New Marvel film "Spider-Man: A New Day" has received very high scores from early audiences and critics. Days before its worldwide premiere, the film achieved 90% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes based on 81 reviews, according to infohub.kz.
The story picks up after the events of "No Way Home." Through several time jumps, viewers see how Peter Parker's life has changed. MJ and Ned still don't remember him, leaving the hero largely alone. His new allies include Bruce Banner, The Punisher, and police officer DeWolfe.
On Rotten Tomatoes, Tom Holland's performance is especially praised. Many reviewers consider it his strongest work as Peter Parker. Also well-received are Jon Bernthal, returning as The Punisher, and Sadie Sink, making her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
Critics note that the film moves away from multiverse storylines and focuses on Spider-Man himself. The plot centers on the hero's coming of age, his loneliness, friendship, and life in New York. The spectacular aerial sequences, fight scenes, and director Destin Daniel Cretton's work are singled out for praise.
Some reviewers feel the film is too long, with a runtime of about 2.5 hours. Part of the critics believe the story could have been shorter and certain plotlines less cluttered.
Despite these comments, most reviews are positive. Some journalists already call "A New Day" the best Spider-Man film since Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 2," and some even say it's Holland's best film. Many Marvel fans consider it one of the studio's most successful premieres in recent years.
On aggregator Metacritic, the film scored 69 out of 100 based on 40 reviews. Most critics agree that Marvel succeeded in bringing the story back to a more personal, grounded Spider-Man.
The worldwide premiere of "Spider-Man: A New Day" is set for July 31. In Kazakhstan, the film will be released nearly a week later, on August 6.
