Please keep in mind you are voting on the actor, not the movie.

Andrew Garfield.

UniSol GR77 · 12-09-2020, 05:32 PM

Nicholas Hammond.

I'm serious.

My personal favorite is Tobey Maguire because I grew up on the movies, but hardcore comic book reading me is voting for Andrew Garfield. He actually embodies Peter & Spider-Man 616 the best and was robbed of his role if I'm being honest. Holland is still awesome though for different reasons.

I love all three for what they brought to each movie.

A fair and balanced opinion. Post more here.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

Tobey Maguire.

Tom Holland is a good Spider kid, but Tobey is the Spider man.

Gacivory · 12-09-2020, 06:22 PM

Tom Holland

JayTL · 12-09-2020, 06:24 PM

all three have their pros and cons.

I went for Holland because he fits the role best in my opinion.

I really wish Garfield had better material to work with

h0h0x · 12-09-2020, 06:30 PM

Andrew Garfield.

slumcat · 12-09-2020, 06:34 PM

McGuire all the way. He personified young superhero before the MCU era. He didn't play it quite as much at a teenage level as Holland.

Andrew Garfield is absolutely awful.

Holland is nice as a younger teenage level Spiderman.

McGuire also wins on the virtue of having the best Spiderman film. Spiderman 2 film is CBM masterpiece. And his love story carried weight compared to the other two which are flimsy.

Michael24 · 12-09-2020, 06:42 PM

Tobey Maguire.

Didn't care much for Andrew Garfield and don't like Tom Holland at all.

We must be close in age, I grew up with the Maguire movies as well. I remember seeing it when it first came out and completely falling in love with the character. It was my first introduction to Spider-Man too. I was 6 years old.

Man I watched that DVD over and over and over. Spider-Man 3 was the first Blu-ray I ever got too. I was 11 years old then. Still feel nostalgic when I see that beautiful slipcover on there... I can never totally hate that movie.

jayman3 · 12-09-2020, 06:48 PM

Ugh.

Tobey portrayed an amazing Peter Parker (but came across as whiny man child in later films) and captured a Christopher Reeve like nostalgia for being Spider-Man.

Andrew was way too hipster of a Parker (though more of an Ultimate/Spectacular interpretation) but he nailed the sarcastic humor and witty quips as Spider-Man.

Tom on the other hand perfectly encapsulates the awkwardness of a high school Peter Parker while also being a charismatic and charmingly heroic Spidey.

Though, the association with Stark technology, Karen HUD, assistance from Fury, and supporting role of being an Avenger somewhat hinders what makes Parker’s Spider-Man the quick thinking, intelligent, creative innovator self reliant hero he is.

Nostalgia sake would be Tobey, and overall entertainment is a vote for Holland.

CreasyBear · 12-09-2020, 06:55 PM

Garfield is the best Peter Parker/Spider-man. Maguire has the best single film. Holland is admirable, but stuck in lame duck sitcom films.

L.J. · 12-09-2020, 07:19 PM

Toby

Josep5349 · 12-09-2020, 07:24 PM

Christopher Daniel Barnes

From the three choices, anyone but Maguire, I find him unwatchable as PP/S.

Jay H. · 12-09-2020, 07:24 PM

Holland. More likable than the other two, and closer in age to an actual teenager.

Garfield is a great actor but was far too old to be playing a high school student. Maguire was also too old, and isn't appealing at all. His lisp/constant mouth full of saliva is very annoying.
