You think seeing Tom Holland as Spider-Man would get old by the 4th movie.
But instead it may just be his best outing yet. "Brand New Day" raises the stakes and carries a surprising amount of emotional heft. Building off the ending of "No Way Home" and permitting Peter Parker to mature and grow as a character, the movie does go in a surprisingly darker direction w/o spoilers.
The action is phenomenal. Highlights being a brawl with Hulk, a tank chase with the Punisher, and a melee fight with ninjas. Yes there are even ninjas in this.
Special mention to MCU newcomer Sadie Sink who is quite a compelling screen presence in her own right. Jon Bernthal is good as Punisher and his banter with Holland is pretty fun to watch.
