So, I saw Spider-Man Far From Home on opening day.
Overall, I really enjoyed the film, working as a follow-up to Endgame, and setting things up for the future, all the while telling its own story.
Spoiler
The movie spends a some time touching upon "the blip", which is what people have taken to calling the snap from Infinity War. Aunt May runs a volunteer organization that helps people affected by the blip, which is funded by Stark Enterprises, and Spider-Man helps out by making public appearances. Feeling pressured by the loss of Tony Stark though, Peter is looking forward to taking a vacation with his class where he can just be a normal kid for a while.
If you've seen the trailers, you already know the vacation gets derailed when Nick Fury enlists Spider-Man's help, teaming him up with Mysterio, to deal with 'elementals'. But this is all a ruse so that Mysterio can get his hands on a piece of tech Tony Stark left to Peter when he died, which he, and several ex-Stark employees were not happy about. Realizing his mistake, Spider-Man has to stop Mysterio from destroying London and killing his classmates.
After saving the day, Spidey's victory is short lived, as JJJ (played once again by JK Simmons) goes public with (faked) footage of Spider-Man ordering the attack on London, and reveals Spider-Man's identity. And it turns out Nick Fury and Agent Hill were Skrulls during the whole film.
