Ok I’m sure the PR folks planned this, but Garfield delivered a very nice speech about our favorite hero. Well done sir!

This is totally heartwarming, y’all.
“Ok I’m sure the PR folks planned this…”
What was your first clue… the pre-written speech?
And how bout that Lizard, huh?
I love this man.
That speech just echoes everything I’ve thought and felt about the character since I was five. Andrew Garfield is my brother from another mother lol. And hey nice gag with the Spidey costume.
I was a little lukewarm on this movie, but I’m starting to turn. The respect/admiration for the Spider-Man franchise that these actors have been displaying over the last few weeks is profoundly encouraging imo…
And good point about Dunst butters, I remember her complaining about the script/plot for the Spider-Man movies saying that its ‘not Shakespeare’, ugh…I’m digging the Garfield/Stone combo a thousand fold over the Maguire/Dunst combo…I’m so glad to see them gone.
That was really cool. emma stone seems excited too. I remember when they interviewed kirsten dunst for the movie and they asked her if she read any spidey comics and she said “Do i look like i read comics” i wish he would have mentioned ditko too, but still very cool
add a spider to the back and that costume is much better than the one being used in the movie…
Seems like a fun guy
This whole situation is getting better and better! If the rest of the movie was crap, at least I’ll enjoy Andrew Garfield’s performance and Emma Stone’s…performance. Right.
That’s….awesome
