Yes, I know it's a comic book, but some of the plot details don't make much sense. If Dr. Octavius could invent artificial limbs that connected to his nervous system that would be a major scientific accomplishment in its own right and would make him and Oscorp billions by helping the paralyzed. Here's it's presented as an afterthought. And why he has to wear the artificial limbs to perform the experiment instead of using some kind of robot defies explanation. And then that everyone would stand around in a room where a highly dangerous experiment was taking place! But okay, it's only a movie, only a comic book.

The Winning Season
(2004 TV Movie)
What a waste
7 April 2004
The premise of the film was promising and the performances were engaging, but the script was a confusing mess. A baseball card makes the main character travel back in time - okay, we'll go with it - but why does the character also become older? There is no reason for this except for the fact that he has to impersonate Honus Wagner on the field late in the film, which is totally unbelievable whatever his age.
Then at the end the card lets an old woman return to be with Wagner, her one true love. Is she travelling back in time or merely joining him in some spiritual ghost world? By that time it's hard to care.

Miracle

No Miracle needed

What's great about this film is that it shows that the victory in 1980 was not a "miracle," but the result of an excuciating training regimen, in other words: good old-fashioned hard work. That's what the U.S.A. is supposed to be about.
