For starters, I feel Andrew Garfield' does look more like Peter Parker than Tobey Maguire. Additionally, I think his physical appearance fits better Spider-Man. As Spider-Man, he perfectly portrays the character. The new movies' effects helped capture better his fighting style, and the presence of his sense of humor during his battles was one of the best things from his portrayal.

As Peter Parker, he was a good representation of today's "nerds." He was shy, he was smart, but he wasn't akward, unlike Maguire. One of the things I didn't like abut Maguire's Peter Parker was the amount of second hand embarassment you could get from him. Garfield's Peter Parker was stil an outcast, but in the sense of being in his own world, not because he was the cringeworthy-type of nerd Maguire's was. ADour wrote: Gwen Stacy was such an improvement over Mary Jane Watson as a love interest. Not only she had actual chemistry with Peter Parker, but she was useful for the story beyond being "the girl." Both very true.
