hate the suit!I’ve seen downhill ski suits that look better.The back of the suit really rots! like its half finished.Maybe it is and we’re only seeing pre-production shots.(wishful thinking) I’m not crazy about Garfield as Peter Parker either.Hopefully the story and characterization make up for any anal expectations on my part.

I think this is a really bad idea for them to make this movie over, because Tobey Maguire did such a good job as playing peter parker.

In reply to Patrick. I'll second that! When you're right, you're right.

Why go the whole hog and mess with the costume from the comics?? they could have just gone with a different shape from the previous movies for the eye-lenses and it would have been really different. different artists and different titles have different spidey white eyes. Raimi movies= triangular eyes / comic books= well, comic-book like. big eyes like from Ultimate Spidey would have totally rocked!!

I’m getting more and more excited about this movie. Personally, I thought Maguire was a terrible Spider-man. Garfield seems to have the right personality and look for the web head. Plus Zach Webb has proven that he knows how relationships work on film, and Spider-man is all about relationships between characters (plus his name is Webb, so he’s perfect for it).

Maybe the costume will change as the character develops, but it looks good so far. Just can’t take to Garfield though, maybe a teaser trailer at least could dispel this slight worry.

Other than that, I look forward to seeing the villains.

After seeing this in its full glory I have to say I am on board now with this project. I like Garfield I just saw social network and all i though about was man I can’t wait to see this guy do Peter Parker.

I’m cool with the small changes. Look, there have been many different tweeks to the suit in the comics, so this should obviously be the case with a new franchise. I dontt know bout the rest of you guys but I also dont have a problem with a new reboot/take so soon. I’m a long time Spidey fan and would want restart every year after each trilogy closes anyway. This is coming together pretty nicely BUT the closer will be the Bad Assness or non-Bad Assnes of it’s villan and chemistry not between the two leads but chemistry between the new film and us fans.

nuff said.

also had some 2099 vibes at first but this tilts more in Peter Parker/Spectacular Spiderman territory.
(Love the Title though!)

In reply to Rodney.

Todd McFarlane’s variation of the Spiderman outfit was not the first Spider-Man costume either.

They all have very similar themes, and just because these are a little more square than the very squarish web patterns on Raimi’s Spider-Man is hardly a deal breaker.

People are splitting hairs on a costume you HAD to know was going to be a little different.

This version still very much looks and feels like Spider-Man and draws inspiration from a wide number of costumes the Webhead has worn over the decades.

In reply to Rodney. Looks like Squares to me, where the web is suppose to be radiating from between his eyes. I like Raimi's design because he stuck with Todd Mcfarlane's art.
