That's how he usually defeats Electro when he wants to go with the hands since he's physically way stronger than Electro. Of course Electro in this movie is more based off the UC version and can go incorporeal with his powers and since I don't read a lot of UC Spidey I'm not sure how he use to consistently beat him. He does beat him with scientific means from time to time but it's so much easier to throw dude in the water.I agree that neither was done it completely right but I was just saying they did one aspect better in comparison to each other. As far as Tobey looking smart as opposed to being smart, they ditched the web shooter for organic webbing and I felt that took away from pointing out that Peter Parker is a genius so you got a point there but to me he showed his smarts in other places. I feel all of SM1 established Tobey as the closest thing we've got to Peter Parker on screen (minus the extreme emo symbiote dancing). It just really felt like this is the lovable loser side of PEte on screen struggling trying to get right.
As for Garfield if this movie did one thing is make me not completely care that he doesn't do Peter Parker that well cuz I enjoyed that he was Spidey in and out of costume for like 90% of the movie. Now yes he's gotten the genius being displayed in the first two movies (and that whole connecting the dots with his father and Osborn was even detective like) but some of the stuff in ASM2 was so transparent in trying to show he's smart or that Gwen is helping. The whole exposition of how to beat Electro had me like :roll eyes and he does some of that corniness in the early comics but no need to do it liked that now and I'm sure it could've been done better. Like they should've just gave me the web gloves.
Overall the Peter/Spidey Garfield does made me feel he isn't the genius front he comics and would rather do something like that.
Web gloves huh?
