I like it for its faithfulness to the source material without looking like that cosplay costume up a few posts. 

Same here. That awesome photoshoot was actually from Entertainment Weekly, if I remember correctly.I need to find that picture I had up, it was from this really cool photoshoot with Tobey.
They're all saved on my old computer. >.<
Keep texture from Webb suit.
Keep colours from Webb suit.
Keep (consistant) web design from Raimi suit, along with the basic layout (including the belt).
Keep how the symbol... urm, meshs(???) in with the webbing like it does in the Webb suit aaaand... I think you'd have a pretty cool looking suit.
I can't believe people are actually complaining that the suit isn't the classic comic book design. Can you imagine this in a summer blockbuster?

I love how cartoony a direct translation of the suit would look.
And the Raimi suit is the one that doesn't look realistic. xD
It did? I could have sworn it did not appear in an even remotely comedic scene, nor were there any kids nearby to say 'Wickeeeeeeeeeeeed!' for relief.
But it's true. The suit is perfect, lol.
Perfect as a straight comic to movie translation. I think Webb's suit brings Spider-Man (and his costume) into our world perfectly.
Don't know about you guys, but to me the suit design looks like it's meant to look very cool especially in motion. So basicly I think that the parkour stuff and other acrobatic motion and all that will compliment the design very well
There's quite a few reasons why.
1. It's completely different to Raimi's suit.
2. It looks cool, yes...that sounds superficial and subjective, but it does look cool to me and most likely will to a very large part of the audience.
3. For teh realism. Sure, you could argue that this suit looks "professional" but things like leaving the shoes of the suit visible and other things seem like something somebody in Peter's position who needed a decent suit fast would do.
As the suit will get damaged to a great extent by the end of the movie, I'm almost positive that Peter will have a more "classic" looking suit with (at the very least) a goddamn belt.
It's as I've said before. If this suit had utilized the traditional design, it'd be my favorite superhero costume ever made. I'll hold out hope for it in the sequel, I guess.
Maybe it's because I just love the Spider-Man costume, and I'm therefore biased, but I don't understand why they felt the need to make these changes. Given the fabrics, colors, and texturing that they've used here, it could have used the classic design and still looked different from the Raimi suits.
