[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 299307, member: 23"] Having finally seen the first Andrew Garfield film I've now got a feel for the three main film actors. I thought Tobey Maguire made a good Spider-Man. Possibly the best of the three. But since I never really bought him as Peter Parker - the man behind the mask - it made the whole thing fall flat. I saw the first Tom Holland Spider-Man film and have forgotten most of it so he didn't make much of an impression. Mostly I found his babbling enthusiasm incredibly annoying. I appreciate this is the point of the portrayal, but that was small comfort. If the clothes maketh the man, the MCU Spider-Man has the perfect mask and the best suit. If only they'd been faithful to the original costume design instead of becoming too concerned with all the Stark bells and whistles, the additional detailing and the silly blinking eyes. Overall I'd go with Garfield. Certainly aesthetically. He's always looked the most right to me as Peter Parker, and he looked good in the suit (though I disliked the ASM costume with its go-faster stripes and missing belt area). Even he wasn't without his flaws though. I liked his cockiness as Spidey, but felt there was a bit too much of that going on far too soon as Peter Parker who needs to be a more placid character (the smart mouth is part of the "act" of being Spidey, done to compensate for his naturally introverted personality). I think ideally I'd have Garfield in Holland's suit starring in Maguire's original trilogy. [/QUOTE]
