This movie's shaping up wel - the tone, the webshooters, the spot on cast (who better to play uncle Ben than Martin Sheen?)
The only thing I prefer about the Raimi version is the suit. They managed to make the suit a spitting image of the comics and look badass. It just seems like the only reason they've changed the suit is because they had to in order to distinguish themselves from Raimi's films. The new suit's not bad, just unnecessarily differnt.

I'm officially sold on this guy now. He spoke with such passion, and anyone who feels that strongly about the webslinger definitely gets my vote. He was born to play the complex role of Peter Parker.

Exactly what @FriendlyNeighbourhoodJoSh said....I wish the other Spider-Man films had never came out so I could enjoy this new one that much more.I really think this will be the Spider-Man film we should've had in the 1st place,Andrew's a great young actor and embodies Peter..looking forward to it

Don't let us down Andrew, its all in your hands.

The dude is clearly a true fan...and honestly as much I thought Tobey was decent anyone who thinks he's the be all and end all of Spider-Man has clearly never picked up a Spider-Man comic, I'm looking at you here KEAHI...because seriously the guy hasn't really proven himself as an actor outside one movie being Brothers whereas Garfield has done far more impressive work in his shorter career. Garfield's going to be awesome. [frick] the haters.

I was there. Andrew seemed to be junked by the roll , like he is actually honored to play the part and do it justice for us fans. I have a new respect for this kid. he will own this part.

Seriously, I hate when people mock his hair, or how he dresses.What is this seventeen magazine? Are you 11tjh grade girls? Who cares how he dresses or what his hair looks like? Secondly, his hair looks exactly like Peter Parker's hair from the comic, so maybe you should read the source a little more before bitching..

Spidey91 - 7/22/2011, 8:54 PM
*clap clap clap* I was already sold 100% on this guy,now I'm 10000% sold.
I can tell he is really honest,he is really a true fan and he couldn't be more excited for this role
Obama ain't got sh*t on Andrew when it comes to speeches :P

Garfeild, you are awsome. But still don't mean much now, after all the Marvel fanboys talkin big talk about Cap America, it's apparently not as big as it is hyped, gotten alot of that from the movies this year so im not to giddy about the Spider-man movie, could end up being another "meh" movie. Still, here's to hoping it won't cuz passion like that is one in a million in Hollywood.

Spidey is and always will be my favorite superhero and I'll always love him, because I can relate to Spidey. I wish I could play Spider-Man but I'm black so thats a big NO on the forehead but Nicholas Hammond, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are great enough as are

For all the shit people give him, he really does care a lot about the character of peter parker. He's not one of these actors that gets 1 or 2 comics given to them, he knows his shit.

Everything except the 'Spidey standing next to him' part would indicate he Is the guy to play Peter Parker
Hope his passion for the role isn't misused

Ranger14 - 7/22/2011, 9:29 PM
Umm...Was he reading from a written speech? That loses some credibility and believability points with me. You can make anything sound good if you write it keeping in mind what people want to hear. Speaking off the cuff is where you get the true sense of where someone is coming from.
