Great movie...ignore the critics!

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2018)

I'm writing this review because this is my favorite Spider Man movie (despite what the critics say). Marc Webb and the team that produced his movie are an incredibly talented bunch, and the movie deserves better reviews than it received. To me, this movie sets itself apart through the telling of Peter Parker's relationship with Gwen Stacy and her late father...spoiler alert.
Peter and Gwen's connection draws you in with its familiarity. I was heart broken when Gwen died (unfortunately) in the end. This movie deserves a high rating simply for having the "guts" to confront mortality and the reality of even a super hero's ability to save even the ones we love most.
Phew...now that the heavy stuff is over I'll make a long story short. I had a blast watching this movie and I commend the writers for having he guts to include Gwen Stacy's death, and the talent to do it in a way that set this movie apart from every other super hero movie I've seen.
