“There’s a fine line between a classic bildungsroman and a straight-up adolescent power fantasy, like the line between a fancy restaurant and a Cinnabon. But there are no gourmets in the airport terminal when those yummy little bitches are fresh out of the oven. Spider-Man’s story is some primal-ass teenage wish fulfillment: nerds beating jocks, astonishing the old people, romancing hot girls, skipping class without permission, dangling criminals from rooftops, fighting awesome monsters, and for God’s sake, people, we’re not made of stone here.”Best Amazing Spider-Man review. Going to have to watch it now. Good reviews plus Andrew Garfield is too much.–MM -- source link
