The Amazing Spider-Man Get rid of Tobey?

Should they recast Peter for Spider-Man 4?

  • Yes. He is too old, too fat, and he can't throw a wise crack to save his life.

  • No. Tobey is perfect as Peter.

Do you reckon? Have you seen Keanus *****?

Im getting MIGHTY sick of all this "I hate Tobey" crap. If you think he is sooooo terrible,then dont watch the damn movies with him in them. He might not be "actor of the decade",but as far Im concerned,he has done his job pretty well. He might not be the IDEAL Peter Parker,but I dont really give a flying ****,Ive seen him through 3 movies and I have no complaints with him. The thing I love about Spidey is that you can relate to him. I can relate to both Tobey and comic Spidey,thats what made him a true success.

If you dont think hes worth watching,then dont go and see SM4,simple as that. Tobey looks like he is here to stay,so DEAL with it.
 
I'm not going to say he has nothing to do with why these movies are so popular. But I will say it is very little. If he were the reason these movies are so poular his other movies wouldn't be such big bombs. People would be all "Oh! The new Tobey movie is coming out! We should go see that!" Instead it's more like "Oh look. The guy who plays Spider-Man is in that movie." And then the movie flops.

Pleasantville=flop

The Good German=flop

The Ice Store=flop

S.F.W.=flop

This Boy's Life=flop

Ride with the Devil=flop

Wonder Boys=flop

Brothers=poor opening/possible flop/too soon to tell

My point is Maguire didn't save those movies. He was in it and they did terrible. Because people don't go to see the Spider-Man movies to see him. They go because Spider-Man is the most popular superhero in the world right now.



People want to see Tobey as a superhero . Those movies sound depressing , that's all it is.
 
So just because those movies did bad, means Tobey should be drawn and quarted?
 
Tobey proved he can act in Brothers. Also he was decent in those other films but I haven't seen most of them .

So now we can't talk about it? I like Spidey, I think Tobey is ok. I just think we can have better. So since I'm not a fan of Tobey's that means I can't be a fan of the movies? So it's either shutup and like these movies and Tobey or get out? Sorry, that's not how it works.

:up:

this.
 
DACMAN. All this hate for Tobey is unnecessary. I can see you care for the character of Peter,and you dont think Tobey is good enough. But come on,youre basically bullying him for trivial reasons.

"Hes old, fat and has blue eyes". Thats not fair.

Youre right about other things though. Yeah,he doesnt pull off wisecracks like a pro as in the comics. But Im not really bothered about those things. I would join the hate campaign if I knew he was terrible as you guys put it,but I just dont see it like that. Ive enjoyed HIS interpretation so far.
 
I've actually decided that it is best to keep him around for the next couple of films. Let them finish off this version of Pete and Spidey. I think saving the new actor for the reboot is best. So I'd actually change my vote to keeping him for 4, 5, and 6. Once they finish I think there are alot of actors out there who could do a much better job.
 

Again, I can be a fan of Spidey's without thinking Maguire is the best person for the role. And again I enjoyed the films. I just think they can be better. Peter could be played better.
 
I believe Tobey should stay on as long as Raimi is on helm.

New director, new Spidey
 
I've never been a fan of Tobey. But I think this double chin angle is ridiculous. I don't care how many people support this theory. It's just stupid, and has nothing to do why Tobey isn't the best choice for Peter Parker.
 
Ok. So I know I'm going to get a lot of crap for this but, I've changed my mind. 100% changed my mind. After seeing Tobey on the Tonight Show, he's showed me that he can be Peter Parker as far as his looks and demeanor. I love the 5 O'clock shadow and everything. It really does away with the nerdy, teen, adolescent Peter we've seen for 3 films. If they let him film looking like this I'd be happy. Very happy. Check it out yourselves.

They need to let him grow up. I used to think it was partly Tobey's fault the sophmoric approach they took in all three films. After seeing this I think Tobey could really be a great Peter Parker instead of just an ok one.
 
the guy will be 40 by the time 6 hits cinemas

I'm thinking this will probably be Tobey's last movie. Though I can see it doing really well and them asking him back for 2 more. I think if that happens they'll film 5 and 6 back to back like they planned before.

His acting in the 3 Spider-Man movies didn't convince you he can play Peter Parker, but seeing him on a talk show talking about an unrelated movie does?
No offence, but that is backwards.
 
Yeah. He is this man-child in all three movies. He actually seemed like a man in the interview. Peter wasn't the nerd after he became Spidey. But Raimi kept him the nerd long after.

But I will agree with you, it does seem backwards that he seems more like Peter in an interview than he does in the actual films.

Good for you! :up:
 
Tobey is fantastic, re-cast snaggletooth Dunst, as she shouldn't have been cast in the beginning :down
Deborah Ann Woll FTW!

My thoughts exactly. Tobey's a great choice for Peter. I can't believe we have people nit-picking about such trivial things as his "double-chin"....really? I can understand certain problems some might have with his portrayal of peter, but it astounds me that some people stoop to such a level as to complain about his CHIN.

Hey, I loved him in the first two films. The third one... I don't know what happened. If he can bring his game back in the fourth one, then I'm all for it. But right now, I am not against a recast at all. In fact, I do wish they would have done it.
 
I'm a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal's and he almost got the role . Now that is highly unlikely but i'm not so sure it's Tobey's fault. If the character was less nerdy in the films it would be alot better. I just don't want to cringe anymore.
I saw Spider-man 3 and i was next to a group of bodybuilders with venom shirts and they looked amped . I looked over during the movie and you could see the regret on their faces.
 
I don't want them to get rid of him unless they do a reboot
