‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Has Lowest Critics’ Score Of Tom Holland’s Spidey Movies - Forbes

What the report says

Forbes reported that “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is drawing strong early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but its current critics’ score places it at the bottom of Tom Holland’s solo “Spider-Man” rankings, tied with one earlier entry. According to Forbes, the film’s Tomatometer score stood at 91% from 152 reviews after initially opening at 92% and briefly falling as low as 89%. The article noted that the figure may still change as more reviews are added.

The movie, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, continues Peter Parker’s story four years after “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Forbes describes the premise as following Peter after Doctor Strange’s spell erased public memory of his identity, including from MJ and Ned. In the new film, Peter is isolated, considers reconnecting with them, faces a major new antagonist and deals with unstable spider-sense abilities.

Forbes compared the early reception with Holland’s three prior solo outings. “Spider-Man: No Way Home” remains the highest-rated of the group on Rotten Tomatoes at 93%, followed by “Spider-Man: Homecoming” at 92%. “Spider-Man: Far From Home” also has a 91% critics’ score, making it tied with “Brand New Day” in Forbes’ comparison.

The report said the review embargo lifted Tuesday morning after critics’ screenings the previous night. The PG-13 film, starring Holland alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman, Liza Colón-Zayas, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo, was scheduled for Thursday previews ahead of a nationwide theatrical opening Friday. The early score matters because Rotten Tomatoes ratings are often used as a public snapshot of critical momentum for major franchise releases.
