Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

Director: Jon Watts. Cast: Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Samuel L. Jackson, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Cobie Smulders. 129 min. Rated PG-13. Action/Sci-fi.

Marvel movies keep trying something new, and every once in a while, they hit the jackpot. Mysterio, the Master of Illusions, is not only a cool Spider-Man adversary, his concept of creating illusions to control the masses rings so close to the idea of fake news, and being suspicious of what you see. We're in Nolan territory here - juxtaposing superhero stories onto the political climate of the day. To round it up, the movie even hands youngsters a guiding light on how to defeat illusions: literally diving deep into their core, and pulling out the truth. Well done, all around.
