Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter Parker he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

Rating: A
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY had every excuse to become a bloated victory lap for the MCU’s biggest names, and instead it turns out to be the most emotionally mature, personal Peter Parker story we’ve gotten yet — one that treats its sprawling cast as tools in service of a single, aching question about isolation, identity, and what it costs to keep pretending you don’t need anyone. Tom Holland has never been better, Sadie Sin…
The name "Brand New Day" is very much a misnomer, there is nothing new in this film, you've seen it all before.
The film REALLY drags, is boring and I zoned out multiple times, the film didn't hold my attention at all. It feels like its twice the length of its runtime it goes on, and on, and on, and on.
I think that Spiderman worked better when it was separate from the MCU shared universe goofiness, there is some really cringy MCU stuff shoehorned in.
Not a bad film, its a perfectly competent routine superhero film, the heroes are introduced, the villain is introduced, then the superh…
I enjoyed this, but I have a few glaring issues.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
1. How many times are we gonna do this !@#$ where folks don't say what the !@#$ their problem is? We spent half of the movie with Jean terrorizing Peter simply because he got in her way. At no point does she think to reason with him and say, "DEM MOFOS HAVE MY MOFO-ING SISTER, YOU MOFO-ING ARSEHOLE!" Really? Really? We "SSAAVVVEEE MMAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTHHHHAAAAA"-ing this up again?
2. Damage Control has been out of control since WandaVision and Ms. Marvel. How the flying !@#$ are they still operating without oversight? Further…
When I watch a movie, I expect to be entertained, enlightened and/or informed (not necessarily in that order or all at once). But what I *don’t* want is to be treated like a marketing prospect. And that, unfortunately, is one of the problems with many of the releases in the Marvel Universe, including this latest installment in the Spider-Man franchise. Given the studio’s intricate web of properties (no pun intended) in this overlapping assortment of superhero franchises, there are considerable character and storyline cross-overs in virtually all of its film projects. Now, because of that, some…
Haven't seen a Marvel Movie in a long time, haven't really wanted to either. Last one I saw was Spider-Man... which I think is the case with a lot of people. Tom Holland is carrying what is left of a once great franchise now in it's death throws, lost in an attempt to court the nonexistent "modern audience." But that's what happens when you sacrifice your fanbase on the altar of the woke gods, you end up making movies no one wants to see by trashing the franchises everyone loved.
And now Tom Holland is left carrying the weight of it.
So, what was the movie like? Well, it was badly …
Well made and all around fun and entertaining entry in the Spider-Man franchise features fine performances all around and nice twist (thankfully I avoided spoilers). It's not amongst the best in the comic book genre or anything (though still ranks in my top 15 in that category), but I had a good time. Tom Holland is still perfect in the role and I liked his scenes with Zendaya. **4.25/5**
SPOILERS AHEAD: I loved the movie, I’m not going to lie. It feels different, daring, and genuinely confident in its own identity. Jon Watts should be taking notes.
That said, I do feel that Hulk/Banner deserved a much larger role. The character had the potential to contribute a great deal to the story, but they never fully took advantage of him.
The Bad Bunny reference made me laugh, and honestly, it also made me happy. Whether you like him or not, he is a Latino artist and represents us. It even reminded me somewhat of the cultural energy and pride embodied by Miles Morales.
What did…
Even with its minor flaws, *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* is the best Tom Holland Spider-Man film to date and easily the most exciting the MCU has been in years. Spectacular performances, sensational action choreography, an amazingly mesmerizing story, and some of the most astonishing web-slinging sequences of any Spider-Man film to date help solidify *Brand New Day* as one of the best Spider-Man films ever.

"Peter Parker" (Tom Holland) is pining. After having to sacrifice everyone's memory of him to save the world in the last film, he now has to swing from building to building in his red and blue kevlar stopping crimes whilst the biggest of all - his loss of "MJ" (Zendaya) remains unsolvable. The poor fella is lonely and so is putting all his efforts into his work to the extent that his police pal "DeWolff" (Liza Colón-Zayes) is starting to worry about his wellbeing. Well it isn't long before he is too - his spidey-senses are all over the shop. What's occurring? Well a chat with the sauna-dwellin…
Not an absolute disaster, but 6.5/10 at best. It falls well short of the previous trilogy, and it baffles me how it’s breaking records and pulling top reviews. It felt like a tired, bloated movie riding purely on hype and pent-up demand for a Tom Holland outing.
My biggest issue was the core supporting cast. The emotional weight of No Way Home relied on Peter's sacrifice so they could live safe lives. Bringing them back when they don't even remember him felt like a total cop-out. They served zero narrative purpose and were clearly included out of obligation. Reverting on that sacrifice und…
Easily the worst Tom Holland Spiderman movie. The plot is unambitious and leaves so many plot points hanging it feels like barely anything was resolved, and they were scrambling to create a third act where Spiderman has to fight anything.
Why would they introduce Jean and then not resolve her plot line… At all? She starts the movie on the run, looks for her sister, realizes she’s dead, then goes back to being on the run. It didn’t really feel like we accomplished anything. It didn't feel like she had any character arc because we still don't know anything about her, other than she's mad at t…
