Sony has released title and date of first post Marvel Spidey movie, coming 7/7/17.
In addition, Holland introduced footage where Parker enters his home to find Aunt May with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.). Stark tells Parker that he has applied for a special grant, and that he has been accepted. This is all news to Parker.
He's reappropriating technology strewn about from battles. The props from the wings look like they were taken directly from the smaller SHIELD hover planes from Winter Soldier.

Trailer looks great. Really enjoyed the new kid as Spidey in Civil War (the Star Wars bit, oh my gosh). He seems to fit the role really well - the right mix of nerdy and snarky. Humor was the main selling point of Spider-man comics for me growing up. I think this one is gonna do great. Hope they stick in lots of great quips!
I obviously haven't seen the movie yet but from the trailers, the parts with "Tony Stark" it looks like Spiderman is just Ironman's sidekick now instead of being his own powerful/cool superhero. I hope that's not the case in the full movie
I thought it was good. I'd probably rank it below Spider-Man 2, which I consider to be the best Spider-Man movie. I think it's a bit above the original Spider-Man, but not by much. I think the one thing that hurt the movie was most evident during the credits: the sheer number of credited screenwriters. To be fair, if the script contains any of your work (i.e. they didn't just throw away the entire thing), then you're credited as a screenwriter. To give you an idea, I think there were around 6-8 names listed during the fancy credits, and I going back and thinking about the movie, you can kind of see that. There were some moments that felt like they happened "because plot" (in other words, ham-fisted simply to further the story).
Also, I think some of the quality of the writing showed with all of those screenwriters. For example, how Flash refers to Peter as "Penis Parker" (yes, that's a thing). When he first did it, I thought, "Well, that's a fairly sophomoric, high school thing, so I guess it fits"; however, that wasn't the only time it happens in the movie... at one point, you get it repeatedly. At that point, my only thought was, "...really?"
So, there are still some elements that make it feel like a Sony movie more so a Marvel movie.
As for end-credit scenes, there are two, and neither of them really further the plot. So, if you want to save yourself some time, you can skip them. I'll detail what they are here:
In the first scene, you see Vulture in prison pass by his buyer from the Ferry scene. The criminal tells him that he blames Spider-Man for his current injuries/disfiguration, and that he wants revenge. He heard a rumor that Vulture knows who Spider-Man is, but Vulture tells him that he's mistaken.
In the second scene, which occurs at the very end, you see a full-screen Captain America video similar to the ones from throughout the movie. In this one, he goes on about the virtues of patience, which essentially mock the viewer for staying so long with absolutely no pay-off. While it sounds condescending when put that way, it was funny.
Oh, and I thought Michael Keaton was pretty good as The Vulture. The writing for him was a bit weak at time... especially given how he went from just being a blue-collared worker to becoming an arms/alien tech dealer. Essentially, he felt beaten down, but the viewer doesn't really get that as they're just introduced to the character.
EDIT:
Hm... after writing all of that, I'm actually debating my ranking. I might place it below the original Spider-Man.
