If this was re-written to be standalone, it would probably be the strongest Spiderman film. As it is, it struggles to thread itself into the MCU by both having Deus-ex-Ironman turnup, and simultaneously ignore spidey when he needs help, to ramp up tension. It feels overly forced when it doesn't need to. By having Iron Man on "standby" there's little threat. By not having him help, there's little sense.
The film kinda just exists for the sake of pulling Spidey into the MCU. Though, I did feel him just turning up in Civil War worked fine; it didn't need another story to tell us how he became an Avenger.
