The same for me! I feel that Garfield is a good actor but not suited to the role, and Holland has never really found his feet as a performer at all (in film anyway, I don't know how he is on stage). Maguire gets both sides of Spider-Man really well to me, humanising both Parker and Spider-Man in ways that are so effective and touching as the trilogy moves along. Perfect for the role, and remained that way!

(I also never understood the criticisms of Maguire/Raimi's Spider-Man not being witty or cracking jokes - he's often throwing around sassy, amusing lines in ways that bring to mind what I have read of Spider-Man comics)
