Ben Shapiro Reviews 'Spiderman: Brand New Day'
Summary
Ben Shapiro reviews "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," ranking it below previous entries like "Into the Spider-Verse" and "No Way Home." He critiques the thin plot involving Jean Grey and Damage Control, noting logical inconsistencies and a weak resolution that effectively reverses the previous film's stakes. While praising Tom Holland’s performance and Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Shapiro finds the movie tedious and forgettable, ultimately awarding it a mediocre three-out-of-five rating.
