"It's easy to fool people when they're already fooling themselves." - Mysterio

Why watch this? Tom Holland's second Spider-Man fits him just fine.

Plot Summary: Set after the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Peter Parker goes on a school trip to Europe hoping to have a normal vacation and express his feelings for MJ. His plans are interrupted when Nick Fury recruits him to team up with the mysterious Mysterio to combat several destructive Elemental creatures causing chaos across the continent. While fighting these inter-dimensional threats, Parker grapples with the expectations placed upon him to become the next Iron Man.

Dad's Preview: I instantly loved this new version of Spidey. Tom Holland adds a youthful spark to the web-slinger, and he seems like a real high-school student, insecurities and all. This effects-laden extravaganza is best when it's not blowing stuff up, however the action scenes admittedly are pretty bad-ass. It's deep when Parker struggles to get over Tony Stark's death. Plus, as a teenager, he's love-struck, and that gets nice mileage throughout the film.
