Steven Spielberg celebrated his 75th birthday the other day and his first ever musical hit cinemas just a week before. Unfortunately it's been demolished at the box office by Spidey, but it was always a tricky sell to make a 2 and a half hour remake of a beloved musical over 60 years old. I definitely prefer the original but there are some interesting parts of this, great directing and solid musicality, I just wish it was slightly better.
