Spider-Man Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man

2. Peter Parker

peter parker 2The Original Version... starred Tobey Maguire in the lead role. He played Peter Parker as an emo teenager, who acts as though he feels forced into the role of Spider-Man, due to the regret over allowing his Uncle Ben to die. But the Reboot... features Andrew Garfield - an English actor - in the role. He conveys a Peter Parker who is more light-hearted, and approaches his web slinging in a more carefree attitude (aside from when his friends or family are endangered). He is still dedicated to his newfound niche, but isn't angsty about it all the time. The Winner... has got to be Andrew Garfield. Not only is he more enjoyable to watch in the role, he even portrays his character closer to the original comics than Tobey Maguire did.
