Another Needless Remake!

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2012)

Hollywood is sorta like a big factory building widgets(movies) and they have a certain quota to produce. These remakes are an attempt to fill their quota without much effort. No need to be creative! Just take a movie, any movie, add some new actors to it and voila! What a pile of horse manure. This movie should never have been made. The fight scenes are boring, the part where the construction workers all turn their cranes in certain direction to help a half dead spider man get back to fighting the lizard and save the girl was just so sappy it made me want to hurl. I read all the old Peter Parker(Spider Man) comics when I grew up and the Toby Macquire portrayal is more in line with the comic books. This movie made no sense whatsoever. Here is this mad doctor trying to find a way to make people stronger, and he's been looking for it for 40 years and all Peter has to do is wander into one of the doctors lab's filled with spiders and get bit and he's turned into Spider Man. In 40 years the mad scientist didn't get bit once....mmmm. Also the Lizard turned a whole bunch of police officers into lizards, why didn't they attack Spiderman as well. And what is the point in the Spiderman mask if he is telling every second person who he is. Hollywood and the whole movie industry doesn't value it's own work. Movies that should never be remade because they are works of art are redone for the sake of widget production quota's. There are countless great untold stories waiting to be turned into movies, but Hollywood chooses the easy way out. I gave this movie a 5 only because is did have it's moments.
