The fact that he's taken a brief moment to find a hat to go with the hosepipe makes me hopeful that he'll be a bit less emo and a bit more Spidey this time around.

He was very minimally emo the first time around due to the movie trying not to be Tobey Macquire's Spider-Man.

Are you kidding me, the cinematography and script were a lot more angsty than the occasional melodramatic outbursts in the raimi films. I expected the screen to fade to black and white and rain to start pouring half the time Peter was onscreen.

The only thing I remember from any of Raimi's movies is Maguires stupid "making GBS threads his pants while crying" face in all of them. 3 was the worst offender, but 2 had a ton of this as well, and 1 had quite a bit. The only time I didn't find Peter "emo" in Raimi's was when he was wearing the black suit and acting like a total dick and actually being you know...happy and fulfilled, going after things that he wanted. In ASM other than his angst over his uncle and parents Peter seems like a much happier, much more well balanced person than Raimi's weird, creepy stalker Peter who looked like Andy Samberg in the "jizz in my pants" video as he cried for several hours straight (hyperbole).

It should have seemed hokey (and hell, maybe it did to everybody else) but for me, the scene in Spider-Man 2 where Spidey stops the runaway train with his webs and passes out, and is slowly passed over the heads of the passengers who lay him down to check on him is a really sweet moment that feels just right for the character.

I agree. It helps that Doc Ock immediately gives no fucks and justs pushes the whole crowd out of the way when they try to protect him.

It's called a character arc you idiot. When Captain Stacy says he knows Spider-Man is looking for someone, that he has a type, Peter starts to change.

My favorite moment in all four movies is still when Spider-Man caught Aunt May after she fell off the wall in 2. The score was absolutely triumphant, the way it was shot captured the sense of his movement and speed perfectly while keeping the perspective and height in frame and he was animated perfectly.

How do I...how do I "Like" a post here? I got a three hour rant about how terrible, broad, and schticky those movies were, there's not a single human-like interaction in any of those movies and, combined, they are worse than Batman and Robin. They did do that whole "home town hero" thing that had the crowds loving Spider-Man and defending him, but they even did that too broad. No. No. Just terrible movies from top to bottom from the second most over-rated director ever.
I haven't even seen ASM because the weird thing Garfield does with his head with every line he has and the way he narrates his every move makes me want to break my TV.

Yeah, that was a great little moment after rolling my eyes at the similar Green Goblin scene in the first movie when they start throwing bottles and bricks and stuff at him and shouting,"THIS IS NEW YOIK YOU MESS WIF ONE OF US YOU MESS WIF ALL OF US!" at him. I thought them bringing Spidey in and trying to protect him feel really genuine, but they didn't magically make Doc Ock back off, he just slammed them out of the way because come on, he's got giant metal telepathic tentacles!

That was what made the scene work. It was a terribly hackneyed, cliched scene, straight out of the average mid-80s Teen Action Movie... and then Doc Ock is just like "Okay, sure, if that's what you want" and slams the Assembled Mass Of Inspirational New Yorkers out of the way (Alfred Molina sells that moment so well, it's his little smirk that takes it from a fun moment to an awesome one). By deliberately playing up and then subverting the cliche you get the single best scene (in my opinion, anyway) of the three Maguire films.

He was the character in all three, but the first one has the scene where JJJ is dressing down Peter, talking about how Spider-man sucks, Goblin comes crashing through the window, threatening him for details about who gets pictures of Spider-man, and JJJ still has the integrity to not sell out Peter. It's very fitting of his character because he's a businessman first and foremost. A money grubbing blowhard who gets off on being an rear end in a top hat. But when it really comes down to it, he'll still stand up and do the right thing.

Maybe that's a better reflection of the writers, rather than the actor in this case, but I still think it helps the portrayal cement who the character is.
