Bumped to give Paul something to do.
Okay, I'm done with the stupidity.

Those are certainly uninformed comments, and could be construed as 'bad reviews' But how could he say the best parts were in the trailer if he hadn't seen the movie? I don't understand. And organic web shooters didn't change anything, it was just movie making shorthand. Plus it lead to some funny scenes. Like in Excalibur when Uther Pendragon physically puts the sword in the stone. Not quite according to legend, but easily forgiven because damn if that wasn't a powerful movie moment.

Sure the character was "changed"...this was the movie version.
The "real" Spider-Man (for the most part) can still be found being published by Marvel. That's not the REAL Spider-Man anymore either. One More Day, made sure of that. Hell, they've been trying to get rid of the original Spidey for years, first with the Clone saga. Besides none of the tv or movie Spider-Men have been tremendously accurate. I take more issue with how they portrayed Peter, Gwen, MJ, and Harry in the movies, more than the organic web-shooter thing. So he grows up with MJ and never has the "jackpot" scene, and he doesn't fall in love with Gwen first who never dies? It's like when Disney wrote a happy ending to The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Still it could be worse. Look at all those Tarzan movies that portray everything completely wrong, and never even try to tell the actual stories.

I don't think any of the cartoons, TV shows, or movies used Gwen Stacy until Spider-Man 3, did they?
