[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 1638358, member: 143"] I thought they were making the point that his loss of his powers was psycho-somatic, due to his feelings of doubt and lack of commitment to being Spiderman. I had thought that it was due to his abuse of his body (lack of sleep, stress, poor food, etc), but the doctor scene really presented the idea that it was all in his head. I really enjoyed the movie, but here's my nits: 1) The doctor scene. I was of the impression that a 5 second examination from any medical professional would reveal that there was something "up" with him. How could a doctor miss all of the effects of his genetic mutation? 2) The car-through-the-cafe-window scene. Given that: a) Ock doesn't know he's Spiderman, and b) The car would have crushed him if he had NOT been Spiderman, and c) Ock wants to interrogate Peter; How can this scene make sense? Also, at the end of that scene he throws Peter against the wall with enough force to shatter brick. This would have killed a non-Spiderman Peter Parker. 3) Fusion experiment. Okay, we're going to do this great unheralded experiment in fusion power. If something goes wrong, BOOM. So where should we do the test... Oh, I know! How about downtown Manhattan! [/QUOTE]
