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.

Check out my full review @ movieswetextedabout.com/spider-man-brand-new-day-movie-review-destin-daniel-cretton-delivers-peter-parkers-most-personal-story-yet 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 Sink announces herself as a genuine star, and Destin Daniel Cretton proves that even inside Marvel’s most crowded corner, a story can still belong entirely to one person. With some of the best Spidey action I’ve ever witnessed, a standout Michael Giacchino score, and terrific performances a…
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 superhero wins, same plot as every superhero film. I was hoping for something Brand New - it did not deliver.
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? Furthermore, how the !@#$ is Metzger still on the loose? It's like Kingpin at the end of Daredevil Season 2: a whole bunch of philosophical bull!@#$, and no justice. No justice for Sara, no justice for Jean, no justice for Metzger's crimes. 3. I don't accept "small potatoes" excuses. Were the events of Da…
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 cross-pollination of the narratives is bound to occur. But, when this practice becomes a key element in developing the plots of these offerings, it begins to feel more like marketing manipulation than bona fide storytelling, as is the case here. I don’t particularly appreciate using existing …
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 in need of an editor. This is one of those movies where the directors cut should make it shorter not longer. The pacing sort of sucked, there were cameos in it that didn't need to be in it. The side story of Spidey leveling up didn't need to be in it. The police captain didn't need to be in it. …
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 didn’t I like? For starters: where the hell is J. Jonah Jameson? The movie is packed with news broadcasts discussing Spider-Man and everything happening across New York. We saw Jameson at the end of *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, and here he simply vanished. Nothing. Not even a mention. Completely e…
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. https://bit.ly/SpiderCant
