What happened
Spider-Man: A New Era, starring Tom Holland, opens a new trilogy but struggles with pacing and memorability despite strong action scenes and a thoughtful tone. The film explores Peter Parker's identity crisis in a world that forgets him, featuring returning characters and new challenges, but its 145-minute length feels excessive.
