I spent nearly all of watching the film on TV wondering "why did they make it?" I'd seen the Toby Maguire version and thought it was OK. But a remake so soon??? Have they really got money to burn in Hollywood? THE GODFATHER is forty years old. Isn't it about time they did that again? When you've seen one Spiderman swinging through the New York skyscrapers you've seen them all. Remakes normally are a pain and this one confirmed that generalisation. The production did nothing in my mind to justify doing it all over again. Maybe the flying sequences were superior, technically, but does that really justify a complete remake? Are they really so hard up for ideas?
