    why all the hate for her? i thought she looked great as a red head and acted the best she could given the scripts she was given.

    Her being gone is the only reason I'm happy about the reboot.

    I like her as an actress, but she's no Mary Jane. Kirsten is a cute girl, whereas Mary Jane is a hot girl. There's a big difference.

    She would have been better as Gwen Stacy. Coincidently, Emma Stone would have made a better Mary Jane.

    It wasn't the real KipD. It was a clone of he created by the Jackal to screw up Spidey's movies. That's why she slowly degenerated With each movie.

    Made even more ironic by the fact that Dunst is a natural blond whereas Stone is a redhead.

    I like Kirsten Dunst. but I hated her as Mary Jane. She felt nothing like the character in personality or looks. Plus from interviews it seemed she felt the whole thing was just silly.

    She had the look, and she was hot enough, but she just didn't have the MJ feel.

    Actually, Stone's natural hair colour is blonde. She only dyed it red for her role in Superbad at the request of the director and has ever since kept it red.

    @sunhawk: She's good, but I always got the feeling she just wasn't comfortable in a movie about comic book characters, and the evidence of that piles up when you see and hear interveiws with her! However, she might have been pretty enthusiastic if she'd have gotten to become Spider-WOMAN at some point! Hmmmm, I wonder if that could have worked in Sam Rami's universe?...

    Far from the look, farther from the feel because dunst does not radiate 'jackpot' from her body like MJ does

    She had the look, but Mary Jane's body is 10x better than Kirsten's.
