Tom Holland returns as the high school version of the superhero, complete with the awkward charms that make him so appealing. This time, he travels with classmates to Europe, but the emergence of new creatures attacking various cities adds danger. There’s also a new character, Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) and the romantic subplot to add sweetness. The fight scenes often feature action that’s too cluttered to follow, but still full of dazzling effects. It’s not as good as the last one (my review), but still friendly, enjoyable and well-paced. NOTE: Stay thru the credits for 2 scenes…both containing shockers!
