I'm not a McGuire fan, but I don't think anyone could blame the guy with the type of character they wanted him to portray. He fits the geek image well too. Along with him, James Franco and Willem Dafoe, the casting was horrendous. Their acting was annoying, but when you put it all together, all of them acted too theatrically and dramatic, which you can basically blame on the directors vision. I know it's just a movie, but I think I was pulling out my hair at how dumb the series was while watching it in the theatre. Certainly the Spiderman character is different than Batman, but at least make the action good and the characters grow a pair of gonads. That's not too much to ask.
