Spidey 1 and 2 can not and will not be beat.
But Andrew Garfield is the future...dah few-chah. So good in Boy A, Never Let Me Go and Social Network. He'll rip Peter Parker up easily.
Oh and he can sing the bed intruder song

Ouch. And kinda accurate.WrikaWrek said:
The cast assembled for this is very good though, so there is some hope. When is there going to be a teaser or anything? Or pics of the Spider Man costume itself?

I really have no faith in Marc Webb at all. I only like this based on casting. The cast of this obliterates the Raimi films (except for villains, you can't fuck with Dafoe or the guy from Frida)

Rhys Ifans could be really great with this role. He narrated Exit Through the Gift Shop and was in Deathly Hallows Part 1. Really great actor, he's one of the things I'm definitely excited about for Spider-man.

You mean you aren't impressed by the director of a Jesse McCartney music video?kamspy said:

I read many places it is the Lizard as well. Ifans is awesome, and the Spidey movies have always been good in their villain casting.Blader5489 said:
It is a shame they never got to use Dylan Baker for that like they were setting him up for with the first films.
"Hey Dylan, wanna play The Lizard in my new Spider-Man movie?"
"Hell yeah! So you want me to get in shape or anything?"
"Nah. For this first movie, you're going to play Peter Parker's professor which will setup your turn for the future."
"....alright, no problem!"
2 years later
"Hey Dylan, guess what? We're making Spider-Man 2! Get ready!"
"Fuck yeah!! I'm all set, I've had a personal trainer booked for months!"
"...uh, I'm really sorry dude. I told Sony I really wanted you to play the villain, but they wanted a bigger villain. But you are in the movie again! This will just strengthen your character even more for your villainous turn!"
"I completely understand, man. Damn studios, am I right?!"
2 years later
"Dylan my man! We're coming back for Spider-Man 3! Everyone is signed on, we're ready to go!"
"....I'm not The Lizard, am I?"
"You know how it is, the studio! They wanted something bigger, I had no control over this! I promise you, I PROMISE you that next time it will be you and you alone!"
2 years later
"Alright let's do this!"
"I quit yesterday"
"I fucking hate you."

Funny enough, Dylan Baker was not in Spider Man 1. His character was only mentioned.

Agreed 100x. Nothing against Cera, but he was so woefully miscast in that role it killed the movie for me. Would have actually been one of my favorites with anyone else.
I feel the same here. I like Garfield in other roles, but this is no Parker. if I can't buy into the protagonist, I can't get invested in the film.

First still there does remind me of Parker. Not so much the others. I cant really place my finger on what it is exactly that is putting off about it. But the first one there the hair does look a lil more under control.

Could be good.
Happy they're not pursuing the classic look for Parker. Raimi's Spidey had it and I thought they were pretty bad so visual accuracy means nothing.
Also, I really hated the fact that Raimi's vision of Spider-Man was a soap opera. His own words. Blargh.

Maguire was a great Spidey (he may not have been the comic Spidey, but for the character that was written in the script, he was fucking perfect), but I'm interested to see Garfield's take on the character. Emma Stone looks great as Gwen. Any word on Harry Osbourne being there or not?

The hair is a bit puffy in a "how does that fit in the mask" way, but whatever. I'm excited to see how this turns out.
fingerless gloves are a nice touch considering he might need to grip/climb stuff...you know, because he's spider-man.
and I like that he looks poor-ish. fuck getting a car to impress some chick from next door; this spider-man looks financially strung out.

I think Garfield looks great
I'm more concerned with why exactly did they go with Marc Webb for directing? I mean, he's only done 500 days of summer right? Pretty good film sure but just figured there was something else to him for getting picked for such a high profile gig.

thin gloves? I don't know how they're explaining the powers this time, but if it's like the first set of movies, he has things that comes out of his finger tips. Gloves like that are pretty thick and he'd be screwed if he was attacked by, I dunno, the green goblin after he tracked peter to catch him at his most vulnerable.

He's directed major music videos for 12 years. It's not like he's some kid fresh out of filmschool who has only directed one thing.

The boots and pants are killing me. Peter is a geek. Not just a normal one either; he is into physics and math.

Yeah, say what you will about Tobey, but he sure as hell looked Geeky enough to be Peter.

He looks good, but a little too 'hipster'.
It's the jeans! Up top he's fine but why not just put him in regular jeans instead of those skinny things?
Those shoes are horrendous too.
When I'm watching it I prob won't give a fuck though, just being nit picky, and Gwen looks hot (but not as hot as Gwen from Spider-Man 3).

''Yeah, Parker's a reject, an outcast. People make fun of him!''
:: looks at people mocking his looks in this thread ::
Yup, that's about right.

What wrong reasons? His hair is unattended for? He wears skinny jeans? He wears two different colors of shoe laces?
These critics are only based on appearances, without a hint of his personality or actual dialogue. So yes, most people here are just judging Parker's appearance without any context to his actual character in the movie.
