Hot Toys - MMS179 - The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Man

I like the suit just fine. never said a bad thing about it.

I just didn't like that they changed it for the wrong reasons and that they used raised webbing ala Raimi

If you have a Toby head, you should put that on for now.

Noooooooo.
Toby was never Spider-Man for me. It would look odd on this anyway, it's the new slim skinny TT with extended leg pegs, too gangly for Maguire.

I feel exactly the same way about it.

Don't like how is resembles raimi either but that's what those fools complained for and now they got it sooooo

^ Exactly why people hated him as Spider Man

OOOPs!

While I didn't LOVE him as Spidey / Parker, I clearly didn't dislike him as much as you did.

 

[BeatleJohn]

There you go......

hahahaa I actually laughed out loud for this pic nice one!

I was thinking of doing the same kind of thing but on the actual spidey figure. Have him dressed like this but with the suit underneath just for a different look but im not sure if the boots can be taken off on the spidey figure

Anyway cant do anything till we actually get a figure! Im actually thinking of skipping this and waiting for the next one

I wish I could go back to 2002-2004 and see how all the Maguire Peter Parker Spider-Man haters really felt back then as opposed to now.

I agree. Like I said, I didn't love him, but I didn't mind him either. I and 2 were WAY better than 3. I'm guessing 3 made people really dislike him. He was a bit of an a hole in it at times.

 

[Russell1982]

I remember when the first movie came out I thought it was great. Probably just because it was the first time seeing spiderman in a big budget Hollywood movie. But by the time spiderman 2 came out the novelty had already worn off and I'd lost interest. Took me ages to finally watch it, and actually got bored throughout it. Couldn't get into any of the original films. So was really hoping ASM would be better. Luckily I really enjoyed it, felt like a spiderman movie I'd always wanted to see.

I agree, but it makes me a bit sad. Not to sound like a stuck up film snob (I'm not), but a lot of casual movie goers don't realize that an actor's job is to basically be a puppet; they do what they are told. Sometimes, they've got enough clout, or the powers that be just plain like them enough, to make big suggestions and changes and such. But I just really doubt that it was Tobey that made Spider-Man 3 suck. Not that that's what you're saying.

My mother in law, for example, HATES Tobey Maguire now. Why? The dancing down the street scene in Spider-Man 3. I always try to tell her that it most likely wasn't Tobey's decision, and she shouldn't HATE the guy over it. But she doesn't listen. It's just because, with movies, we don't see the directors, writers, producers, studio executives, etc. We just see the actors, who are sometimes the people with the least amount of say on set, and so it's easy to put all the blame on them.

With all this said, I really didn't like Tobey as Peter/Spider-Man. I was about 11 when the first film came out, and I hadn't read Spider-Man comics prior. So I actually loved him as Spidey in numbers 1 and 2, because that's all I knew. Now, I'm a pretty big Spider-Man fan and I feel like Tobey was a total and complete miscast. He ain't no Spidey.

Whilst in essence, I agree with you, Only Maguire can be blamed for doing it as bloody awfully as he did. He was terrible! And, let's be honest, who actually could like this...

?

 

[Mix Master]

lots of parts in SM3 were cringe worthy, but man i remember alfred molinas performance in Spider man 2, amazing!

Wait till the next Spidey reboot and you will see everyone hating scrawny Twilight haired Garfield and loving the new guy.

Well, I can only speak for myself. Life long Spidey fan, he was THE comic book hero for me growing up. And I ALWAYS hated Maguire in the role.
Too stiff, soft and old for my liking. Spidey should be a smart assed kid, turned into a flawed fighter IMO. So far Garfield has been doing great, far better than Toby ever was, but who knows? that promise could go downhill in parts 2&3.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Tobey was fine imo.

the difference is like night and day. one is based on the 60's Peter and the other is a more modern adaption.

I appreciate both, but since i'm not a kid of the 60's i prefer Garfield

 

[John_Salmon]

I prefer Maguire by a hundred million percent.

Spiderman is up there at the top of my favourite comic character list, and I was about 15/16 when the first film came out and I loved it, even the scene that picture is from.

Yeah, Spiderman 3 was pretty pish, but then that's down to horrendous writing, not Tobey Maguire. Spiderman 2 has been on Sky recently and I've watched it a couple of times, it was pretty damn good too.

The Amazing Spider-man is a terrible film. It hasn't learnt anything from the Raimi trilogy, just carries on making the same mistakes, and even throws in some new ones just for good measure. One thing I hate about comic book movies is change for changes sake. If it adds to the plot or helps drive the story on then, yeah, I get it and welcome it. What the original trilogy and ASM did was basically change things for the sake of it that made no real impact on anything. It was basically the equivalent of taking a sideways step.

Point is, the original trilogy had its flaws (probably epitomised by that horrible street dancing scene in 3) but I would rather watch Spider-man 3 all day than the abomination that is The Amazing Spider-man.

Having said that, this figure does look pretty cool. I already have a spiderman though, so I doubt I'll get it unless it's on sale or something.

I never liked Tobey as I find Andrew to play the "likeable nerd" role better than Tobey did. It is not to say I did not like Tobey as an actor, just did not like him as Spider-Man because he didn't feel much like Peter to me than Andrew did
