I was able to watch about 40 minutes of the movie, "The Amazing Spiderman", before I became insulted, nauseaous and thoroughly disgusted.
The plot centers around a scientist with one arm, who desperately wants the chemical formula to regrow his absent am. He looks longingly in the mirror, shows grief at being one-limbed and gazes lovingly at the reflection f his arm so it appears he has two.
I am beyond infuriated that a movie character is being portrayed as not whole just because he has a missing limb. For all those who are born differently limbed, my nine year-old son included, ths movie does a great disservice and further stigmatizes the differently abled.
Then, of course, the scientist discovers the formula to regrow limbs, injects himself, regrows his arm and becomes a nemesis, the bad guy, a monster.
What a bunch of crap!
There are so few public references to the differently limbed and this one was a box office bonanza that slanders and categorizes the limb different as not fully whole and willing to do whatever it takes to get that missing limb.
Hogwash and boulder dash. What a load of garbage!
