〰️ uneven — Peaks and dips, no clear shape. Warm most of the way through. In the last stretch it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 2 that landed as a blow, 2 that gave people chills, 4 that got a real laugh.

“Overall really great scene. Might be one of the best in the movie.”

“he's practically the second/third lead from Act 2 onwards. I loved how they portrayed his relationship with Peter. He might be annoyed by him, but he still gets to occassionally help him. And deep down he cares for him, especially when he accidentally shoots him. He doesn't get angry or excuses his actions, he simply takes him to the hospital, stays with him and apologizes for everything.”

“I teared up when Peter was walking through the cheering crowd at the end and his reaction to seeing that kid. Ugh just perfect and perfectly encapsulates what Spiderman is all about.”

“Plus adored the credits montage of New York City.”

“just the credits for the film. Not the end of it but the actual credits themselves. The shots of NYC and people just doing normal people shit was super cool and very refreshing”

“this felt like a lot like the Thunderbolts third act, but it just resonated with me much more”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“If “No Way Home” had the gee-whiz thrills of an original “Star Wars,” then “Brand New Day” has the mature melancholy of an “The Empire Strikes Back,” a movie that it references.”
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle · 100
“From the action to the drama to the superhero cameos, this is a more mature Spider-Man with smarter storytelling and a more satisfying payoff.”
Jake Kleinman, Polygon · 92
“Dark, grounded, vulnerable, and unexpectedly moving, it finds the heart and soul of Peter Parker and understands that his humanity—his compassion, decency, empathy, and instinct to reach toward others—is as essential to his heroism as anything the mask or his powers can give him.”
Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist · 91
“It’s getting harder by the movie to walk the tightrope (or spider’s web) that is the ever-crowded Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fourth in the Tom Holland Spidey-series, manages it. Just.”
Chris Knight, Original-Cin · 91
“There’s a useful lesson for superhero films in that. More often than not, there’s much greater power in protecting your hometown than in saving the universe.”
Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post · 88
