Los mismos PROBLEMAS de SIEMPRE en Spider Man Brand New Day

Recap

The reviewer’s verdict on Spider-Man: Brand New Day is that it’s entertaining and often well-directed, but still repeats many of the problems he sees in Tom Holland’s earlier Spider-Man films. He likes the action, visuals, music, and emotional beats, yet argues that the movie’s “new beginning” never fully commits to letting Peter move on.

Peter, MJ, and Ned

The reviewer’s biggest complaint is the return of MJ and Ned. He thinks the film keeps changing its mind: Peter seems to accept that they’ve moved on, then reaches out to them again and slips back into their old dynamic. The reviewer argues that this weakens the sacrifice at the end of No Way Home and keeps Peter stuck in a familiar status quo.

In his view, a more fitting ending would have let Peter accept the loss of his old life and look forward to new friends and relationships. He even jokes that he twice got up to leave during scenes he thought were about to force a Peter-and-MJ reunion, only to return when the situations turned out differently.

Character and story concerns

The reviewer also takes issue with Peter being portrayed as clumsy or foolish, and with his secret identity seeming easy for people to discover. To him, those choices echo the earlier films even though Jon Watts is no longer directing. He argues that the recurring issues come from the broader creative team, not just the former director.

The film gestures toward maturity through themes like depression, anxiety, and addiction, he says, but doesn’t always explore them deeply. For example, Peter’s difficult circumstances are emphasized without much attention to how he manages ordinary life or pays rent.

What works

The reviewer praises the movie’s direction and action, and especially appreciates Aunt May’s emotional return as a moral guide for Peter and Jean Grey. Her role reinforces the film’s central question: Is Peter losing himself behind the Spider-Man mask, or can he be both Peter Parker and a hero?

He also likes Jean Grey’s place in the story, describing her as an antagonist whose goals conflict with Peter’s rather than a straightforward villain. He finds their connection compelling and thinks her introduction feels like the setup for a meaningful character, not just a cameo.

Other reactions and final verdict

Other reactions are more mixed: Hulk’s part feels brief, Scorpion seems underused after being teased, and the post-credits scene leaves open possibilities involving space or another universe. The reviewer compares the movie with earlier Spider-Man films, praising Spider-Man 2 in particular and debating how Tom Holland’s version stacks up against Tobey Maguire’s and Andrew Garfield’s.

After watching the movie again, he sharpens his criticism: the film’s strongest ideas—Peter being alone, suffering, and facing a new chapter—sometimes feel more like fan-service decoration than genuine character development. Still, he doesn’t think the movie is bad. He calls it a good, enjoyable film with notable flaws, rating it around 9 for personal enjoyment and 7 for writing and overall craft.
