The 4 perfect comic castings IMO are Christopher Reeves, JK Simmons, Ron Pearlman and Karl Urban.

Hey now, he rocked it also as Cave Johnson.

There is always something comforting about character actors. Just seeing a familiar face but not really knowing their name.
[QUOTE=Fangz;47051046]I hope Disney does what they did with the Daily Bugle with the current Spiderman Cartoon, by having it as a 24 News station with the quality of Fox News instead of a tabloid paper, for the upcoming movie.[/QUOTE] In the comics Jameson is now working on a News Station. He became the mayor of NY but got fired after he spent too much money on spider-slayer robots and anti Spiderman measures.

I'd make that face too if my nose was touching a visor like that
Ahh, that kooky Jameson. I probably wouldn't like Spiderman if it wasn't for him[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD23QxpY5qc].[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfRdTqJkaEc[/media]
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;47051281]At least Toby was able to string a sentence that wasn't just "uh....oh....*hand movements* uummmm". Peter Parker is a bit bad at social situations but not completely retarded.[/QUOTE] What does that have to do with the actor himself? Andrew portrayed Peter Parker the way director and scriptwriters wanted, not because he's a horrible actor.

[QUOTE=LegndNikko;47056078]When people say "Garfield's Spiderman" versus "McGuire's Spiderman," they mean the way it was portrayed, not explicitly how the actor did it.[/QUOTE] Sorry, from the way he worded it I thought he attributed it directly to the actors' performance.
[QUOTE=Swiket;47050882]He is obviously perfect for the character, but it would be pretty surreal to see him in a Spider-Man movie unrelated to the Raimi trilogy.[/QUOTE] J. Jonah Jameson is the central axis upon which all alternate universes spin

Looking back at all the movies there are bits and pieces that worked really well: J.K. Simmons is perfect for JJJ Willem Dafoe could have been great GG but his design was poor Alfred Molina was also a very good Doc Ock The soundtrack was amazing Now the Amazing movies did only few things that I think improved over Raimi's movies: Web-shooters. Although they only run out of web in the comics when the plot needs it they are great way to show Peter's smarts. Unfortunately in TAS I think they explain how Peter gets his web fluid is stealing (maybe even online ordering) it from Oscorp? The costume from TAS2. The bigger eyes and slender body are my ideal Spidey look. Finally I think Garfield is better Spidey but only that. Even if J.K. returned I doubt it would save the movie. After the two TAS movies I have no faith in Sony making a really good one. Some of the backstories aren't looking good. I hope a miracle happens and Marvel gets the rights back.
I still remember that part of portal 2 when Cave Johnson went crazy about that part with the lemons. J.K. Simmons basically changed to Jonah Jameson at that moment.
