I still think the suit looks like garbage (and I am extremely lenient on evolving interpretations of costumes and consider myself openminded). The big problem is the black ratio in the weave or recessed honeycomb or whatever the heck is going on. It just makes him look filthy (kinda like 'Dark' Supes in Superman 3).

I go back and forth on the suit...generally I think I'm ok with it. The Lizard is awful.

I really like that they are referring to the original comic book itself (skinny High School kid, Gwen, physical vs organic webshooters)
The poses deliberately highlight that attempt to refer to the comic. These photos look like they were pulled out the comic panels and literally copy the illustrations.
I was at the SDCC panel back in July. Waited several panels just to see the Spidey reboot panel. I like that the action sequences will be more stunt work/physically grounded rather than CGI.
Based on what I saw and heard from the panelists, I think they made good choices and compromised for the best and it will probably be overall far better than the previous Spidey movies.
As for the suit, looks like they went Alternate Universe style, instead of classic. I prefer that they chose something closer to the old school suit, but I'm ok with this new version.

The swinging parts look great.

Smart move by Sony not to let the Spidey movie franchise die. Look at what Warner Bros did with the reboot of the Batman franchise. Mucho dinero for Sony Pictures if they craft this the right way as WB did for Christian Bale's version.
I hope not, all those carnage clones I never got into - it marks the end of my collecting of comics. I always liked how Spidey the underdog faced off evil threats on his own by himself. He once got smashed up to death by Juggernaut but never quit. The guy went through an entire building just to try to scrape Spidey off his back!
My first comic I ever bought had Spiderman vs Electro in it. Probably only .60 cents on newsprint compared to the $2 or more they want nowadays. Anyway that 1 Spidey comic had me hooked. In the course of battle, Spidey always had some wisecrack thing to say to the badguy.
Anyway, I would always take my allowance and ride my bicycle when I was a kid every end of the month to the corner pharmacy to look for the next issue which led me to X-men, Daredevil, Ironman etc.
Comics are a movie goldmine - thats why the Studios keep going to Comic-Con.

Untold story, huh? Does that mean we don't have to suffer through yet another origin story? I swear to god you could just skip every third comic because all it does is rehash how he got his powers.
