    This movie definitely now has bragging rights as being not only the biggest film during the pandemic, but the second biggest thing of all time. That’s an amazing feat for the amazing Spider-Man.

    There are many people who believe that seen this movie in the theater is not just seeing a film, but going through an experience. There was so much emotional fandom taking place during the movie it was impossible not to get taken away down the path of applause, cries, and joy.
