I disagree. I really like the first two Sam Raimi movies but it's mainly for things other than Peter Parker (such as the villains, the musical score, the story and the action.) If I take off my nostalgia goggles I find Tobey's Peter Parker to be the whiniest of them all and I prefer Andrew and Tom in the role.
With Tom Holland and the MCU films he really does look and act like a shy, awkward teenager. He's trying to impress Tony Stark and prove himself but it's not really until the end of Far From Home that I think he truly realises how powerful he actually is (when he finally masters his Spider-Sense)
Tom's on-screen chemistry with the rest of the cast is great in these movies and I find it keeps the movies very entertaining in between the action scenes. I don't see him as a 'spoiled man child' I see a flawed teenager trying to live up to being a superhero and making mistakes along the way. A lot of superheroes in the MCU are flawed and make mistakes, such as Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange and Scarlett Witch and for me it makes the characters more human and relatable despite their extraordinary powers.
Lastly all of the Spider-Man movies have relied on CGI and it's a personal preference but I'd actually rather the CGI than seeing a stunt-man on a wire, the latter just doesn't look very convincing to me, at least not in displaying Spider-Man's superhuman agility and reflexes. Without CGI all of these movies would just look like the made for television live action films from 1970s and whilst they're impressive for the time they certainly don't hold up today. Sorry you don't enjoy these MCU Spider-Man movies but for me they're on par with the first two Raimi films and I think No Way Home looks awesome.
