You get to see things that are impossible in real life. If that's not your cup of tea, so be it, we each have our own tastes.

First, he doesn't get hit by a train. He stands in front of a runaway train and stops it. The runaway train is a superhero staple, and I was delighted that they put it in there. But he's no longer a normal human. He has super strength, speed and endurance. In the comics, he can press 10-12 tons, making him about 200 times as strong as he was, and we can assume that his resistance to injury is about the same.

And he never gets by without a scratch. He's badly injured by both the fall and the train, and gets injured in his battles with Doc Ock.

If you cannot accept the concept of the superhero in the first place, that's cool, but the execution here (with some nitpicks) is first rate within that genre.
