After the record-breaking global success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves.
Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers and based on the MARVEL Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

So getting those winter blues, stuck inside for days due to the weather (and lingering travel restrictions) making you a bit stir crazy? The perfect “cure” might be a virtual “vacay”, namely a globe-spanning adventure starring two actors representing the “next-gen” of action heroes. Hey, one of them is still dominating the box office (and probably playing in the auditorium next door or down the hall). But this is no mere travelogue “romp”. It’s an adaptation (and a hoped-for new franchise). Another comic book, maybe a novel, or perhaps a classic TV show? Get with it Gramps’, this is a computer game that hopes to make as big a splash as Sonic did two years ago. Rather than a CGI speedy critter, here’s the tale of a team who’ll face any danger in their quest for gold and glory hidden in territories still UNCHARTED.
Much like another beloved action franchise, this movie’s opening sequence has the intrepid Nate Drake (Tom Holland) in seemingly unescapable peril until…a flashback. We then meet him as a teen when he and his older brother Sam try to raid a museum in the dead of night. Try is the operative word as the two are hauled back to the orphanage. Before Sami s sent off to “juvie’ he promises Nate that he’ll keep in touch, then disappears into the night. A dozen or so years later adult Nate is mixing cocktails and tossing off historical explorer nuggets as he relieves spoiled “trust funders” of their trinkets and cash. But somebody’s on to his “game”: worldly “collector” Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wallberg). He approaches Nate and tries to recruit him into his plot to grab to golden jeweled crosses that would unlock the lost treasure of Magellan. Nate’s not onboard till Sully reveals that he worked with Sam. Actually, they just need the cross that’s part of a big “high-end” auction nearby (Sully insists he’s got the other one). The duo sneaks into the swanky event and are immediately spotted by the slinky Braddock (Tati Gabrielle), Sully’s rival and a ruthless retriever for multi-billionaire Santiago (Antonio Banderas) who believes the treasure is part of his family legacy. After the auction ends in chaos Sully and Nate are on the run, first to meet up with a shady operative in Barcelona, Chloe (Sophia Ali), leading to an all-out showdown on a Pacific island. Can the lowly trio get to the loot before Santiago and Braddock’s army scoops it up?
Aside from its gaming roots, this film’s biggest ‘draw” may be Holland, fresh off of last year’s biggest box office hit (now the third biggest domestic B.O. of all time). Here he brings the same infectious energy and boyish charm as Peter P., but offset with a devious, rascally grin as he breezes off with “ill-gotten booty”. That’s tempered with his sense of loss and longing to reunite with his mentor, older sibling. Part of that role is taken up by Wahlberg whose Sully oozes with layback cool mixed with lots of snark, as he tries to suppress a grin as Nate reminds him of his early blunders. Both actors can pull off the dapper and the dirty inherent in their roles. Always looking suave is Banderas who now seems to be the “go-to” guy for the sinister international mastermind (much as he did last year in THE HITMAN’S WIFE’S BODYGUARD). Well, at least he’s not stroking a cat as he reveals his nefarious schemes. One of those listening in would be Gabrielle who makes Braddock both sinister and sexy, an exotic dangerous beauty who will “kiss you deadly” without a moment’s hesitation. On the flip side, there’s Ali as Chloe who has tart chemistry with Nate, though she can’t quite be fully trusted since her past with Sully has made her much wiser…and wiley.
The action sequences are strung together with a manic pace by director Ruben Fleischer, who has jettisoned the subversive satire of his ZOMBIELAND films for gravity-defying (and physics-ignoring) set pieces to keep kids glued to their seats. Unfortunately, these CGI-enhanced stunt exercises are exhausting and eventually monotonous as the film tries to “top” itself and forgo more character development to keep moving to the next exotic locale. Plus the three (!) screenwriters should know better than to namedrop Indiana Jones and Jack Sparrow which reminds the audience of much-better adventure extravaganzas. Holland’s tossed around here as much as the wallcrawler, but he, like most of the characters, may just be made of pixels as they bounce back quicker than the Looney Tunes troupe. At least Indy had some “mileage” as Nate doffs his shirt baring a chest free of scrapes and bruises. And like most thrillers, they don’t know how to wrap things up as they sprinkle in mid-credits “bonus’ scenes to tempt us with future sequels (oh they surely hope). Aside from the future software exploits, this will probably end the big screen capers of Nate and Sully. It’s a shame since Holland and Wahlberg have an easy-going rapport. They’re deserving of a better outing than this “kiddie-spin” (aside from the patricide and some throat-slitting) on the modern swashbucklers that’s more uninspired than UNCHARTED.
Director Ruben Fleischer’s latest film, UNCHARTED, is set to hit theaters on February 18. Based on the PlayStation video game by Naughty Dog, watch the brand new trailer.
Street-smart thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago. What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother…but only if they can learn to work together.

MJ (Zendaya) prepares to freefall with Spider-man in Columbia Pictures’ SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME.
Who’s ready for a holiday road trip? Oh, the destination? It’s Christmas time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Yes, I know we’ve been there three times before in the last six months or so, from BLACK WIDOW to SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS, and most recently THE ETERNALS, but this is more than a bit unique. First, it’s another co-production with Sony, one that somewhat completes a trilogy. And though it is a journey forward with our favorite “wall-crawler” it also takes a side turn down “memory lane”. In that way, it’s a bit of a celebration since he swung into the comic book world sixty years ago next August, and this coming May it’ll be his twentieth-year “thwipping” through the big screen. But for all that time, poor Peter Parker can’t seem to catch a break with his new amazing adventure, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME
As you recall from the mid-credits sequence of the last flick Ole’ Pete (Tom Holland) is in big trouble. Blowhard video-blogger J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons) has revealed his identity to the world while accusing him of murdering Mysterio and unleashing a horde of deadly drones. But the media and law enforcement also go after GF MJ (Zendaya), BFF Ned (Jacob Batalon), Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), and even ‘Happy’ Hogan (Jon Favreau). Of course, this news torpedos the high school trio’s applications to MIT. How in the world can Pete fix this? He can’t just “web it up”. And his big “alibi”, Nick Fury, is “off-world”. Hey, he’s just blocks away from the “sanctum sanatorium” of his “Endgame” cohort, the master of mystic arts, Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). After much pleading, the doc decides to grant Pete’s request by casting a complex spell that will make everyone forget that he’s Spidey. Unfortunately, Strange is distracted by Pete’s “add-ons” (except MJ…and Ned…and…). But it looks like everything’s under control as Peter tries to talk with an MIT recruiter that’s stuck in traffic. Suddenly an armored tentacle bursts through the pavement. It’s Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), who recognizes Spider-Man, but is baffled by his unfamiliar voice (he’s a stranger to Pete) Then a cackling green troll tosses an explosive pumpkin-like grenade. The Green Goblin AKA Norman Osborn (Willam Dafoe) is on the attack. Later Strange explains that the flawed spell has opened up multiple portals to other dimensions, unleashing many unfamiliar “super-villains”. Can Spidey and Strange, with assists from MJ, Ned, and Happy (who’s got some old Stark tech) capture these powerful “baddies” and send them back? With the Avengers scattered, can anyone else help them out?
Once again, the talented Mr. Holland slips into the dual lead role as though it’s a pair of comfy old sneakers (perhaps more like a pair of “web-shooters”). He retains Pete’s infectious energy and optimism even though his whole world seems to be collapsing in on him. More than in the last two films, there’s much more at stake as his alter ego intrudes on the lives of those he cherishes the most. Holland communicates that through his often halting line delivery, which speeds up as Pete formulates a strategy at “Spidey-speed”. He proves that the character does indeed work best as a high-schooler (but not for much longer). Zendaya’s MJ still has that endearing snark, tinged with her near-pitch-black sense of humor, now tempered with her affection for Pete and the need to support and protect him. Much the same can be said for Batalon as Ned, still loving his role as “the guy in the chair”, but eager to take on more (which happens “in spades”). Tomei channels more of May Parker’s generous empathetic soul, when she’s not in “mama grizzly” mode to protect her dear Pete. Favreau is still a funny lovable “schlub” who’s often Pete’s mentor and cantankerous “Dutch Uncle”. And on the opposite side, several screen vets seem to be relishing their return to villainy. Molins is a malevolent megalomaniac who is baffled by his new, but “old”, enemy. Ditto for Dafoe, whose Osborn is in almost constant battle with the scheming Goblin. Oh, and Jamie Foxx is back as Max/Electro who appears to love hurling insults alongside his deadly lightning bolts. Luckily Cumberbatch as the good doctor/wizard is there to reign them in while proving to be another great teacher/coach and father figure to Pete.
As you can see from the splash page from 1965’s Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2, the Stan Lee/ Steve Ditko creations have been teaming up for quite a while
Returning to the director’s chair is Jon Watts, who proves most adept at juggling the action, comedy, and drama, keeping the pace steady while still hitting all the emotional “beats” of the script penned by some more series vets, Chris McKenna and Eric Summers. It’s quite an impressive balancing act, since several action epics often lurch about, changing done as they speed to the next big action sequence. Mind you, the great stunts and VFX are here “a plenty”, but what stays longest may be the quiet moments as unlikely characters bond despite bickering. Best of all Spidey remains a beacon of light amongst so many “grim and gritty” masked crimebusters (though he’s put to the test many times here). He continues to cling to the hope that people can change. And while other film franchises try to ignore or even discard their past incarnations, this endearing romp embraces all the quirks and foibles of its forebearers. That’s heightened by the sprightly score from Michael Giacchino which seamlessly weaves in iconic melodies. And though many may see this tale as a conclusion (at least to the “home” subtitles), its finale announces a new start (buoyed by word that Holland and Marvel will continue with Sony for another trilogy). SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is a celebration of the past, a touching look ahead, and an affectionate nod to the faithful fans of the beloved character. Somewhere Stan “the man” Lee is flashing that big grin…
