Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review - This is PERFECTION — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Spider-Man: Brand New Day one of my most
2. 0:02anticipated Spider-Man projects of all
3. 0:04time. The marketing was absolutely
4. 0:06incredible and everything for this film
5. 0:08in terms of what it was setting up and
6. 0:10kind of readjusting for the MCU version
7. 0:12of Peter Parker. A Peter Parker that
8. 0:14I've actually kind of liked and overall
9. 0:16really enjoyed Tom Holland's version of
10. 0:18it. Even that original trilogy for all
11. 0:20the quips and all the issues I had by
12. 0:22the end of No Way Home, I felt that that
13. 0:24was actually the main story line for
14. 0:27what they gave. And the way that I view
15. 0:28this Peter Parker is that he is just
16. 0:30different. It's a different Spider-Man
17. 0:32story that we've ever been told. And
18. 0:34that was his origin story. And now we're
19. 0:36fleshed into the Spider-Man that many of
20. 0:38us have wanted him to be. Depressed,
21. 0:41sad, and dealing with a lot of [ __ ]
22. 0:43And with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we
23. 0:46are here. And I'm here to tell you that
24. 0:48we have not gotten a Spider-Man live
25. 0:50action film this good since Sam Ramy
26. 0:53Spider-Man 2. Let's talk about it.
27. 0:55What's growd? Welcome back to a
28. 0:56non-spoiler review for Spider-Man Brand
29. 0:58New Day. Of course, we're going to be
30. 1:00doing a lot of videos this week, whether
31. 1:01it's shorts in terms of spoilers,
32. 1:03talking about certain postredit scenes,
33. 1:05what that could mean, or even MCU
34. 1:07rankings and Spider-Man rankings. That's
35. 1:09all coming down the pipeline. We're
36. 1:10talking brand new day right now. And I
37. 1:12will just tell you right now, I am
38. 1:14literally kind of low-key shaking by how
39. 1:16much I freaking love this movie. I
40. 1:18cannot wait to see this movie again. I
41. 1:19cannot wait to experience this movie
42. 1:21again. this is a Spider-Man movie that
43. 1:23I've been wanting to see. And something
44. 1:25that Holland has said in a lot of the
45. 1:27press is that yeah, I went and looked at
46. 1:28like what the fans wanted. And I
47. 1:30absolutely believe that to so many
48. 1:32different degrees, not in terms of just
49. 1:34Spider-Man, but in terms of what he
50. 1:35wants to see in the MCU. Certain
51. 1:37explanations, certain jokes, and just
52. 1:39little things that kind of go towards
53. 1:40this movie. But mainly in full and
54. 1:42foremost, what I really want to say is
55. 1:44that this is a Spider-Man movie. Yes,
56. 1:47there are little things that go into the
57. 1:49MCU and interconnected thing, but like
58. 1:50it it is such a side thing to that that
59. 1:53we'll discuss more in my like mixed and
60. 1:55cons that Spider-Man brand new day just
61. 1:58genuinely like is such a street level
62. 2:01Spider-Man movie. And again, people will
63. 2:03be like, "It can't be that street level
64. 2:05with the Hulk and, you know, with
65. 2:06certain other things I've seen in the
66. 2:08trailer." Listen, I think this is as
67. 2:10street level as you can make it. And
68. 2:12what I love about it is that this is
69. 2:14more of a personal journey for Peter
70. 2:15than anything else. and all the other
71. 2:17characters that you see intertwined
72. 2:19inside the story, Sadie Sinks, the
73. 2:21Punisher, and specifically Hulk, all of
74. 2:24those characters have very meaningful
75. 2:27stuff to give to Peter himself and
76. 2:30specifically all tie into the thematical
77. 2:32avenue of what this story very much
78. 2:34wants you to feel. And it is a tragic
79. 2:37but poetic odyssey about depression,
80. 2:40about feeling alone, about feeling like
81. 2:42you should be alone, and maybe figuring
82. 2:44out that, hey, that's not the best way
83. 2:46to go about things. And the same thing
84. 2:48as I just mentioned all those
85. 2:49characters. I was flabbergasted as well
86. 2:52as how they used MJ and Ned. It's
87. 2:54perfect. And I didn't want them in this
88. 2:56movie initially. I said that is a
89. 2:57terrible choice. Bring them back in the
90. 2:59fifth one, the sixth movie. I do not
91. 3:01need them in this fourth film. But it
92. 3:03was a perfect choice. and I love that
93. 3:05they brought them back. If you don't
94. 3:06know what Brand New Day is about, it's
95. 3:08about a forgotten Peter Parker who lives
96. 3:09alone as a full-time Spider-Man until
97. 3:11mounting pressure triggers a dangerous
98. 3:13change in a powerful new enemy now
99. 3:15emerges. Now, if you don't know that
100. 3:16this movie is directed by Daniel Destin,
101. 3:18who's done incredible work inside the
102. 3:20indie job, but the last film he directed
103. 3:22before this was Shani and I loved Shani.
104. 3:26But what I will say is about Shani is
105. 3:28that it felt MCUi. It definitely felt
106. 3:31like it was a piece of the MCU in terms
107. 3:33of some humor, in terms of themes, and
108. 3:34what I was very much taken back by Brand
109. 3:36New Day. While it still has some of that
110. 3:38stuff, it felt like, and I hate to say
111. 3:41this, it felt like a movie. It It
112. 3:43genuinely felt like a movie, and it kind
113. 3:44of has felt what Kevin Feige has done
114. 3:46now in the last two projects alone for
115. 3:48the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that
116. 3:50was Thunderbolt, and that was Fantastic
117. 3:524. All having elements of the MCU, but
118. 3:55for the most part, feeling like the
119. 3:56creators vision. And Brand New Day
120. 3:59continues that trend that I am loving.
121. 4:01And you can very much feel that Kevin
122. 4:03Feige has kind of whipped around and
123. 4:04done a complete 360 on terms of what he
124. 4:07wants to do with this franchise. And
125. 4:08that kind of goes towards the look of
126. 4:10the movie, the way that it feels. Seeing
127. 4:12Peter suit and like the wrinkles and
128. 4:13everything really does add an aesthetic
129. 4:16that I don't think we've felt in a long
130. 4:19time with a live action Spider-Man
131. 4:20movie. And it all ties in and really
132. 4:22brings to life not just the action
133. 4:24sequences but specifically the personal
134. 4:26thematical avenues that Peter Parker
135. 4:28does. And Destin Daniel [ __ ] should
136. 4:30direct the entire next trilogy of
137. 4:32Spider-Man. Sorry Shani fans. I truly
138. 4:34believe that. I don't know if he will
139. 4:36continue since the guy seems freaking
140. 4:37busy doing an Naruto film next. Maybe
141. 4:40Shani 2 next. I'll just say I don't know
142. 4:42what he does next, but if he can do the
143. 4:44next Spider-Man movie, I would
144. 4:46absolutely adore it. If not, you do need
145. 4:48to bring in someone with a personal
146. 4:49vision just like he did. And that
147. 4:52doesn't slight John Watts. I think John
148. 4:53Watts was literally hired to do what he
149. 4:55needed to do. And in a lot of ways, I
150. 4:58felt that, as I mentioned earlier in
151. 4:59this review, this is Tom Holland's
152. 5:01passion project. This is the film that I
153. 5:02think he's wanted to do with Spider-Man
154. 5:04for quite a bit. And you can feel it
155. 5:06from so many different avenues to the
156. 5:08point that even sometimes it feels like
157. 5:09a lot. But even on retrospect, I look at
158. 5:12that a lot feeling and I'm like, I kind
159. 5:14of love it. Before I dive into like more
160. 5:16of the story as much as I can be with
161. 5:18having to be as vague as possible, I do
162. 5:20want to mention the performances and
163. 5:21really touch in on those. Tom Holland
164. 5:22has never been better as Peter Parker. I
165. 5:24think this is the best that we've ever
166. 5:25seen him as Peter Parker as this
167. 5:27character and I absolutely loved him in
168. 5:29this. I think he just gets better with
169. 5:30every single performance and role and I
170. 5:33can't wait to see what he does next in
171. 5:34this role. Adding in the same thing with
172. 5:36Zenaia. Now, I've really said up close
173. 5:39and personal that I did not want MJ in
174. 5:41this movie. I've liked Zena on this
175. 5:43role, but I really think we needed to
176. 5:44take a side step from that. And I'll
177. 5:46tell you right now, she was fantastic in
178. 5:47this movie. There is one scene h two
179. 5:49scenes in particular that are absolutely
180. 5:52immaculate that very much tone into the
181. 5:55entire theme of the messaging and
182. 5:57everything around there. And same thing
183. 5:59goes for John Bernnell's The Punisher.
184. 6:01There are a couple moments in here,
185. 6:02while more fun Punisher, I would say,
186. 6:05there are certain elements in here that
187. 6:07I think just fit personally for where
188. 6:08Frank is. And I'm curious to see some of
189. 6:10the in between that happens after the
190. 6:12last short and specifically Daredel that
191. 6:14we seen him in. And from here on out now
192. 6:16a battle on his net is also always
193. 6:18great. Isaken who of course a lot of us
194. 6:20love from the bear I will also give is
195. 6:22fantastic in this and I love love love
196. 6:24what they do with detective dwolf. Al
197. 6:27Tilman. What can I say? He is so great.
198. 6:29If you love him severance you're
199. 6:30probably going to love him here. Great
200. 6:30to see Mark Ruffalo back as well and of
201. 6:32course the trailers have said this. He
202. 6:34does come back into that raging Hulk and
203. 6:36it was fantastic. I would have liked a
204. 6:39little bit more of him, but again, I
205. 6:40think they used Hulk and Bruce Banner to
206. 6:42a perfect degree. Yes, before I talk
207. 6:45about Sadie Sync, I do want to give a
208. 6:46shout out to like Michael Mando, Marvin
209. 6:48Jones III, and of course, all the
210. 6:50Spider-Man villains that have been shown
211. 6:52in the trailer. There is not a lot of
212. 6:54them. There is not a lot of them, but it
213. 6:56was really great to see them in here.
214. 6:57And I think they add an aesthetic to
215. 6:58what Spider-Man has been doing in this
216. 7:00world. And especially Michael Mando, it
217. 7:02was so awesome to see him as Scorpion. I
218. 7:04really wish he was in here a little bit
219. 7:05more, but that's more from a fan
220. 7:07perspective than anything else because I
221. 7:08don't think it would have added anything
222. 7:09to the story. And also, to be completely
223. 7:12frank, I don't think it was needed. It's
224. 7:13just more of something I would want as a
225. 7:15fan. And then this brings me to Satie
226. 7:16Synync, which I will not touch on more
227. 7:18than just saying I think she may steal
228. 7:20the entire third act of this film. She
229. 7:22is absolutely incredible in this movie,
230. 7:25and I love, love, love the usage of her
231. 7:28and the character she plays. I think
232. 7:30this is where it kind of perfectly segus
233. 7:32me into the usage of all these
234. 7:34characters and I think what Dustin does
235. 7:36so great as a director and that is
236. 7:38mainly making sure that these characters
237. 7:40serve the purpose of the story and
238. 7:42especially our main hero Peter Parker.
239. 7:45When you watch this movie you very much
240. 7:46feel that each and every one of these
241. 7:48characters the issues that they go to
242. 7:49the discussions that they have with
243. 7:50Peter they all lead into his own
244. 7:52personal arc. And that is for me
245. 7:55personally the best thing about this
246. 7:56film is the way that it leads into that
247. 7:58odyssey, that poeticness of feeling
248. 8:01depressed, feeling grief, feeling just
249. 8:03sad in general. And also, I think we've
250. 8:06all been there is that sometimes we feel
251. 8:07that maybe it's just better to be alone.
252. 8:09I know I've definitely felt there. And I
253. 8:11think as a Spider-Man story, it's
254. 8:13perfect to feel what it actually
255. 8:14delivers there. Genuinely enough, it is
256. 8:16that story. It's those thematics that I
257. 8:18think is what carries this movie such to
258. 8:20a higher degree than I ever expected it
259. 8:22to be. This movie doesn't further the
260. 8:24MCU. It adds little sprinkles of course
261. 8:26with the Hulk and maybe the Punisher and
262. 8:28you can add certain things to that. And
263. 8:30Sing's character, while again I can't
264. 8:32say anything. You can imagine that with
265. 8:34all the secrecy, she probably leads into
266. 8:36something that's a little bit more
267. 8:38bigger picture. I love all those
268. 8:39different things and I love the way that
269. 8:41it touches on those and I love that it's
270. 8:42kind of just again sprinkled in there.
271. 8:44It's nice. It's like, oh, Hulk's back is
272. 8:46raging Hulk. How does that tie in? Why
273. 8:48isn't he in Doomsday? You find out if
274. 8:50it's small scale. And I think what I
275. 8:52really love about this is that this
276. 8:53movie, and I I know you hear this a lot
277. 8:55in comic book movies, but it does this
278. 8:57is one of those that feels like it's
279. 8:59ripped right off the comic book pages
280. 9:01and thrown in front of you. In fact, it
281. 9:02kind of feels like a nice oneshot in
282. 9:04between one trilogy, next journey we're
283. 9:06about to go on with this character. I
284. 9:07think some people may not like that
285. 9:09because it feels like we're kind of like
286. 9:10pressing the reset button and starting
287. 9:12that next journey, but I feel like it's
288. 9:14actually needed here for the first hour
289. 9:15where I felt like the film was broken
290. 9:17into three different acts. one act
291. 9:19particularly the first one that really
292. 9:21much establishes where's Peter Parker,
293. 9:22what has he been doing and what is the
294. 9:24story that we're going about here.
295. 9:25Second act starts to focus in on and
296. 9:27move him a little bit further and then
297. 9:28of course the third act finishes up all
298. 9:30that nature leading us in to what
299. 9:32chapter we need to see on him next. This
300. 9:34is the film that you need to feel. I
301. 9:36feel like you need to feel the weight. I
302. 9:37feel like you need to feel the time that
303. 9:38has passed since the last time we saw
304. 9:40Spider-Man himself in the MCU. Feels and
305. 9:43works perfectly, especially coming off
306. 9:44No Way Home, which was a fantastic
307. 9:46conclusion to that trilogy. big. It was
308. 9:48bombastic. And I kind of like that this
309. 9:50film still stayed in that style in terms
310. 9:52of action, but when it came down the
311. 9:54story, it was pretty low-key. And that's
312. 9:56where I want to talk about it is that
313. 9:57this does feel pretty damn street level.
314. 10:00What I've been wanting to see from a
315. 10:01Spider-Man film is that street level
316. 10:03nature because you can make it big in
317. 10:05certain regards and make it big in
318. 10:06certain reveals, but you can also keep
319. 10:08it very honed in on the character. And I
320. 10:10feel like that's something that as small
321. 10:12scale as some of the stuff in the last
322. 10:14films, it always felt like it was always
323. 10:15worldending nature. dramatics. And in
324. 10:18this movie, I'll say I don't feel like
325. 10:20the threat was worldending dramatic
326. 10:23natures. It very much was more of a
327. 10:25personal piece about Peter Parker. Even
328. 10:27to the way that the film ends and it
329. 10:28goes through the end credits, like it
330. 10:30feels different. And I really loved what
331. 10:32Kevin Feige let him do here. Goes again
332. 10:34back to Destin Daniel [ __ ] who does an
333. 10:36incredible job as the director here. He
334. 10:39has a singular vision for this
335. 10:40character. He absolutely feels
336. 10:42passionate about the same thing with Tom
337. 10:43Holland as this feeling like his passion
338. 10:45project. That also goes in terms of the
339. 10:47designs and what they want to do.
340. 10:48Whether you're looking at the suit that
341. 10:50completely looks like it's a love letter
342. 10:52from the some of the best the Holland
343. 10:53suit to of course some of the best from
344. 10:55Andrew Garfield and Tobey Magcguire
345. 10:56suit. Feeling like a love letter to
346. 10:58those suit and this may be my favorite
347. 11:00Spider-Man suit of all time now. I'm
348. 11:01absolutely obsessed with it. Love the
349. 11:03colors and again I mentioned earlier I
350. 11:05love the wrinkles and I love how that
351. 11:06all adds to every single one of the
352. 11:08action set pieces delivered here. set
353. 11:10pieces to just be straightforward are
354. 11:12the best that we've ever had inside the
355. 11:14Spider-Man live action films. They're
356. 11:16better than anything in the Remy movies.
357. 11:17And I genuinely think they topped the
358. 11:19webs slinging from Amazing Spider-Man 2,
359. 11:21which may be a hot take because I do
360. 11:23think that is some of the best, but you
361. 11:24can definitely tell that there is
362. 11:25inspiration taken from each and every
363. 11:27one of those films as well as the
364. 11:28Holland films as well as the MCU films,
365. 11:30but at the same point in time making it
366. 11:32feel fresh and making it feel different
367. 11:34because we can play around with all
368. 11:35these different characters, the Hulk,
369. 11:37the Punisher, and Scorpion and others.
370. 11:39All those action set pieces, every
371. 11:41single thing that you even get to see.
372. 11:42Even the hand, the way that they use the
373. 11:43hand was awesome. just was a nice like
374. 11:46little blurb and it's there. But again,
375. 11:47the action set piece you see in the
376. 11:49trailer is absolutely incredible. The
377. 11:50way that it builds up to that, the way
378. 11:52that it intersects and you can
379. 11:53definitely tell that one of the main
380. 11:54plans, one of the main main stakes of
381. 11:56all this was Insomniac Spider-Man, the
382. 11:58PlayStation game, which is also
383. 12:00fantastic. In usage that they kind of
384. 12:02take inspiration from so many different
385. 12:03mediums, whether it's the comics, the
386. 12:05other movies, the video games, you can
387. 12:07tell that this is a love letter to
388. 12:09Spider-Man fans and what they've been
389. 12:11wanting to see from a Spider-Man movie
390. 12:13for a while. And for me, that's where
391. 12:15this film goes above and beyond in all
392. 12:17those aspects. I'm sitting here talking
393. 12:19about in my review, the more I actually
394. 12:20[ __ ] love this movie, the more I can
395. 12:22sit here and tell you that damn, this
396. 12:24may be actually one of my favorite MCU
397. 12:25films. In fact, holy crap, it might be
398. 12:27delivered everything that I've wanted
399. 12:29from a Spider-Man movie. And I really am
400. 12:30sitting here flabbergasted by the tone
401. 12:32and the way that it feels different.
402. 12:34Talking about my mixed and my cons,
403. 12:36there is one sequence in this movie that
404. 12:39I feel like personally was not needed
405. 12:41for the film. It is the most MCU scene
406. 12:45in the film. You'll know exactly what
407. 12:47I'm talking about. I cannot say what it
408. 12:49is, but if you've seen the film or when
409. 12:51you watch the film, you will know
410. 12:52exactly what I'm talking about. This
411. 12:53scene was not needed. It was cool. Sure,
412. 12:55it was nice, but it felt so different in
413. 12:57terms of tone and even in terms of
414. 12:59humor. And it felt like we were going
415. 13:00back more towards uh the last trilogy in
416. 13:02terms of all that. And that for me was
417. 13:04the most glaring thing in there. I don't
418. 13:07even know why it was in there because I
419. 13:09feel like a rewrite would have easily
420. 13:10been able to get rid of there. In fact,
421. 13:12there was another I want to say
422. 13:14character that was recently just
423. 13:15announced that was cut from the film
424. 13:17that I felt like that should have been
425. 13:19in here. I felt like that would have
426. 13:20been more logical to have here. But that
427. 13:22is maybe the one thing and it's like
428. 13:24less than a 5minute scene that kind of
429. 13:26just like comes in and goes out and then
430. 13:28once it's done that's it. Now maybe in
431. 13:31the future I may change my mind about
432. 13:32that in terms of it like goes towards
433. 13:34anything bigger or more massive for the
434. 13:35character, but it just felt weird if I'm
435. 13:38being honest with you all. Whereas like
436. 13:40every other MCU connection I literally
437. 13:42had no issues with. I had nothing no
438. 13:44problems with nothing to that. And this
439. 13:46was the only one that always just like
440. 13:48kind of felt like it halted the pacing.
441. 13:50Uh exactly. Even though it's like right
442. 13:52at the start, which to speak about the
443. 13:53pacing I thought was pretty damn good.
444. 13:55Two and a half hours fly by for this
445. 13:57film. And yeah, that's just another pro.
446. 13:59My only issue with the movie and it's
447. 14:01like literally more of a nitpick that on
448. 14:02a rewatch I could see just kind of like
449. 14:04shading away and leaving. Before I get
450. 14:06to my final thoughts, there is one
451. 14:07postredit scene. It's all the way at the
452. 14:10end. I will say I h I have theories for
453. 14:14it, but it is very small scale. It is
454. 14:16very small in terms of what it shows and
455. 14:19it's more of leaving up to questions if
456. 14:22anything else and may lead into the next
457. 14:24film. You'll understand when you see it.
458. 14:25Yeah, this is everything I hoped it
459. 14:27would be. A tragic yet poetic odyssey
460. 14:29about what it truly means to feel alone,
461. 14:31only to realize you may not have to be
462. 14:33alone. It's thematically beautiful while
463. 14:35still delivering an endlessly
464. 14:36entertaining Spider-Man adventure that
465. 14:38never feels oversted. Nearly every
466. 14:40character serves Peter Parker's journey,
467. 14:43making every moment feel purposeful. Tom
468. 14:46Holland gives the best performance as
469. 14:47Peter, but somehow Sadie Sync might just
470. 14:49steal the entire film. Easily the best
471. 14:50action and websing I've ever seen on
472. 14:52Spider-Man live action film. It delivers
473. 14:54everything that you expected from the
474. 14:56trailers and more. And I absolutely love
475. 14:58this film. Besides my nitpick, I I'm
476. 15:01going to go a perfect score on this. I
477. 15:03think this is the perfect liveaction
478. 15:05Spider-Man film that a lot of fans have
479. 15:07been waiting for. So, all that said, I'm
480. 15:08going to give this movie a five out of
481. 15:09five. Thank you so much again for
482. 15:10watching this. If you are not sold yet
483. 15:12and not have bought your tickets, you
484. 15:13absolutely should. The MCU is back on an
485. 15:15upswing. I swear to you, like literally
486. 15:17the last few projects have been nothing
487. 15:18but [ __ ] great and I love it so much.
488. 15:21So, thank you so much again, guys, for
489. 15:22watching this. Look out for my ranking
490. 15:24and so much content this week for
491. 15:25Spider-Man that's probably going to hurt
492. 15:26my head and I appreciate each and every
493. 15:28one of you guys. So of course until next
494. 15:29time, stay classy.
