I'm not sure how many of you are fans of Spiderman, but I dug this up:

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies...spiderman.reut/

Basically it simply announced that Gwen Stacy will be introduced in Spiderman 3. Next to Ben & May Parker and Mary-Jane Watson, Gwen has always held a very important place in the conflict between Peter Parker and Spiderman (not to mention has given Spidey fans the ultimate reason to HATE the Green Goblin).

I take it you are a Spidey fan who HATEs the Green Goblin, right ;) ?

Apart from that observation, I can only add that I rather enjoyed the first two movies; probably because I never read the comic books themselves (gasp!).
And I won't say a word about Maguire. Not. One. Word.

Oh, the films aren't exactly the books, but they are actually very faithful to *who* Peter Parker is, and for that they are excellent.

Early Spidey books were more about Parker than the costume. Stan Lee had a chance to play with simply plot driven writting with the Fantastic Four and many of this other early 1960s books. Spidey came a few years later and was a character driven arc ... essentially Stan Lee and Steve Ditko really ran away with what was a novel idea for comics. Parker even aged at a reasonably normal rate for the first few years of the book.

I think Maguire was a great casting job.
