Watched: Spider-Man: Brand New Day 🎥 Properly rated at ~71% positive. It’s a fun movie. Definitely better than the second Spider-Man, probably better than the third, not as good as the first. Only 2.5 hours, but it felt way longer. There’s a bunch of plot movement to get through. Holland and Zendaya still have great chemistry. They pulled in a few minor characters from three of our favorite long-running dramas: Michael Mando from Better Call Saul, Liza Colón-Zayas from The Bear, Tramell Tillman from Severance. Jon Bernthal is surprisingly likable as The Punisher, which I don’t even know how to feel about. Is Marvel back? Possibly! Spider-Man is definitely the best world they have going. But the supporting cast of shows and characters appearing in the upcoming films may make the post-Endgame dip feel mildly redeemed if they can land Doomsday. They’re pulling in the X-Men universe too, ever so gradually. But not blowing it — yet.
