    ★★★★★

    No offense but if you don't think this is the best spider man movie you're a fool and your opinion is worthless.

    Watching this is like pissing in an open wound I swear. I watch movies to distract me from my crippling loneliness, not remind me of it!

    I love the cinematography here. The constant close ups make us feel as trapped as the characters, compared to the wider shots in the flashbacks. The aspect ratio is perfect. It feels simultaneously intimate and claustrophobic. The choice of mostly handheld makes the film feel very human.

    The acting is great. Gosling really embodies…

    "How long can a world go on under such a subtle god?

    You know how if you hear something is a masterpiece long enough you start to sort of question if it’s actually that good?

    Alien is better.
