Marvel's testing how much story one web-slinger can carry, and here it's carrying a fair bit more than it needs to.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day chucks Damage Control, the Hulk, the Hand, Tombstone and anything else it can think of into the mix, and mostly just shrugs its way through the pile-up. Tom Holland's Peter is down on his luck and lonelier than we've seen him, which could've been something, but the film never quite settles into it before moving on.
Sadie Sink is the standout by some distance. Her Jean Grey turns up wrung-out and haunted, and things pick up whenever she's around. Jon Bernthal's Punisher is decent value too, all coiled menace and dry charm — I'd happily watch a whole film built around him instead.
The Hand fight is proper Crouching Tiger stuff, wires and all, and easily the best ten minutes on offer. The rest coasts along at two hours twenty-five without doing much to earn it.
Fine if this is your thing. Sink and Bernthal deserve better either way.
Not a bad effort and I suppose it could have been worse but it does its' job and it's entertaining enough .Not brilliant but not poor either and above average compared to some of the other blockbusters that come out .You generally know what you're going to get with Marvel films ,even if some of them don't do that well ,they're usually worth watching .I found the plot a bit hard to follow and some of the dialogue a bit naff.
