Absolutely!
Now let me try to tell you why with as little spoilers as possible...
After the events of Avengers: Endgame I think there were a lot of "but what about..." questions by the audience, and Spider-Man: Far From Home attempts to answer as many of them as it can while staying true to a pretty fun, Spidey-goes-on-vacation style story.
The action scenes are a lot of fun, and the big players; Spider-Man, Mysterio, Nick Fury, and Maria Hill are all pretty great, but for my money this fill really shines with it's use of the supporting staff and focusing on Peter's normal life and attempting to balance it out with his superhero responsibilities.
For me, the standouts of the film are Peter (Tom Holland) and MJ (Zendaya), Ned (Jacob Batalon) and Betty (Angourie Rice), and a lot of great work from Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) and Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). Although the action is really great, the way Spider-Man has always worked best in balancing the focus between the fight scenes and real world stories.
In the end, the film was funny, more emotional than I had expected, and has me looking forward to more in the future.
