Andrew Garfield - The Amazing Spider-Man

In response to fan criticisms that Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker didn’t feel quite as quippy and clever as his comic book counterpart, The Amazing Spider-Man opts to try and make him funnier. Garfield’s Parker cracks more jokes and feels more lively than Maguire’s, but it’s pushed too far in the other direction where he feels more petulant and spiteful than friendly.

Andrew Garfield has had some great moments as Peter Parker, and although the drama between Peter being Spider-Man and how that involves the Stacy family feels very Spider-Man, his relationship with Gwen feels slightly toxic at times with the way he seems to hound after her despite her distress. On top of all this, this Peter has the new plotline of his parents being pioneer scientists in the genetic field, and Peter’s blood being unique and important. This plotline distracts from the Uncle Ben motivation, and gives off "chosen one" vibes which doesn’t quite gel with the everyman aesthetic that is unique to Spider-Man as a hero.
