Last night I finally got to see this DVD that I had bought in 2012...I should have waited longer.
This reboot was completely unnecessary, it just clunked along, retreading the exact same territory as Raimi’s first film, in a less effective way.
James Horner’s score sounded generic and bland.

Rating 2/5

I think you are right.  This one and the second are just not up to the standard of the first series.  Just and example of Marvel trying to suck as much money out of web slingers fans as possible.

Not Marvel. Sony. The set up this second series or else the rights would have gone back to Marvel.

At least Andrew is a good sport:

Raimi was supposed to do a 4th movie..he felt the date that Sony had already set was too soon.  They didn't want to move it back, so he left the project.  They Sony decide it was reboot time so they could keep the rights.

Unnecessary, yes. Bad, no, not in my opinion. I tried to not compare it to the first one when I watched it, and I enjoyed it just fine. Would I rather have seen a fourth Raimi film? Yes, if they could have come up with a decent new script.

I agree with Gunnar... I didn't try to compare it to the others... and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I enjoyed it overall...and the new one, but there were one or two things I think were a little rushed.  The reboot wasn't needed, but it isn't horrible.
