I think Craig plays Bond pretty close to how the character was portrayed in the books,

Pierce Brosnan was probably one of the worst, and probably had some of the worst movies. Daniel Craig's Bond is so much better.

I agree with you on bond 100% , not all people have the eye to see that so ignore the disagrees.

I wrestle back and forth all the time between Norton and Ruffalo. I think they both have their pros enough that they're nearly equal.

Def agree on Norton's portrayal of Banner's frailty. Great way of putting it. But Ruffalo has that mild-mannered likeable guy thing down and through that you can still see the 'I can explode at any minute' quality in his performance that you really need for a good Banner.

Nah the darkness was reignited by Nolan. Although most fans would agree that Burton's Batmans were great many casuals at the time still had the Adam West series fresh in their head. Apparently anything darker than that was a big no no for families.

Thats the thing you have to be Peter Parker to be Spiderman and he wasnt not Parker. Spiderman is a cocky joking character ( kinda like Nightwing). Andrew did have that attitude when he put on the suit.

on topic Val (batman sucked)

Andrew looked like one of those guys who would have most likely beat the shit out of Peter in high school.

The whole witty, sarcastic Spiderman was because of the script which is why Toby's wasn't like that.

Toby is a better Peter Parker

Andrew is a better Spiderman

Toby was let down with the script with Spiderman

Andrews looks let him down with being Peter

Tobey Maguire just seemed real to me. As a package. A believed that the man he was while in the costume was the same good hearted-dork that put up with JJ's crap or struggled with his bills. Or loved his aunt or loved a girl that was way out of his league. The character he played had a sense of humanity to it that Garfield's didn't. And it isn't Garfield's fault. I could see the great Spider-man Andrew could have played had he been given better material. Sure Spider-man is supposed to be funny but if that means losing his human side then it's a loss that'll never go down to well. Spider-Man is relatable. He's inspirational. Very few comic book heroes are both. VERY VERY few. I think those traits are more well known and loved by the masses than his funny side and I saw a lot more of that in Raimi's Spider-man!

I pray to God that Marvel can capture that part of their character in their movies. Certain characters have been diluted to comic relief. Characters like Tony and Star Lord. I hope the same doesn't happen to Spidey. He deserves better. :(
