Tobey Maguire did an okay job in the movie – BUT – I feel he just does not fit the role of Peter Parker well. I sometimes wonder if they picked him because he was the only famous face that fit the suit – LOL – JUST KIDDING (i think).
I’m not sure who I would have picked for the role, but Tobey would have been last resort, not meaning any insult to the lad.

If he could turn off that thing where it sounds like he is crying when he is talking. That is okay for an emo like Peter Parker, but Spidey should be tougher.

Yes, I thought he was great. Spiderman is supposed to be a very self-effacing kind of guy, which Tobey Macguire is. I thought he and Kirsten Dunst have wonderful chemistry together.

NO !
he’s petite
no good body
he’s not cute
he is not even a good actor
he’s in the movie only when there is a close up of his face, the rest was done by his stuntman, even the non dangerous scenes with the spidy suit.

I think that he was more than the right actor to play spiderman because i cant imagine anyone else playing the part better than him.

By far one of the best casting calls of recent movie making. One of the inherent problems with casting for comic characters is that fans usually more about the character (and care more for consistency) than the producer and casting agents of a film. Good examples would be Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Dolph Lundgren in the original Punisher movie. (The worst was Bean Affleck as Daredevil) While these actors did their best, and Jackman did well with the character even though he didn’t match the archetype, Toby Macguire was a perfect fit for PETER PARKER. The real casting twist wasn’t casting Spiderman, CGI did all of that. The real character in the story is Parker. Casting Macquire as Parker nailed it. (I thought he would be good before they even thought of casting the movie.)

Yes – he’s more of a regular guy. I think he is better than the others they considered – Wes Bentley or Jake Gylenhaal.

Yes I think he did a wonderful job.. He is one of those people who seems to be a little mysterious.
