He hooks the part enough. I'm willing to give the guy a chance.
I've only seen 'im in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and I thought he did well enough in that part, but I'm not sure if I can picture him has Peter Parker/Spider-Man. But then again who really thought Tobey MaGuire could pull it off? I still think it's retarded that they're already "rebooting" this franchise.
I could see him as Peter Parker. I'm personally more curious about where the franchise is going to go now that Raimi's left.
