I mean, sure Sam Raimi never gave Peter the ability to actually create his own webs, but that was the only BIG mistake he did with the Peter Parker character. Instead, Marc Webb comes in and then all of a sudden Peter Parker sports Nikes, he's a skater, he's disrespectful to his aunt and uncle, he gets into places he shouldn't be (anybody would have thought Peter was trying to steal something from Oscorp when he sneaked there), his favorite store is Forever 21, he listens to the Ramones (a great band by the way), I could go on and on. You see, that guy is not Peter Parker. That guy is not the mainstream Peter Parker nor the Ultimate Peter Parker nor any Peter Parker at all. That's what bugs me a little. Sure, he created his own webs... what about the rest? He's not the "nerd" Parker. He's just the loner Parker (and what a loner he is, a month after meeting Gwen she's already his girlfriend, AND he revealed his secret to her, I mean, he didn't even know her that well. At least in Ultimate Spider-Man Peter and Mary Jane actually knew each other). ANYWAY, Garfield's performance is great, it's not his fault that his Peter is a little too different from the real Peter Parker (you know, the comics Peter Parker, Earth-616, that one).
