The Amazing Spider-Man 1 is a fantastic movie and Andrew Garfield has come the closest to really capturing 616 Spidey. I’ve never bought the “he’s too cool” argument. The Raimi/Ditko nerd with glasses that gets his lunch money stolen isn’t really what Peter Parker is about. The key concept about Peter Parker is his sense of alienation and Andrew really gets that. He constantly feels like an outsider. Just because he skateboards in the hallways doesn’t make him “cool.”
