Film Reviews & Criticism
Ehrlich's window centered on two new releases. On Spider-Man: Brand New Day, his most-discussed post — 475,787 views, 81 replies — was a sharply negative review calling the sequel 'dull & tedious' and arguing it 'only epitomizes why the MCU can't move forward,' despite the film being Marvel's 'best chance to get back on track' ([1]). He reinforced this stance in a reply to @rockmarooned's embargo-break comments, warning that if Avengers: Doomsday doesn't surpass Spider-Man 'we are in for a world of pain' ([2]). On Tony, he was positive but mixed, praising Matt Johnson's 'briny & bittersweet coming-of-age story' as 'fun, summery, even Rohmer-esque before it settles for convention,' naming Leo Woodall MVP ([3]). His Tony review garnered 208,814 views and 16 replies.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day — MCU franchise critique: Negative review: 'a movie about people who don't remember or care about all that multiverse nonsense, this was Marvel's best chance to get back on track. alas, this dull & tedious sequel only epitomizes why the MCU can't move forward' ([1]). Extended the critique to the wider franchise, warning that Avengers: Doomsday must clear the bar Spider-Man set or face trouble ([2]).
Tony — Bourdain coming-of-age film: Positive but mixed: 'briny & bittersweet coming-of-age story about a punchable kid who has no idea he'll grow up to be Anthony Bourdain. fun, summery, even Rohmer-esque before it settles for convention. Leo Woodall MVP' ([3]).
