Hideo Kojima is a big fan of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, calling it " fresh and entertaining" at a time when "sincere filmmaking is starting to feel precarious"

New Marvel movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day swung into cinemas last weekend to rave reviews from audiences and critics alike, including game developer slash Twitter film reviewer Hideo Kojima, who seems to heavily relate to Peter Parker's struggles.

"A lonely hero, a lonely Spidey, a lonely Peter Parker," begins Kojima's review on Twitter. "It was fresh and entertaining. Spider-Man has, up until now, generally wrapped up in trilogies as complete sets… This film continues both the cast and the story, but it's reset, depicting the loneliness and anguish of Peter, who's been left all alone. It can be seen as the start of a new series or as a continuation of the previous one. It's a pretty clever structure."
