It doesn't feel like Tom Holland is Spider-man. He's a kid with Iron Man tech. He's Iron Boy Jr.
This movie made sure Tom Holland wore the Spider-man mask as little as possible throughout the movie, It's like he had some kind of clause in his contract ensuring that his face gets way more screen time than the Spider-man mask, so that's why he's constantly taking off his mask even when inappropriate, like when he's in full view of the public, who can see him with his mask off (but for some reason, no one around him cares). I don't think Tom Holland as Spider-man even climbed up a wall like a spider once in the entire movie.
The characters, from the villains to the high school kids and teachers to Spider-man's allies, are largely hard to believe as real people.
I mean, for instance, a new superhero, Mysterio, shows up, and no one even raises a question or starts a discussion about what his powers are or how he got his powers or anything like that. They just accept him like he's a new guy with unexplained powers, cool.
The high school kids and teachers feel like comedy caricatures written by comedy writers, but they're not believable as real people at all. Everything they say or do is to aid some comedy gag, not to make us believe them as people.
As for the plot, it's predictable. You can see where Mysterio's story is going from a mile away.
But it's not all bad. There are good parts here. MJ, the weird sarcastic girl, was the most likeable character. And there's a trippy CGI-heavy sequence where reality gets warped and confusing. That was very creative and visually impressive.
