I enjoyed it for the most part, I feel like the film should've been 45min-1hrs shorter, there's too much screen time for so little to tell. The action pieces and swinging were very good, it's pretty impressive in the fan-film club outside Bat in the Sun. The costumes were excellent, comic-accurate live-action Gwen Stacy was very refreshing, the Spidey suit was gorgeous, but I'm a little unsatisfied by Gobin's inexpressive mask, they should've played it more mysterious with the character, sometimes less is more. The cinematography was quite frankly disappointing, I disliked the lightening in most of dialogue scenes, it felt too "amateurish". The omnipresent emotional piano notes also took me off a few times. But overall, despite its flaws, Lotus is among the best fan films out there.
Just for fun my top 5 CBM fan films:
1. Batman: Ashes to Ashes
2. Punisher: Dirty Laundry
3. Truth in Journalism (an Eddy Brock story inspired (or not?) by Man Bites Dog)
4. Batman: Dead End
5. Batman: Dying is Easy
