Spider-Man Brand New Day Review - TVMR054
Episode 54
Wednesday, 5 August, 2026
INTRO:I’m Hank, longtime podcaster, filmmaker, and YouTuber, and this is my review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This is a spoiler-filled review of the movie so you’ve been warned.BUDGET:225 million dollars.You want to hit a 2.5x to 3x for profitability.The movie hit a billion dollars worldwide in six days.SETTINGS:New York City feels alive, populated, expansive, and adds character to the film unlike many other films that feel so much smaller. Even the interior shots of Damage Control and even apartments, felt larger than life and realistic. The damage caused in the environment also feels like it will put other people in danger.CHARACTERS:Tom Holland: Peter ParkerZendaya: MJJacob Batalon: Ned LeedsSadie Sink: Jean GreyJon Bernthal: Frank CastleMark Ruffalo: Bruce BannerLiza Colon-Zayas: Det. Jean DeWolffFlorence Pugh: Yelena Belova Tramell Tillman: William MetzgerPlease follow the Facebook Page for our next movie called Not Scared. The page is titled Not Scared Movie. You can get your name in the credits of the film by donating. Head to NotScaredMovie.com for more information. I’ve lowered the amount to get your name in the credits.HITS:This movie lands on all emotional fronts.Happy, sad, fear, anger, disgust, surprise.I was finally invested in Peter Parker and MJ.Real Hulk returns!The Punisher and Spider-Man team up exceeded my wildest expectations!Why was The Hand there? Who cares, because the set pieces with them were next-level!Location, location, location. I felt like we were going all over New York and everything was interactive.Someone was cutting onions when we did the Aunt May flashbacks.The set pieces in this movie will be copied for years to come.The overall depth of Peter Parker/Spider-Man was something we haven’t seen from Tom Holland’s version of the character.MISSES:I hate when super hero movies add government oversight (save for Captain America Winter Soldier). Once you add the government you start asking questions that the story can’t answer.The writing in some spots is clunky. Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, and rewrite contributions by Justin Kuritzkes. You have to do substantial re-writes in order to get credited.I am not a fan of Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner.I dislike the Jean Grey introduction and casting.She does not feel like the character at all to me.Plays a dislikable character.It was far too easy to see who the villain was going to be.Some of the swinging CGI scenes took me out of the movie.They lingered on the shots too long.CHECK OUT MY NEW SHOW CALLED: Low-Budget Movie ReviewsLINK: https://feeds.captivate.fm/low-budget-movie-reviews/MOVIE SCORE: 8/10DIRECTION: A Destin Daniel CrettonWRITING: B Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, and Justin KuritzkesCINEMATOGRAPHY: APOST PRODUCTION: (score/sfx/edit/color grade) AREWATCHABILITY: A1 Awful content = Fails on every single level.2-4 Poor = Terrible on almost every front.5 Mediocre = Some of the content is worthwhile but mostly broken.6 Average = Okay writing, acting, storytelling and execution.7 Good = Solid writing, acting, storytelling and execution.8 Great = Great writing, acting, storytelling and execution.9 Almost Perfect = Very minor nitpicks but otherwise excellent.10 Perfect = A masterpiece! No writing, acting or storytelling flaws. Would hold up against all time classics (e.g. M.A.S.H., Lost, Game of Thrones etc).
