Of course it's like the comics a great deal but it is not like the comics enough and that's the whole point. It could have been far more faithful, there was no reason to change it. It's 70 to 80% there but there was a suit that was 90 to 95% there.
I expect people to strive for more accurateness not less. Spider-Man has a certain look and Raimi has proven that you can translate that look almost 100% onto the screen without it looking cheesy or goofy and that's why the new suit's changes to the Spider-Man look are arbitrary. Hell, even Nick Hammonds suit was more accurate than the new one.
