Yeah yeah yeah wow...
If you couldn't care less about Spidey's new black suit (raised web stitching or not), but still worry that Sam Raimi missed a trick by not having Spidey fight giant robots then you'll want to watch this:
That's the full first episode of the 1978 Japanese Spiderman. The costume and powers are familiar, but this guy is more interested in his motorcycle than photography. His 'Uncle Ben' gets killed by an alien toy dinosaur robot thing before he inherits his suit from some old dying warrior in a nearby cave. Still with me? His costume by the way seems to be kept in an ungainly bracelet that when pressed sends the thing shooting across the room before it dangles mysteriously in front of our hero. One quick ZIP and he's all set to kick the living crap out of any nearby duckbeaked ninja.
It's not subtitled, but it doesn't really matter. If you think you can't be arsed watching the whole 24 minutes then you'll miss the bit when he's up against the wall and has no option but to call for the help of his handy transforming lion robot. That doubles as a garage for his flying Spidermobile...
Oh yeah and the end credits feature a whistling ballad theme tune.

holy crap.
I hope that inspires you to move on from all that CGI and start afresh in dodgy costumes and out of scale toy robots...
