it was probably the best film i've seen for a while - even trumping the LOTR films. i used to collect spidey comics when i was a bairn, so i guess i've a soft spot for the webcrawler. what impressed me about this film was the vulnerability of the hero character, for whom everything seems to go wrong, precisely because of his efforts to do the right thing.
i was reminded of a talk given by dallas willard about how this is the crux of the human condition when separated from God - that each person does want to the the right thing, but also have a good life. it is the apparent incompatability of these two desires that leads to the individual choosing one aim over the other - tragically when one is separate from God, neither goal can be achieved.
anyway, for those that haven't seen the film, this human situation is very sensitively portrayed (albeit in Hollywood-action- hero-love-story terms), and a satisfying, but not cliched, 'wait-until-the-next-film-resolution' reached at the end of the film. well worth seeing if you haven't already.
