    "  Yet, if this Spider-Man series is to distinguish itself, Garfield will need to play him differently than Maguire,"
     
    This is something i read on another forum, now is it really about the movie? i mean when i think Spidey, i want to see him the same way i've seen him every other time, i dont LIKE change. but,......does it get old at some point? Well, cartoons and the TV show had Pete's beau from the office at the Bugle, it was Betty Brant in the cartoon, in the TV series,....i think it was someone else? then we had MJ, but now it's Stacy. THAT's a change. Speaking of Gwen Stacy,...I want to see CLONE SAGA CLONE SAGA CLONE SAGA

    This is false. He's commonly viewed as 5'10" throughout the 90's.
     
    Edit: On that note I guess anyone who is even a pound or two over 165 shouldn't be considered either..

    love it 
     
    At first I was annoyed that they changed the costume slightly, but Garfield looks the part and I rekon it has a more modern feel to it so yeh thumbs up.  
     
    Fanboys have got to realise that as long as the story stays true to the actual character of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, then it shouldn't matter if the costume is green and orange.

    I prefer the older movie costume, but this isn't bad at all.  Plus the actor looks ideal to play Spider-man. Where as Tobey Maguire really didn't suit the role imo.  Though I haven't seen Garfield in  anything before, so I can't really say whether or not I think he's the right choice just yet.

    Not too crazy about the costume as far as the color layout, but maybe he goes through multiple costumes if he is fighting the Lizard, since they would get shredded? Who knows though, if the costume look is all we can complain about once the movie comes out I think that'll be pretty good.

    The actor looks fine for a HS Spidey but that costume is a terrible.  When did Spidey visit latex, bottom boy.  The Rami version was spot on, they should have just done a variant.

    Is it wrong that the first thing I noticed was that his mask was off. That really bothered me in the original trilogy. Toby was always flying around with no mask. An entire train car saw him without one on. I simply couldn't believe that no one knew who he was. This is one of the problems I hope they fix in the new movies...

    I hate Ultimate spiderman.  I do not want an Emo metro sexual dork to play Peter Parker. Way to project modern angst onto the past.

    this costume looks excellant and so does Garfield, even though it is different, isn't almost every Marvel superhero costume that has made it  to the movies, it may not e spot on, but when traslating an old character to screen it is nearly impossible, and even the Rami suit had flaws, the silver webbing pattern, the pattern stuck out and so did the insignia, this is a new and modern approach to spiderman, just as the new Thor, Ironman, Wolverine (even though he doesn't really have one), Green Lantern, and Batman outfits are.

    Here's a leaked photo someone took on the set of the new Spidey Reboot. I'm no expert, but that's definitely Spider-Man alright, lol

    Here are two more from the perezhilton.com website. the quality of the pic isn't as good but it looks like the suit isn't under the bright lights of the set in these so you get a chance to see just how dark the costume really is, whereas in regards to RalfvdH's pic the set is noticeably lit up so the suit looks a bit brighter than it actually is. 
     
    I would say alot of diehard fans of the spidey suit may be thrown off by it but I think it looks cool and it still looks like Spider-Man. I don't think you could find anyone that couldn't look at these photos and instantly say "yeah, that's spider-man". My only curiosity is what appears to be metal pieces to the boots. This could just be for the sake of the actors and stuntmans feet and be photoshopped out later but the more I look at it the more I think that its a cool addition because it does actually make that part of the suit into a boot and keeps with the idea of adding a bit of reality into these characters. 
     
    But in the end I'm reserving judgement on the suit until I see the first trailers because that's when we'll see what the director really wants the suit to look like when the computer guys go and tweak the coloring, lighting and overall mood of the suit around to fit the picture rather than how it appears on set. 
     
    Enjoy the pics. 

     
     


     
     

    and though many people may have never seen the show doesn't the color tone and the mask (epecially the eyes) look like a homage to the 1977 live action tv show? While I doubt many people would call that a great representation of the character it was actually a cool show for its time given the limits of budget and computer graphics for a character like this. Have to say the mask and eyes are better than the Raimi films because they look so much closer to the comic books and also aren't a focal point of the suit the way they were before (either because they Raimi always did close-ups on them, or they would be reflecting too much or they would always be breaking or the lens falling out which consequently rarely happens in the comic)
