When apple pie becomes rhubarb crumble
Nothing wrong with apple pie or rhubarb crumble, but once you start changing the basic ingredients of one it soon becomes the other. I get it, the makers want to bring it up to date and take the story into a new direction etc. - inject a new cultural demographic. However, having seen many versions of Spiderman from the 70s, to date I am not sold on the amount of changes. Don't get me wrong, this is well worth a watch, it is drawn and voiced beautifully - with a well matched musical score and script, and the changes might keep some guessing what next. Alas this version of Spiderman has too many changes for me to call it amazing!
