One of this years many highly anticipated blockbusters and it was well worth the wait in my opinion.

The story starts at the beginning where Peter Parker is a loser, a nerd, a geek of the highest degree. Whilst on a school trip to a genetic research lab he gets bitten by a super hybrid spider which starts off a chain of changes to his biological make up. He becomes super strong, he no longer needs his glasses, things stick to his hands and he can fire webbing from his wrist.

However when the father of a friend (and highly successful businessman) tests a new formula on himself, becoming the mad hob goblin, the new super hero on the beat is going to have his work coming out on top. The effects aren’t over done and his super powers seem plausible enough in a weird kind of way.
