Spider-Man's Lost Day | Bakersfield News

Spider-Man’s latest flick, “Brand New Day,” is a sluggish, overstuffed mess that wastes its two-hour runtime. After Doctor Strange erases everyone’s memories—including MJ and Peter’s best friend—the web-slinger fights crime alone, but the film lacks a compelling villain, dragging out battles with Scorpion and Hulk without stakes. A pivotal moment where Spider-Man could’ve ended it all is inexplicably skipped, replaced by an unnecessary post-credits scene. The romance feels awkward and hollow without shared history, while Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Florence Pugh’s Black Widow offer standout energy. Action is polished but forgettable—familiar swings and aerials, no innovation. It’s not terrible, but it’s painfully underwhelming and leaves you wishing for something better.
