Share your views. Was he accurate? What parts did he take? Was changing the character to fit high school student in more recent years good? Is Spider-Man too standard for an updated take? Or is their an updated take cartoons succeeded at displaying, and this film failed at doing so? Any further comments?
I thought he was actually pretty close to the comics more so than Toby Maguire, Garfield managed to show Peters humor and personality a lot more than Toby ever did.
He was fantastic as both, but I also think a couple of writing choices perhaps distracted from his ability to nail the character. Lots of overly-emotional scenes, and not enough reinforcement of Peter's honesty and conviction. He needed to develop into a more classic hero, but we won't get to see that happen now... Too bad.
