I thought he was good. As a Spidey flick, I enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man more than Homecoming I’ll say...with exception of that suit they used in The Amazing Spider-Man ?

He was the best.

Intelligent, actually knowing about science and engineering.

Funny and cracked quips.

Isn't an Iron Man fanboy

Had actual chemistry with Gwen.

People rip on him cause he was a skateboarder, but he was legit the best live action Spidey so far. Imo.

He was a cool dude and had great chemistry with his love interest, was pretty intelligent and was his own man.

I do think however he was a really cool guy so why was he treated like a loser in school by some people? Not exactly vulnerable.

His performance was consistently solid, and he had some scenes where he was flat out incredible, such as his reaction to Gwen's death. He also played the best Spider-Man, particularly during the opening moments of TASM2.

His Peter Parker left a lot to be desired, but that wasn't his fault.

Great Spiderman. He got everything right from the physicality to the overall demeanour of the character as the masked hero. His physical stance as Spiderman and the overall action choreography as Spiderman was awesome too (although he probably didn't do it by himself)

But when it comes to playing Peter Parker, I think he was a tad too cool. You didn't see in him the vulnerabilities that Peter Parker as a character has in the comics. They made him much more stylish and trendy than comicbook Peter. I think Toby Maguire's Peter Parker was the best in this regard. He absolutely sold it as the alter ego of the titular Superhero.

An amalgam of Maguire's Peter Parker and Garfield's Spiderman would be the pitch perfect version of Spiderman IMO. I think they've made the same mistake in Tom Holland's version of Peter Parker. While he gets the Spiderman part of the character very well, I think he acts way too cool as Peter Parker. You can't see the vulnerabilities and awkwardness in Tom Holland's version of Peter Parker.

Great Spider-Man, but I always found his rendition of Peter Parker too cool to be the social outcast that Peter was

It was decent, but not funny enough. Maguire and Holland are both far better.

He was good with what was given to him.

I love the quips and what not (I like Holland’s better though lol) but all I remember from Garfield was him crying a lot and being too cool. And he would look like he was a model and pose. That ain’t Peter to me.

He was a good Spider-Man. He could've been a better Peter.

Best Spider-Man.

Worst Peter, although not bad by any means.

He’s good. But is the most overrated. Yes, I said it. Anyone acting like he was just this overwhelming force is overrating him. There’s this group that seems convinced he was just the best thing ever and the TASM series was the best etc. He had the potential to be the best but he wasn’t. Regardless of the endless hate Tom Holland will undoubtably receive he is a far better Peter and Spider-Man. Don’t care if he relied on Tony, he’s 15. It makes sense he would need a mentor.

He was a pretty good spidy but his initial motivation for becoming Spider-Man was very different from what comic Spider-Man did after that. His peter Parker seemed to cool to be Peter he wasn’t even bullied by Flash Thompson heck I think peter stood up to him for another kid though that part might be what comic Peter might actually do.
