Andrew Garfield definitely should come back. His acting felt more believable as Peter Parker & Spiderman. I felt like Andrew didn't get a good enough chance to show his stuff because the actual story wasn't that amazing. Like having the perfect actor yet the script is horrible type of scenario.

Toby Maguire just wasn't believable, just some actor that luckily got the part. Kirsten Dunst was also an ugly Mary Jane.

(If only this forum had a like-button...)


TASM 2 could have been much better without Electro, instead the focus should have been on Green Goblin from the start, and they should have used the "uncensored" version of Gwen's death. 

Garfield's performance was very good considering the script.

lol thanks =)

Agreed, Electro didn't really need to be in that movie.  

Just thinking about Electro, and not to sound hateful or racist, but I dont understand why the need to changing certain characters to be black/african american.  Nick Fury, Kingpin, Electro, Human Torch etc..  Does America feel more patriotic if they changed one character into a black person? However, the unspoken "rule" is that the character must not be the main protagonist (because caucasians need to stay as the main focus?) and the only option of choice for different nationality is african american.  These characters have been fully created decades ago that nobdoy should have to considered changing their nationality.  What's next? a black Santa Claus?  I'd love to see Captain America to be of middle eastern decent for the irony lol. But not likely because of the "rule". 

It's funny that ppl on this site feel Electro shouldn't have been in the movie and should have been just the Goblin... I feel the direct opposite. Mainly because we have already seen a Spider Man movie with the Green Goblin in it, and yet to see one with Electro. Plus, from an Acting perspective, Jamie Foxx was the bright spot in this movie... He played the Honest working Geek everyone takes advantage of to the OP Diabolical Super Cool Villian to a T. Plus as Electro he was super sinister looking. I would have totally loved to see a movie dedicated to him as the only villain.

As it comes to race... I didn't have any problem with Electro being Black. Race has nothing to do with his character, so it plays a non factor to me. As Spider Man however, that's where I have a problem. I guess it's because: 1) I REALLY identified with Spidey since I was a child and he's always been white since and 2) Since I am from the area his stories were based and written from, a Caucasian lower middle class living in the suburbs struggling to pay the bills seems so much more factual then being from another race. That's including Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indian... whatever (and I am a Hispanic-American here)!

But obviously this doesn't apply to Miles Morales (Ultimate Spider Man).
