Would you be ok if studios went back and updated horrible CGI

So I was watching Spider-Man 3 on Netflix. Don't ask me why. I don't know. That movie is so awful.
But one thing that really stood out to me is how fricking poorly the CGI aged.
There are entire scenes that are CGI that may have looked ok 12 years ago but are now just laughable.
So I got to wondering. Would you be ok if some of these studios went back and updated the CGI so it isn't so distracting?

1. CGI is expensive
2. Studios shouldnt be pumping extra money into bad movies
3. Studios shouldnt rely so heavily on CGI in the first place
So no. Touchups maybe if it is a classic and needs some tweaks to the technical aspects of the movie like original star wars did with lighsaber touch ups, removing the orange blur on the speeder, improving resolution etc.
However based on how carried away Lucas got with editing those same films...even that sounds questionable.

No.
I want black boxes around the TIE Fighters.
I want obvious ape masks on the background chimps and gorillas in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.
I want the same experience that I had when I originally watched these films.

What are you talking about? I never said anything about changing practical effects being converted into CGI

Yeah, it would probably be only classics with CGI

No.
Practical effects are far superior.

How can y'all misunderstand this so much. fricking A. I never said anywhere that you would replace anything but CGI and only when it is bad enough to be distracting

If they want to waste money on it, why should I care?
What I'm not OK with is adding CGI where it wasn't, like the remastered Star Wars OT

I have never once seen a movie that would have been good if only for the bad CGI. I've only seen bad CGI make a bad movie worse (see Star Wars prequals). You fix the CGI issues with Episodes II and III, and you still have mediocre movies. Why is that? It's because movies that are lacking in plot, acting, or pacing often use CGI spectacle as a crutch. Movies that don't need that crutch use it sparingly, tastefully, and therefor can afford to put more effort into each individual usage to make it look more real.

I understood you just fine. I understood it enough to realize what a horrible fricking idea and post it was.
