Child-related lack of choice, presumably.
It's not, IMO, very good. I've had to watch a fair few Marvel-related films in recent years, and the Spiderman ones feel very much like the b-sides to Avengers Endgame/Black Panther/Captain Marvel. Except for Into the Spiderverse, which is amazing.
By not having seen the previous ones, you miss out by not instantly knowing who the various characters are, but I don't think it will make a huge difference.
Fair enough if it's a family thing.
Am a long term fan of Spiderman comics and films, especially multiverse stuff, so it's critic proof, imho.
My nephew and niece really liked it, so that's good enough

I would have gone to see Titane myself but the 7 year old with us would have found it confusing and upsetting.

Anyway, I saw it and it was alright.
Marvel films make more sense when seen on the big screen.
It was very funny, unexpectedly.
The action bits were predictably boring but the character stuff was interesting.
Also tied in nicely with the Spiderverse film.
Shit villain though. Not enough exposition explaining his/their motivations.
The alien technology aspect of these films is well shit, and I doubt I’ll ever grasp the fine details of that storyline, even from reading Wikipedia.
PS is there no Marvel Spider-Man film that explains his origins? If it starts with Homecoming, then I guess not!

The Tom Holland Spider-Man makes his first appearance in Captain America Civil War. They address it but kept his origin story to a minimum because there already had been two different Spider-Man franchises in the 21st century, where the first film was devoted to the origin story. The MCU didn't want to do an origin story in its entirety for a 3rd time and the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire version of Spider-Man sort of gets rolled into the MCU films with this film, by using Alfred Molina from Spider-Man 2. In Civil War Peter Parker had just started being Spider-Man and Iron Man helps him along to really become Spider-Man.

Aye, I get that, but assumed they’d want to do their own version of the origin story just for neatness and completion’s sake. I ffed the bit of Civil War where he makes an appearance but it wasn’t particularly enlightening. I don’t actually know the origin story well so it would have been welcome from this viewer

Garfield seems too tall
I find Garfield pretty meh as an actor tbh (though I haven't seen his Spider man admittedly).
