10 Dumbest Movie Reboots Ever

This film's sequel may get all the internet hate for showing that Sony had no idea what they were doing but this film is the one that deserves all the hatred in the world. At least its sequel had the guts to do something different, this film is a beat for beat redo of Raimi's original film in the blandest way possible. Even down to Uncle Ben's death and a speech from him that hilariously spends five minutes tip-toeing around the 'great power/great responsibility' line.

Garfield was praised at the time as a terrific Spider-Man, which he's fine at, but he is a horrendous Peter Parker. He's skating around school, wearing fingerless gloves and hanging out with hot cheerleaders. How is this guy a nerd, again? It also fumbles on the villain, making the Lizard a completely uninteresting and unconvincing CGI creation and completely wasting all of the build-up the character had received in Raimi's films.

The script is a nonsensical mess that spends its time either recreating a better prior film or introducing completely superfluous white noise like the mystery of Peter's parents, and makes the mistake of thinking we even remotely care. The film is an editing nightmare, and was clearly hacked to bits in the editing bay. Hell, even the musical score sounds like the kind of grossly over-the-top cliched fare you expect from a knock-off video game, not a huge blockbuster film.

This is the pinnacle of the worst parts of Hollywood's reboot addiction in every way. It's a pointless, money-grabbing scheme of a film that exists solely to hold on to the rights of the franchise that would have been better of anywhere else.
