I wouldnt call it the "definitive" Spidey flick, as it's taking a lot of liberties with the source material. Gwen never knew who Peter was in the comics, and actually despised Spider-Man. She was also an overemotional flake who ended up cheating on Peter with Norman Osborn, her role in this film, from what Avi Arad has said, is to be the "Little Mss Perfect" Gwen everyone from the 70s pretends exists...the one that was so sickingly sweet Gerry Conway killed her as soon as Stan took a holiday.

Secondly, Peter never brooded over his parents as much. The one time he did, he got off his arse and vindicated their names. All in the same story.

As already said, this movie is taking some inspiration from the Ultimate comics to tell a different story. Nothing wrong with that. Looks like it'll be a solid film, but "definitive spidey?" Nah.
