It just isn't Spider-man
21 July 2019
Going to start off positively here...the production values for this are some of the best in the fan film genre from the visuals to the editing to the stunts, it all feels extremely professional bar a couple of green-screen moments that don't work so well.

Unfortunately that sheer talent just isn't put to the best use here though as this grimdark, dreary version of Spidey's formative days just doesn't represent Spider-man. Peter Parker's bitter streak in the very early Ditko days is dialed up to a flanderising level which leads Peter to be straight up outright unlikeable and the film takes all of this far more seriously than any audience member is likely to.

Spider-man can feature in dark stories and light stories but this all round just loses the most important aspects of the character and his story.

It does however display some ridiculously good filmmaking potential.
