Initial Twitter Comments for ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’
Critics who attended the premiere took to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the film for its emotional storytelling, action sequences, plot twists and cast performances. Several have even called it the best live-action superhero movie in years.One reviewer wrote, “#SpiderManBrandNewDay is the MCU Spider-Man movie I’ve always wanted. Bursting with sincerity and earnestness. Love and respect for the Spidey mythos. Destin and crew totally understood that what makes Spidey relatable isn’t that he’s superhuman, it’s that he’s superhuman. He cried so much.”Another reaction described the film as “a mixed bag” but still praised its emotional core. “#SpiderMan Brand New Day is a mixed bag. It evokes the best and worst of Sam RaimiThe Spider-Man Trilogy. The first 20 minutes are the quintessential Spidey comic and do for Spider-Man what the first 20 minutes of Matt ReevesBatman did for Batman. The film explores loneliness among young adults with delicacy and poignancy, and Tom Holland gives another amazing performance as Peter Parker.”Another reviewer compared Tom Holland’s performance to Tobey Maguire’s acclaimed performance in Sam Raimi’s second Spider-Man film, writing, “#spidermanbrandnewday is Tom Holland’s Spidey at his best…Peter’s struggles here, along the lines of Tobey in SM2, are as emotional and resonant as his journey. THE BEST action we’ve ever seen from any screen version of the character.”“
Spider-Man’s “emotional” plot shines
A separate reaction praised both the film’s visuals and themes, stating, “An emotionally meaty romp about loneliness and the suppression of who we really are. With incredible stunts, visual effects and colors, it’s the best-looking Spider-Man film since the Raimi era. The strap has never been catchier.”Another attendee added: “#SpidermanBrandNewDay is everything I hoped it would be! A tragic yet poetic odyssey about what it really means to be alone, only to realize that maybe you don’t have to be alone…”Another early reaction described the film as a more mature successor to its predecessor, writing: “SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY is a much more cerebral follow-up to the enjoyable No Way Home. It’s Tom Holland’s best performance as Peter Parker and the best Spiderman movie since Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN 2. Plus, the costume finally looks amazing.”Another review said: “#SpiderManBrandNewDay is a spectacular love letter to Spider-Man as a character and the world around him. Tom Holland, Zendaya and especially the scene-stealing. Sadie Sink they combine to make arguably the best Spider-Man movie to date. The MCU is back and better than ever.”
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ was hailed as the BEST Spider-Man movie
“#SpiderManBrandNewDay is without a doubt the best Spider-Man movie ever made. Yes, I said it. Tom Holland has firmly established himself as the ultimate Peter Parker/Spider-Man. This is the hero we’ve been waiting to see, fully embracing both his powers and the responsibility that comes with being everyone’s favorite character, even with this Spiderman movie. It’s more like Peter’s story. It’s his movie from start to finish. The action is spectacular, and the web-swinging is the best it’s ever been, with sequences inspired by previous Spider-Man films and especially the video games. The photography and camera work is absolutely stunning,” read another detailed review.Still another praised the film, writing: “My flabber is freaking out. Loved it #SpiderManBrandNewDay! Destin Daniel Cretton and Tom Holland put their hearts and souls into this thing and it’s so worth it! This movie is going to be massive and we’ll be talking about it for a while.” I was amazed at the balance of everything: emotion, humor, action, practical and visual effects, score and cinematography. This felt so handmade, even with some of the massive pieces and it’s filled to the brim with heart. This was worth the wait.”Hailing the film’s emotional core, another said: “I don’t care. I’m sitting here crying after watching #SpidermanBrandNewDay. It’s a massive movie that balances like 5 different lines in equal measure, each one better than the last. It can feel a little overwhelming, but it all comes together so well that it works.”Several critics also singled out Sadie Sink, whose role has been kept under wraps. Jonathan Sim wrote: “#SpiderManBrandNewDay is a FANTASTIC experience. It combines the heart of Peter Parker with the thrill of Spider-Man action. The swinging scenes are the BEST in years. A beautifully shot film with a powerful message. Sadie Sink is a standout.” The street-level Spider-Man we’ve been waiting for. Destin Daniel Cretton UPDATES this series more than you can imagine.“Still another praised the film’s writing: “Destin Daniel Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day injects a ferocious energy into Spidey’s latest adventure, delivering all the thrills you’d expect from a Tom Holland Spider-Man film while feeling deeper, more thoughtful and more mature than the previous trilogy. This maturity extends beyond the story to the action, with Cretton crafting some of my favorite Holland-era #SpiderMan fight sequences. Part detective story, part psychological thriller, part buddy comedy (the Spider-Man/Punisher banter is pretty funny), it stretches out in exciting new directions before becoming a true love letter to fans. When you see it, you’ll get it. And yes, the Sadie Sink mystery pays off. She’s perfect.”
