Was watching number two on tv last night and got me thinking who do you think is the best spidey?

I tend to go with Garfield he reminds me on the old animated series.
 
Andrew Garfield, but I still like Tobey Maguire.
 
I'll take Tobey over Garfield ANY day...
 
I think Andrew is the more likable Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
 
When I see Maguire I don't see Peter Parker, I see Tobey Maguire the famous actor pretending to be a dopey cornball.

I find this to be an insult to geeks and nerds everywhere.

Andrew Garfield blends into the role better and brings a respectable wit and liveliness to the character of Peter Parker.

After hearing Tobey in the games, I'm definitely voting Tobey Maguire
He came first, and said he performed stunts himself
 
I like toby but Garfield is better was made to play peter. I would say Garfield is probly the second bester ever to play a super hero behide only RDJ
 
Andrew does his own stunts, too (when it's physically possible for him to do so).
 
They're both nerds. NEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

I will always be impressed with how ripped Tobey got for the role. It was absolutely incredible. Until that famous scene in SM1, I didn't know abs could actually look like that :S

I didn't like his Peter Parker. I found him to be quite dull - he had some good lines though, but I never felt any weight behind them - "sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most."

Garfield adds a depth to his role that Tobey didn't. But I'll never forget Tobey - he was the first, just not the best.

Maguire. He had a lot more depth and nuance, and frankly he was much more likeable as Peter. Garfield's Peter comes off as unpleasant, cocky, arrogant.

Toby is the best by a long way.
 
I can ignore how each character was written in the movies
Tobey is more fitting as both Peter and as Spider-Man
 
I'll take Shy, Nerdy Maguire over Hipster Garfield's Parker any day of the week.
 
I would say Garfield but I'm afraid Tobey might start crying again. :o

And why no poll?
 
like both but I like Garfield more and what makes Garfield a hipster lol

Naunce?

Depth?

Is there a director's cut I don't know about?

Maguire had a bewildered, deer-in-the-headlights expression the entire trilogy when he wasn't crying.

I'll take the Peter Parker with an actual personality over Raimi's zombie dork.
