The last movie I saw was Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

I’ll say this… it was so fucking good. It was better than I expected it to be. I was all up in my feels with this one.

I didn’t watch all of the Spider-Man movie like No Way Home but I did watch all the Avengers and Captain America: Civil War. Instead of watching No Way Home, I ended up catching up by watching the recap on YouTube.

<SPOILER ALERT>

It’s been years since No Way Home and Peter Parker’s been living completely alone after voluntarily erasing himself from his loved ones so they can go on with their lives without being in danger or missing out on what could have been.

Peter’s fighting crime full-time by himself and no one is the wiser. When they portrayed the loneliness that he was going through, I felt that. Every time I moved, I was in a new city where no one knew me and I for the most part, was a loner until people befriended me.

Anyway, Jean Gray (Sadie Sink—from Stranger Things) is introduced in this movie and she is a force to be reckoned with. Her mutant powers include telepathy and telekinesis; with the cosmic Phoenix Force, her powers become even more heightened with molecular manipulation, energy control and cosmic rebirth and destruction.

Enter Dr. Banner aka The Hulk discussing the inhibitor chip with Peter, who in his own right is a genius too. This was legit nerd talk and I was here for it. I thoroughly enjoy applied physics, biochemistry, pathophysiology, and organic chemistry. I got that from my dad.

I won’t say more about what happens next but I will say this. The mind may not remember, but the body will always remember… like Ned still knowing the handshake after all those years and having his memory erased… I felt that.

</SPOILER ALERT>

The next movie I want to see is The Odyssey but on IMAX 70 mm. I don’t know when I’ll see it since it’s sold out everywhere for weeks.

    On Netflix, the show was a short 6-part series, “I Will Find You,” and I am watching The Walking Dead and all the spinoffs from the series. I am on the last part of the franchise now, “Dead City”

    We watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day on the day of release 😊. My son was ticking his calendar. No way we could escape. It was good. Though I liked Tobey Maguire better.

      i saw the tobey one too but tbh i don’t remember it. it was a long time ago tho

      1. Chetna KS Avatar

        I too had first watched a long time ago. Then, my son made us watch it over and over again. It feels like we never left the theatre 🙄.

    Great review rojie!

    This movie was even better than I expected. I just didn’t like the fact that Jean Grey was essentially the villain – or at least for most of the movie she was.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      yeah but maybe they were building some sorta arc for her in this movie

      1. rebuilding rob Avatar

        Probably, the only thing I’ve really heard plan beyond Doomsday and secret wars is “the mutant saga” which means they’re finally doing the X-Men!

        1. justrojie Avatar

          yasss i believe sony was planning the merge

    Like you I last saw this as well last Tuesday. Upon thinking about the memory erase..Strange should’ve just erased the memories of his friends knowing that he is Spider-man but kept the friendship intact..idk probably wouldn’t have been a compelling film, stuck in one note super hero mode. I.liked that most if this film dealt with the emotional turmoil of Peter Parker.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      yeah i think you’re right it wouldn’t have been as compelling

    Yaaa! I can’t wait ’till you blog about the Homer epic poem!!! My observations of Spiderman Brand New World are ALL positive right down to the sound track! There is one song which was played at M.J.’s party that utilized a guitar e string bass note play that was SO cool!!! And the biomechanic talk between Banner and Peter was super wicked!!! I like how he developed further into a more organic spider superhero too!!! One of my Ultimate Fallout 4s came in the mail….I did not even look at it for fear of unwrapping it and damaging it> sending as is to CGC to be stabbed and hope for a 9.8, lol, second one I will pick up on Monday! Thanks Ro!!!

    1. justrojie Avatar

      ah i didn’t even pay attention to the guitar during the party!

      1. Nicholas K F Matte Avatar

        Lol! It’s a sweet riff!!

    Last movie I saw was Demolition Man. The Missus and I decided the Kiddos needed to be exposed to ‘classic’ action movies.

    It has a surprisingly dark and intellectual vein in it, when you get past the humor and over-the-top action.

    Next on the list?

    Superman. The 70s one.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      oh gah… not you too. my dad did the same thing to us kids growing up LOL

    My teen went to watch both the Odyssey and Spiderman.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Oooh nice did he like both?

      1. ibarynt Avatar

        He did. But he’s not much of a talker so that’s all I get, he liked 😁.
