I saw this last night. It was okay, but it wasn't spectacular. I think I like the original better. It wasn't quite as happy as the original. I'm not a huge Dakota Fanning fan either, I would have liked to see a different actress in that part. It had a strong message of "acceptance" with the spider.
The only thing that REALLY bothered me about the movie is that they didn't have any song and dance scenes-they cut out all the songs, the ones with templeton at the fair, and "zuckerman's famous pig", there weren't any songs at all.
