I honestly like Maguire more as Spiderman, because at least Maguire understood that Spiderman isn't supposed to be a long, dark tale - it's lighthearted, and this whole "gritty" feel doesn't work.
Spider-Man has always been a dark tale. This comment is hilarious. I dunno if you're that in love with Raimi's movies or trying too hard to dislike the reboot and coming right in hating it.
Parents died in horrible accident.
Bullied repeatedly in school. Social outcast.
Uncle dies because he failed to stop crook.
Girlfriend and first true love dies because villain found out his secret identity.
City hates him at first.
Raimi's Spider-Man movies were about just that, Spider-Man. The Parker scenes were just there to keep the CGI budget from getting TOO outrageous. They sped through everything Parker related unless it directly interfered with him being Spider-Man.

According to people who attended the event in New York and LA and the footage shown, Andrew throws out quips left and right on thugs he fights. Yes, yes, yes. Must see this footage.
