The film has grossed $342 million worldwide and was positively reviewed by the critics and praising the performances of the cast, particularly Holland and Gyllenhaal.

I wasn’t sure that I was going to like this movie especially after Endgame was released (BTW if you haven’t seen ENDGAME there are some serious spoilers in this movie - so do yourself a favor and watch ENDGAME first!!!). I was definitely wrong about that and Marvel consistently shows that they have a plan with their movies along with a high standard of production.

The acting and CGI in this movie were spectacular. The fight scenes in the 2nd half of the movie were spectacular. Tom Holland was already the best live-action Spider-Man and this movie confirmed it.

The humor as always was great. Lots of flashbacks to old movies that fit really well into this movie. I'm always impressed by their ability to weave all the stories together. Marvel also delivered hands down their best post-credit scenes. So funny but also setting up future plot points.

All in all a very entertaining movie and if your a Marvel Fan don’t miss it because the stories continue and you don’t want to left out!
