Reasonable view of this story.
He was a great choice, his American accent is fine.Andrew Garfield was the wrong choice. His American accent does not work.
In hindsight, it should’ve gone to Donald Glover.
I did not think of it that way cause I keep forgetting dialogue from The Phantom Menace. I keep associating I want you to promise me one thing: Keep Gwen out of this" with "Protect Gwen" from Amazing Spider-Man 90.Anyone think dying Captain Stacy making Peter make him a promise was a little inspired by Qui-Gon doing so to Obi-Wan in TPM?
- Eventually, a big, green, mutated monster attacks Peter's high school in the middle of the day.
Peter confides in his academically-gifted love interest that he is Spider-Man, often going to her for help. He breaks up with her to keep her safe, but eventually gets back together with her because he loves her too much to not be with her.

Like everything, people will see what they want to see. The debates between which of the two was better were very intense when The Amazing Spider-Man came out. Supporting either of the two actors became like rival sports teams, it just got ridiculously personal on these boards.One criticism that I think is unfair, why was Peter considered a perv for having Gwen's picture on his computer but Maguire Peter wasn't for having Mary Jane's picture on his mirror?
I always loved Garfield as Peter so I do wish he had gotten at least 1 more film and I think he's a great blend between Tobey and Tom.
One aspect Marc Webb set out, which I think he succeeded was that on the first film he created a universe that could have stories he wanted to tell but also anticipate future storylines.
Like there was the parents plot etc, but there was world building in the background with Osborn teases, Daily Bugle etc.
What your saying is coming across as contradictory to me. Your criticism is essentially that's its too different... but also too similar.I actually felt kind of cheated that the movie didn't have Jameson and/or Osborn, likewise that from the same era Man of Steel didn't have any Lex Luthor. And it felt odd and annoying that the movie's Curt Connors pretty much was Norman Osborn Green Goblin (especially as in '02 film and Ultimate) except in name.

First, I get it, this wasn't a super popular take on Spider-Man, but Andrew Garfield was GREAT as Spider-Man IMO (and his accent was pretty good, I didn't realize until later on when I saw an interview with him speaking his native accent that he wasn't American) and he's still my favorite live action Spider-Man actor... And Donald Glover is awful, he's just not a good actor outside of comedy, and he's only mediocre in that genre.
Amazing Spider-Man 1 is still my favorite Spider-Man movie, it's just a shame they screwed up the sequel so badly.
