ALSO NOTE: I have actually enjoyed all the Spiderman movies – but here goes - my 50 word bad critic below…
Spiderman – spider boy, more like it – how does one remotely imagine a feasible story about a kid being bitten by a spider taking on the abilities of such a grotesque creature and weave around the city on a web solving crimes and catching crooks – not a convincing character at all.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
