Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

Tobey for me, he was adorable, and played the dork part great. I guess Andrew did a pretty great job to but in end I felt like I could relate to Tobey a lot more.
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

Tobey Maguire was way better. I agree with what the guy above me said. You can relate to him more and you feel for him when he goes through all the b.s. he has to deal with.
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

Tobey had the right personality and you cared about him, but to me he never had the right look. He was too bulky.

Andrew has the right look and he looks amazing in the suit, he is funny too, but I don't buy him as a nerd.


If only Leo had the role in the first place....'

WTF, Maguire and Garfield aren't my PP, his name is Charlie. That's disgusting.
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

I realize that it's more to do with the scripting and not so much the Actor's delivery but Garfield's Spidey just comes across as kind of a jerk, not a quick-witted "friendly" Spidey.

It blew me away to see Tobey take up the mantle the first time and he'll always be the first person I think of when you mention a Spider-Man movie. It's too bad he never got to make a 3rd movie (I'm still in denial about SM3 ever actually happening).
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

Tobey, hands down. You couldn't ask for a better, real life representation of Spiderman.

As far as I am concerned, Andrew Garfield is portraying some parallel universe version of Spiderman.
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

I have to go with Andrew Garfield. I liked his wit and I think his personality and acting style mirrored Peter Parker much more than Tobey. Not saying that Tobey did a bad job, he did a GREAT job, just not better than Garfield. Plus, Tobey's monotone voice bugs me at times. Whenever I think of Tobey, I think of his meek, monotone voice and how I struggle to believe his acting at times.

I also like that Amazing Spidey focuses on Spidey's high school days as opposed to Raimi's Spider-man that basically skips to college soon after he becomes Spider-man.

If you ever read Ultimate Spider-man, you'll instantly be able to see how Garfield is an almost exact mirror of that version of Spider-man.
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

I've never read Ultimate Spider-Man, but am very familiar with classic Silver Age Spider-Man, and from that perspective Maguire is easily more comic accurate. Garfield's Parker was pretty good for what he was, but being a classic comic fan I didn't see much of the Parker that I knew and enjoyed reading about in his performance.
 
Re: Tobey Maguire VS Andrew Garfield

So far ... Maguire. Could change later on.

I preferred the second movie although I think Garfield makes a better Spidey.
