It's rare that such a late entry into a franchise could be considered its best. And yet here we are: after the gimmick laden No Way Home, we have been given as much of a Tom Holland pseudo origin story we can get at this stage. And on top of that, it was actually rather good.
I think the most striking thing about this chapter was how non-Spider-Man it was, even though it was indeed full of Spider-Man. If that doesn't make sense, it's probably because we're not used to a Spider-Man film having any real sort of moral, emotional or character depth. I felt bad for Peter more than a few times here.
But apart from that, it was a good Spider-Man film too, and delivered all the action and superhero antics you'd want from such a premise. All these things make Brand New Day the best of the Holland Spider-Man films for me, so this is of course very much recommended.
