I take it you are a Spidey fan who HATEs the Green Goblin, right
?
Apart from that observation, I can only add that I rather enjoyed the first two movies; probably because I never read the comic books themselves (gasp!).
And I won't say a word about Maguire. Not. One. Word. [/quote]
Oh, the films aren't exactly the books, but they are actually very faithful to *who* Peter Parker is, and for that they are excellent.
Early Spidey books were more about Parker than the costume. Stan Lee had a chance to play with simply plot driven writting with the Fantastic Four and many of this other early 1960s books. Spidey came a few years later and was a character driven arc ... essentially Stan Lee and Steve Ditko really ran away with what was a novel idea for comics. Parker even aged at a reasonably normal rate for the first few years of the book.
I think Maguire was a great casting job.
