This is the best Spider-Man movie by far. Tom Holland is a phenomenal Peter Parker and a phenomenal Spider-Man.
His school feels fully lived in, with his good buddy Ned, his reimagined bully Flash, strange acquaintance MJ, his romantic interest Liz, the school principal thats related to a Howling Commando, the Captain America PSAs. its all so well put together. I love it all.
RDJ is in yet another movie, and this bothers a lot of people, but I think its awesome. Tony Stark has been established as such a cornerstone of the heroes, his charisma interacting with literally anybody, and the list of failures and character flaws hes piled up that he wouldnt want a protg to repeat makes him perfect for bringing in as the mentor. And its handled very well. Despite his strong influence on the movie, hes actually not in it very much. They just really use him to great effect. It seems like hes not listening or taking Peter seriously, but theres a lot of key moments when he pokes holes in Peters lies with facts that Peter told Happy earlier in the movie that show he really does take Peter seriously. The scene after the ferry where he comes out of the suit (the opposite of earlier in the movie where he sent an empty shell) when Peter thinks hes not really there is fantastic.
The suit Peter uses is kinda cool, but I do kind of dislike the idea of Peter having such a high tech suit so early in his career. But its used to great effect as a plot device to accelerate his capabilities and then have it taken away for the climax.
Ive seen people complain about the scene where Peter is trapped under rubble, and that its aping a similar scene from the comics that had way more stakes, since Aunt May was in mortal danger at the time and Peter had to pull through and power his way out, and those stakes were completely missing in this version. But I think thats really unfair to this version. Its very well set up, as this movie is centered around the idea that Peter REALLY wants to step up into the big leagues as an Avenger, not just be stuck with minor squabbles in the neighborhood. Thats what leads to friction between him and Tony, and gets the suit taken away. Tony wants Peter to recognize where hes at in his career and focus on the things around him and his life, which would be school and learning about his responsibilities, and just take advantage of being a kid still. Peter thinks hes a hero and ready to take on the world. When he gets pinned under all that rubble, and he cant get out, thats when it all starts to fall apart. He panics and screams out for help. Peter becomes just another kid. Its an incredibly humbling moment for him, and changes his perspective entirely. When he calms down and is able to refocus and get himself out, he comes out actually ready to do what he needs to do, and to make the choice he makes with Tony and Pepper at the end of the movie.
The Vulture is obviously fantastic. Hes great at showing the impact Avenger events can have on normal people, and though hes definitely villainous and goes beyond just being a guy looking out for his crew and family, he really does care about the people around him. The scene when he opens the door and meets Peter is phenomenal, and the scene in the car is god tier.
This is a GREAT movie and I love it.

Best Spider-man movie ever. Finally a character that felt like a young funy spider-man for me. The side characters are strong, the villain is done really well. Just a great Spider-man movie that really made up for the failed Garfield reboot.
