Fans have especially welcomed the return of Tom Holland as Peter Parker, with many deeming it his best performance in the role so far.
Tom Holland’s Performance Is the Star
The major talking point in early reviews is Tom Holland’s mature and emotionally rich take on Peter Parker.

Action, humour and emotion strike the right balance
Early viewers think filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton has managed to balance exhilarating action sequences with heartfelt narrative. The film’s darker tone, well-executed visual effects and character-driven story have been praised by fans who say it seems like a welcome return to Spider-Man’s local hero roots, rather than another large-scale multiverse adventure.
