I strongly agree with what you are saying. I apologize if I tried to offend your theme in any way, it wasn't meant to be taken that way. I'm only stating that Andrew Garfield played a better Peter Parker than Maguire. Tobey had the better costume, but what good is a costume if the character wearing the costume is terrible. Its like the speculation of Ben Affleck on how his portrayal of Bruce Wayne is going to be, even though no one talks about the suit because the suit is perfect in itself. But enough about that. I grew up with the comics, I watched the 90s cartoon, and went to theaters to watch all 3 Raimi films. TASM had better plot-wise in terms of focusing on Peter's high school life more and being straight with the comic plot. Starting with Gwen instead of MJ was the icing on the cake.
Have you seen the trailer for TASM2? Looking good so far with Jaime Fox playing Electro. xD
