The Telegraph Rating:’With Tom Holland on sparkling form and a mystery role for Sadie Sink, Brand New Day restores the gawkiness the franchise has been missing’ The New York PostRating:’Taking into account the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s crises in recent years , and the long five-year gap since he was last onscreen, Spidey firmly remains the best thing they’ve got’The IndependentRating: ‘Tom Holland’s web-slinger – finally New York-based and fighting on a street level – has never been more authentic to the source material than in his fourth solo go-round, and the entire franchise is better for it’The Guardian Rating:’It’s an entertaining spectacle, but really without the novelty of movie-iterations like the more experimental Spider-Verse animations. A more radical reboot is needed’New York Times ‘Nothing can erase the enjoyment of witnessing Holland’s performance, which remains winsome and wonderfully kinetic even if you know that’s got to be a computer-generated Spidey a lot of the time’ <!- – ad: https://mads.dailymail.co.uk/v8/us/tvshowbiz/none/article/other/mpu_factbox.html?id=mpu_factbox_1 – ->
‘Brand new day isn’t the beginning, it’s the ending of the movie. Best spider man movie!’Just watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and yeah this is the best Spider-Man movie ever. I definitely need a rewatch asap.’Zendaya and Tom famously met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.Fast forward ten years, and the pair are now married and back on the promotional trail for their latest Spider-Man film.The new film follows the ending of No Way Home, in which a spell cast by Dr Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) caused everyone in the world to forget the existence of Spider-Man’s secret identity, Peter Parker (Holland). Florence Pugh meanwhile stunned in a silver tassel dress with a statement structured neckline She looked sensational in the gorgeous number which she teamed with strappy heels She will reprise her role as Yelena Belova in the film Myleene Klass looked stunning in a backless black gown Myleene was joined by her daughter Ava, 18, for the premiere Laura Whitmore and her husband Iain Stirling looked smart in all-black looks Cat Burns looked stylish as she arrived Clara Amfo wore a web-inspired silver dress Strictly’s Nadiya Bychkova showed off her toned abs in a black co-ord Lottie Moss meanwhile wore a red mini dress and towering heels Tom Fletcher wore a pink shirt and black trousers Tom’s co-star Marisa Tomei wore a strapless navy dress. Marisa portrayed May Parker (Aunt May) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Marisa and Tom posed together The new film follows the ending of No Way Home, in which a spell cast by Dr Strange caused everyone in the world to forget the existence of Spider-Man’s secret identity, Peter ParkerBrand New Day picks up four years later, after Parker has largely given up on his connection to the world around him and has devoted himself entirely to fighting crime as Spider-Man, even as his former girlfriend MJ (Holland’s real-life wife, Zendaya, who stunned in a black arachnid-themed gown at the film’s premiere on Monday in Los Angeles) has moved on with a new love interest after forgetting that they were ever a couple.Amid the turmoil in his life, Parker’s superpowers begin to undergo a sometimes disturbing evolution, which several critics compared approvingly to the direction taken by the original trilogy starring Tobey Maguire.Critics have called it one of the best of the iconic superhero’s films – and a return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Critics had high praise for Brand New Day’s returning star, Tom, and they largely applauded the film’s move away from the confusing bloat of the previous entry in the series, Spider-Man: No Way Home.The New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski wrote that the current Spider-Man series is the only part of the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe that he still looks forward to.Oleksinski called Brand New Day a ‘welcome reunion’ with Holland and Peter Parker, though he noted that it was ‘much darker’ than previous Spider-Man entries.He agreed with the comparisons to the Maguire years, writing, ‘Tonally, Brand New Day is a lot more like Tobey Maguire’s aughts films, which to my mind are not only the gold standard of Spider-Man movies, but Marvel films as well.’Writing for RogerEbert.com, Brian Tallerico gave Brand New Day a middling 2.5 stars out of four. The film was released in cinemas on Wednesday and the fan reviews are already very positiveLike others, he saw a negative influence from the MCU and worried that the film was only a transitional piece to set up a bigger payoff.’Affection for the characters who have been around for four movies now goes a long way to holding Brand New Day together,’ Tallerico wrote, ‘but it ultimately succumbs to one of the biggest problems of late-stage MCU: The feeling that it’s just preparation for more movies.’The premiere comes as Tom and Zendaya’s latest movie The Odyssey has already set critical and audience review records. Figures show from just under one week of The Odyssey’s wide release, July 17, the movie’s total haul is $303million worldwide, with likely another $15-20million coming in when Wednesday’s figures arrive.But with the couple’s upcoming Spider-Man movie set to be released in days, fans will have to see which film becomes the top-grossing film of the year, as Brand New Day is currently breaking ticket pre-sale records for the opening weekend and first week.It comes after last month Supergirl was projected to face a staggering $100million loss after it bombed at the box office on its opening weekend. The film, which stars Milly Alcock, 26, as the superhero, was released globally in June.It marked a major setback for Warner Bros and the rebooted DC Universe as Supergirl cost $170million to produce and $120million to take to market. Warner Bros had a hopeful beginning last summer when Superman became the highest-grossing superhero movie of the year. But poor tickets sales on the opening weekend saw Supergirl take in $38million in US and Canadian theaters and $30million in overseas markets.
