10zenmonkeys.com— When Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider, he learned that with great power comes great responsibility. But I don’t think he ever expected…toothbrushes.

I don't get why so many people seem to thing Tobey Mcguire isn't a very good Peter Parker. I have been reading Spidey comics since the 70's and collected and read ALOT of the comics from the 60's. In my mind, he plays the role almost perfectly - nerdy, unsure of himself, YOUNG, a little jaded and yet naive at the same time... all things that Peter Parker was in the comics. He WAS a high school student when he became Spider Man, the Saved By The Bell: Spidey's college years didn't really start till much later when he was more established. I loved the movies, on the whole they stay true to the comic roots while adding a few new things that made more sense, like the organic web shooters. Spider Man rocks, and the movies are perfect examples of comic book movies done right.
To w33tz - Not to get into a comic fanboy argument, but Spidey could kick Batman's ass all over Gotham, for a few simple reasons - Spidey has super strength, and spider sense. Batman wouldn't be able to throw anything at him that Spidey wouldn't see coming. A little webbing to the face and Batman would be done.
Where's the Spidersapien? Hulk or The Thing I could understand, but Spiderman doesn't translate well to a bulky, slow moving robot, that can't even pick itself up.
In the UK we have an advert for processed ham (Bernard Matthews) with Spiderman III packaging, it was only a few months ago that this company had an outbreak of bird flu at one of there battery places, the things they do to gloss over a massive lack of ethics.
