Same argument/debate with Prometheus...whether they should have taken their helmets off or not.
I still think it was stupid having hundreds of "radioactive" spiders...it really doesn't make what happened to Parker as unique.
Finally saw this. Thought it was pretty awesome. Movie did alot of things right, some wrong, but I can't begin to nitpick it based off of deviating from the source material. These Marvel movies for the most part are drastically being influenced by the Utimate Universe, which I f*ckin' hate, but it's keeping enough of the classic influence to stay afloat of my interests enough. It's also establishing it's own movie continuity shit, were it being advertised as a direct panel by panel translation of a graphic novel like 300 and Watchmen did, We'd all have reason to b*tch and moan about every single detail.
This movie, as a throwback to this:
It failed pretty hard. The Raimi films were a step closer, even though they had much fail on their end as well.
Now, as a throwback to this:
Film did a lot of things right. Wasn't a direct representation of it, but it was clear to me it was it's source material. The U-Verse had a different take on many characters and to me it makes sense to use this Peter since this one is aimed at a more current generation. He also needs to be pretty young to exist in a world where the Avengers are already established and such. This movie's Peter also came off exactly as the U-Verse's Peter. Tobey annoyed the shit out of me, and for that, this movie gets alot more interest.
However, if this film is stil relevent to the shit that's gonna happen in future Marvel movies like the Avenger's 2/3 or even just mention of this film's continued existance in forms of references and shit, it's not gonna feel like a total waste and brings a good unity to everything. If they flat out neglect the movie and it's sequels for a future Marvel-based reboot/origin story, I'm gonna feel like I wasted my time and money. So overall, that's a deciding factor in the importance this Spidey flick is gonna have with me, though I did think it was eons better than the Raimi trilogy. I like Raimi as much as the next guy, but his ass needs to stick to making comedy/horror films that we all enjoy watching. Though the first two were enjoyable, by the time the third came out, it was just a mess while some hold the second Spidey film as god-status, I don't, I hate Dr. Octopus. So there's that.
This film needed a Bruce Campbell cameo though.

but unlike Tobey,he CAN at least act. 😄 Like you said,Tobey has an annoying raspy voice you see present in ALL his films.This guy is a flexible and versatile actor.

if it was me, i wouldn't be bothered with the suit either.. i am not supposed to be there in the first place, let alone have the proper safety gear.. i don't understand this nitpicking.. if he had a hazmat suit on, the movie would be called "the extremely curious peter parker"..
Ok so lets say the room had been radioactive, because he's in a hurry lets screw the suit and dive on in there, oh look his skins melting but thats ok because he was in a hurry and at least he's not being thrown out by security guards
He's meant to be this genius kid yet he goes into a room where people are meant to wear suits without taking any precautions or thinking over about what the danger could be
