It is a good movie, but unless you know any of the other Marvel movies, you'd feel pretty stranded, as it does not follow from the first Spider-Man, but instead from a different movie entirely... The relationships feels weird, like suddenly Happy and Peter are (friends?), and MJ and Peter likes each other? I know there was a time skip, but purely watching these movies standalone as SM movies, they feel rushed often times and like things just "happen" to make more things "happen". This is not at fault of the actors, as Tom Holland and others do an amazing job, but more at fault of the directors building up from a previous movie that was not SM and building for a next movie (be it SM or not)...
As a standalone SM movie, this gets a 5/10, since those who know nothing about the other non-sm movies and series produced would be very confused and not understand everything that is happening and how it happened.
As a movie part of the MCU, it holds up well, and would probably be a 7/10
