The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 film)
What is amazing is not Spider-Man but that every generation of kids and young adults need to watch these superheros with their own version of superheros. Hence, even after the last Tobey Maguire version …

This is a movie about family, trust, betrayal and acceptance. And, it is one that's based in Hawaii.   So, for less than $10, one gets to see Hawaii and George Clooney. That's a bargain, …
