It really is an insult to the comics that they would have Peter date Gwen. They would never allow that to happen in the comics. Comic Peter Parker would never date an attractive girl.

Do most of the people who like this movie hate the character of Spider-Man?
This was terrible. What was up with the music? Piano banging horror chords when the handicap-drug-using-doctor-CGI-Gone-Bad thing was looking Gwen was crazy. That was not close to representing the Lizard from the comics. It looked liked the bad guys from that equally awful Mario Bros. movie.
Peter Parker is a nerd. Spider-Man is cool. Peter Parker also does not get girls so easily. Gwen is hot. Girls like Gwen date football-playing-bully-types, not the yearbook photographer. The police captain's daughter is looking for a rebel, not a kid that gets beat up. Doesn't he work for a newspaper? Can he at least work for the friggin school paper? The yearbook does not lead to journalism.
How convenient that his name was on the back of the camera. How lazy are these writers? What nonsense.
I cannot get over the praise you supposedly comic-lovers have put on this film. You are probably the same people who love Superman Returns. I hope everyone involved in this film has the same luck as the crew who made Poltergeist or the cast of Different Strokes. What a load of crap!
End rant! But I'm still mad this got made. This better be the one and only. This sucks so bad.
End rant now!
But seriously. This was just plain bad.
.............. Shut up.

I agree with the Goomba fella.
Lizard's face was horrid. And i did laugh because I instantly thought of the goomba too! Except, it was more of a sad goomba than happy goomba!
Otherwise, I think they underused Connors. He couldve been a real surrogate father of Peter; Both in Science and working with his Father.
But the douchebags criticisms;
Glen fell for peter because.... well she is a geek too, but a pretty geek. Some girls prefer the mind and decent looks than looking stunning but thick as pig sheite. Just refer to when Flash was beating Parker up for not taking a picture. She stopped it by saying she was extremely disapointed with his results and theres alot of work to do. Implicating he is not only thick, but she likes someone with intelligence.
Peters name on the back of the camera? Blatantly. Its the one he uses in high school. its going to have his name on because A) He is the school photographer, B) If it gets stolen its easily identifiable when bullies steal it.
'Doesnt he work for the newspaper? Or at least the high school newspaper'
Well done captain stupid, clearly not watched the film! Now, lets educate you! Peter is the high school photogropher hence why he takes the pictures of the debate club. Also, when the girl at the start asks him to take pictures of her boyfriends car. He is renouned to be the school photographer. Doesnt have to be for the school paper as we are on a technological age, so its probably a website.
Secondly, yes. He works for the Daily Bugle. Now, if you would cast your mind back in the film, there is a shot after the bridge incident of The Daily Bugle asking for pictures of spiderman or this lizard creature. Now, its safe to summise with a small amount of intelligence, that this is setting up Peter to go freelance and take pictures of himself around the city so he can make money. Cant remember what the paper said but im sure it said photos for cash.
Now, combine that with the fact Peter webbed the Camera in the sewers to take pictures everytime a certain web was pulled, this ties it up rather well; Peter is starting to take pictures of himself so he can sell them to the Bugle as a job, as income, setting up the introduction of Jameson and his freelance photography for the next film.
Peter left school and went into freelance photography. Peter is still IN school so he wouldnt work for the Bugle yet. See you may be used to Raimi's lets throw everything into the first film; Goblin, Connors, harry, MJ, JJ, Robbie, becoming spiderman, taking pictures. They about put everything into the first film. Then in the second film there wasnt much about his photography.
ASM is building to that. Its set the foundations of peters murdered parents, the muder of Ben parker, becoming spiderman, its set up his future freelance career. Its not put everything into one film. Its building it up and taking its time to flesh the story out over 3 films at least. Not rushing to put everything into one film so they can gradually kill off Goblin then Doc Ock, and then murder venom and eddie brock.
Im sorry that you have to have everything spelt out for you and not require any thinking about the multiple nods to various little things for the future films.

So...somewhat random and off topic...but I'm watching the original "Psycho" and goodness...Andrew Garfield must have studied Anthony Perkins' (Norman Bates in psycho) acting or something. The parallels between the two are uncanny. Not only do they resemble each other slightly, but their mannerisms are so close it's creepy. The way Perkins sometimes stutter speaks, shakes his head, smiles. It's very interesting.
Check out this clip if you feel so inclined...see if you notice what I'm talking about.

This movie is so bad I had to do some research on it. Turns out is was rushed out so Sony Picures could keep the rights to Spider-Man.
This is the end of the discussion.
Spider-Man was made just to beat some contract deadline.

Update....
Sony was actually trying to make this into a new Twilight.
Go TEAM PETER!
Don't let them fool you. You are smarter than this film!

Thats odd. I generally only waste time and energy on something that I really like. Don't feel bad, you'll fit in nicely here, theres plenty of posters that have so little in their lives that they come here and post all day long and rip on other people and post repeatedly in threads they claim they don't like the subect or claim to be uninterested in.
