Spider-Man: Brand New Day — Ten Out of Ten, and I’m Going Back
My Spider-Man Brand New Day review: the swinging that floored me, Bernthal’s Punisher, a monstrous Hulk, Jean Grey, and what Peter is now.
My Spider-Man Brand New Day review: the swinging that floored me, Bernthal’s Punisher, a monstrous Hulk, Jean Grey, and what Peter is now.
My Spider-Man No Way Home review: the multiverse, three Spider-Men, Aunt May, and how Tom Holland’s Peter finally becomes the comics character.
My Spider-Man Far From Home review: Tom Holland grieving Tony Stark, Zendaya’s brilliant MJ, and Mysterio’s con on a European class trip.
My Spider-Man Homecoming review: why Tom Holland nails the teenage Peter Parker better than anyone, plus the acting, growth, and MCU ties.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 crams in three villains and one devastating ending. Garfield and Stone are great. The film around them is doing too much.
The Amazing Spider-Man reboots Peter Parker five years after Raimi. Andrew Garfield’s take, mechanical web-shooters, and a Lizard that never quite lands.
Spider-Man 3 finally puts the black suit on screen and then wastes it, with a thin Venom, a buried Sandman and a jazz club scene I can’t defend.
Spider-Man 2 review. Molina turns Doc Ock into a man overruled by his own machine, the train scene is iconic, and Peter walks away from the job.
Spider-Man review. Raimi puts the wrestling ring and Uncle Ben on screen exactly as the comics did, and Dafoe is magnificent. The leads are too old.
