I did not care for the new actor as Peter Parker. Tobey Maguire was so perfectly cast in the original that no other actor can really fill that role for me.
I also agree that no MJ was an unusual choice.

I thought he was really terrible, and I haven't met many who thought otherwise.
Gwen Stacy is the original love interest. In many ways, the reboot is more true to the comic book. So, it wasn't just a random choice.
I bought Emma Stone as a top level scientist still in high school far more than Kirsten Dunst as a working actress. Just sayin'.
I liked both movies and the Dr.'s story was always one of my favorites. I have to say for whatever reason his face in lizard form annoyed me. I mean he had this huge ferocious body and claws but a flat face? Where did the Raptor Head go???
I think plot wise both spider mans were good, but I like the new spider man charachter rather than the old one. Seemed more real to me.

Just sayin'.I'll agree with you there. I didn't care much for Kirsten Dunst as an actress (real or imaginary). With all the great casting from the original, she was the one sore spot.Emma Stone did a wonderful job as Gwen.
I have to say this might have been Stan's best cameo yet.

Ironically, you're the first that I had heard didn't like him. I think he is an extraordinary actor. I had thought his role was acclaimed by the critics.
I've oft compared Toby in those Spider-man films to Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars prequels.
