I think you're missing out, but I can completely understand why some people do not enjoy TP films. Actually I just lied, I don't understand why people wouldn't love TP films, but to each his own.

I still think Topher Grace would've been a great Spider-Man.
Thor did his own drop kicks (plenty of them at that). Thor on the small screen, I have to admit, looks better than on the big screen but I would say the cgi was a huge upgrade from Spider-Man.
It's a tired subject, suspension of belief, but fuck all get out if the Spider-Man (men) movies didn't show a huge distinction of cgi Spidey and an actor in a suit. At least Amazing let's us know it's going to be a shit ton of cgi. In the original trilogy it was obvious cartoon spidey, and then we see Toby literally jump into frame as if we were led to believe he was actually swinging webs around town. Bullshit. It looks downright stupid and isn't an improvement from the 1970's tv series.
And again, the sets are terrible. The parade scene is astronomically awful. When GG throws a pumpkin bomb at the previous owners of Oscorp (plus MJ), you can actually see the styrofoam "bricks" breaking apart. It looks as laughable as the styrofoam rocks used in the original Star Trek series.
I couldn't agree more with Topher being a great cast for Spidey. I always thought his female counterpart from That 70's show would have also made a great MJ...but that would be too much.
Tying things together with nitpicking; Ugh, Mary Jane has never been represented well on screen. I'm intrigued to see how Gwen Stacy will fair in the new movie adaptation, and it is almost a shame that Gwen wasn't in the original movie trilogy. So much there left untapped (the story line, not Gwen's blonde ass).
