I like this movie as much as Spider-Man 2.
In my opinion, the film is very respectful not only of the continuity of the 7 previous movies but also their spirit.
In the movie, Doc Ock, the Goblin, Electro carry more weight than the Lizard & Sandman.
There are a lot of fan-pleasing moments (in-jokes, Easter eggs, meta-references...).
My speculation in the previous message below proved to be false. There is no 6th villain. However, most of the other theories on internet proved to be right! 
The movie is darker & grimmer than the 2 previous ones and closer to the tone of the other 5 movies. Yes, the time has come for tragedy.
Venom only appeared in a mid-credits scene.

I really enjoyed it!
It did however occur to me that this was basically an experiment to see what would happen if a movie was constructed entirely of fan service. In this case, the answer was that it was great!
This is what CW tried to do on a smaller budget with Crisis on Infinite Earths but it just did not work. And apparently what they're doing in the next Flash movie.
I thought the most obvious omission though, if the spell brought back everyone who knew Peter was Spider-Man, even if they were dead, the final villain should have been Mysterio. I mean he was the architect of this whole plot anyway.
Good thing it didn't bring back Thanos.
