As with all superhero movies, the themes focus on power and responsibility, leadership, courage, confidence, perseverance, and rising up to face your destiny.

And some of the video game-like battle scenes are literally dizzying. Expect a bit more action violence than in Homecoming, even accounting for eventual twists and turns that reveal that not everything (including the violence) is what it seems. Starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, the tween-friendly sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming - which takes place on a high school trip to Europe - deals with the aftermath of the Big Snap and other major losses, but it's also fun and comical.

Parents need to know that Spider-Man: Far from Home is the first post- Avengers: Endgamemovie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe it works as both an epilogue to that saga and as a bridge to future films.
