Our take
Generations: The Evolution of Spider-Man is a 27-minute documentary special tracing live-action Spider-Man suits and stunts from Tobey Maguire through Tom Holland, with a peek at the next film. It is a promotional making-of piece rather than a full movie. Expect archive action clips, mild superhero peril, and no standalone plot.
