Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Big-screen superhero action with real stakes and a villain you cannot see
Destin Daniel Cretton sends Tom Holland's Peter Parker into a city that no longer remembers him, and that pressure cracks open a transformation he may not control. At 145 minutes this swings big: web-slinging set pieces, a threat no one can even see, and Jon Bernthal in the mix to keep the edges sharp. It is sitting at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb, and it is playing in English in Berlin, so the kinetic action lands the way it should: loud and large.
- Science fiction and action built for scale and momentum
