This is easily the best of the post Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, which has had like three different iterations if you count the animated "Into the Spiderverse" nonsense.
Parker and his classmates are on a summer school trip to Europe to see cool shit and maybe get laid. Trouble erupts and Nick Fury enlists Spidey to help. A plot twist Helen Keller could have seen coming ensues, and then stuff needs a fixin'. But it works because it's light and fun, which is sorely needed after the Avengers opus.
Sony did the last movie, "Homecoming", in cooperation with Marvel and Disney to get Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This movie feels more like something Marvel/Disney did themselves, then handed over to Sony for distribution. It's that much better.
