"News Flash: Tom Holland is the best movie Spider-Man ever." - Rolling Stone

For many, that wasn't even a debate to be head, given how good he was in Civil War. This movie, though, seems to put the arguments to rest: while you can give varying amounts of credit to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, Holland IS Spider-Man.

Digital Spy also call him the "best Spidey yet", adding "his Peter is an endearing, believable teenager whose enthusiasm is impossible to resist." That's echoed by Collider, who say that Holland "makes the role his own", and /Film say he's "an outstanding, wise-cracking Spider-Man" while comparing his Peter to Marty McFly.
