We finally got to see this on Saturday and it's a true delight...the most fun from Marvel since Thor: Ragnarok. The score works really well in the film...and while the theme isn't my favorite, it gets enough usage that at least I could remember it as we left the theater.

The wall to wall coverage of the film, and especially the bro-love between Holland and Jake, well, ugh. I really do not need to know, nor do I want to know how much these people love each other. And again, faulting the obviously, sub-90's visual effects, I mean, those water visual effects are like something ILM guys were putting out 10 years before The Abyss in 1989. This is such sub-par work for a film this expensive they should be ashamed of themselves, but the reason they get away with it is that the audience is so visually incompetent these days.
I agree that Giacchino at his best is quite good, but a lot of his work falls into busy-chirpy-plunky orchestra workman like stuff, and it feels like he is covering over the lack of composition or themes with the sheer busy-ness of the players.

I liked it a lot. I haven't gotten into the score so much yet.
I've seen people comparing it to Thor: Ragnarok and Guardians in tone (which Homecoming had as well, but dialed back a bit). But I know in my family at least that's our least favorite Thor and we didn't like Far From Home as much as Homecoming.
So I wonder if we're just outliers or if there will be a course correction?
Homecoming and Doctor Strange are two of my favorite Marvel scores.

The CGI of Spider-Man and Mysterio were very poor. Some of the element effects, explosions and trippy visuals were pretty cool. At least interesting from an artistic perspective if not totally believable.
I've found both films underwhelming. I really wanted to like them, but they just miss the mark. The story for Far From Home is particularly bad.
Agree with your analysis of the score.

Fun movie, I enjoyed it a lot more than I did Homecoming. I am digging the score a whole lot, too. I ha no issues with the FX. Good light fun after the emotional wreckage of Endgame, which gutted me.
A winner all around.

I heard someone humming the theme walking out of the theater. Because it has A THEME.
