Looking back at Sam Raimis trilogy, there is something incredibly lacking in Maguires performance, especially compared to Garfields rendition of the beloved wall-crawler. To sum it up best, its just plain. Yes, not everyone can be as revolutionary as Heath Ledger or as ovary popping as Tom Hiddleston, but youve still got to bring something unique to role, and there is just nothing massively interesting about Maguires Spidey, nothing that separates him from the rest of the pack. Andrew Garfield, however, bursts onto the scene with such a dynamic personality he puts Maguire to shame. Hes funny, hes awkwardly charming and hes brave. In his early scenes he already distances himself from Maguires Peter, but it wasnt until he dons the mask for the first time when his charisma really shines. Maguire just seemed like a wet blanket at times, constantly snivelling and coming across as weak and dull, while Garfield maybe a bit bold and brash at times, you cannot deny that when hes on screen he is commanding the spotlight. Andrew Garfield brought the right level of playful sarcasm and presence to Spidey in the costume that was lacking from Maguire's, not to mention a plethora of additional affectations that Maguire's personality just couldn't pull off. While Maguire seemed to struggle, Garfield appears effortless and as cliché as it sounds; its as if he was born to play this role.
