I'm disappointed that Spider-Man 4 isn't being created, but at the same time I am also excited about the potential surrounding this new reboot. Firstly, the teenage years are basically the best years of Spider-Man - read Ultimate Spider-Man if you need any proof. I want the entire film to be set within Peter's Junior Year at High School with him being aged sixteen. Then, movie two can be set within Senior Year and the third having him off to Empire state University.
Secondly, Maguire is aging and his 'Sleepy Spidey' as you called him was getting kind of old. We need a cool Spidey who constantly wisecracks in his battles and with his friends as Pete - in the comics, Pete wasn't someone who bumbled around like a shy, vulnerable idiot; he had humour. rarely came across with Maguire's portrayal.
I totally agree. Kirsten was great in the first, tolerable in the second and unbearable in the third film. I want an actress who can a) act and b) bring out MJ's party girl qualities on-screen. I guess that's down to the script as well - but I want MJ to be depicted as a party girl like in the 60's comics and perhaps Gwen Stacy be Peter's love interest (albeit one who has a much better actor and a personality more akin to the 60's comics and not that horrible one from SM3).

Spider-Man and her role as Mary Jane made me really, really dislike Kirsten Dunst. I didn't care for her at all. After seeing her in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and How To Lose Friends and Alienate People however, I was pleasantly surprised when I wasn't annoyed everytime she spoke.
Long story short, I never liked how she played MJ.
