Iron Man died in “Avengers: Endgame.”
“It was a bit daunting, but that’s why it was nice to have Jake Gylenhall come in and play Mysterious in this film, because he kind of fills the shoes of Peter’s mentor and he does it really nicely,” he said.
Directed by Jon Watts, the film is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments.
The movie is rated very highly by both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience rating of 95 percent and a critics rating on the Tomatometer of 90 percent.
“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 Marvel Cinematic Universe,” said the website’s critics consensus.
