Synopsis:
This fan edit is an Extended Edition of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. I inserted all but one of the deleted scenes included in the Blu-Ray into the movie, making for a more complete and satisfying experience.
Intention:
I think The Amazing Spider-Man is a great superhero movie, and I personally really love it. Despite the negative reputation it has gained in the years following its release, I find myself thoroughly engaged in the story and relating with the characters. Unfortunately, it also feels incomplete due to studio interference, and as a result, kind of redundant all things considered. Removing key scenes took away not only the freshness of the plot, but also some of the story and character depth. That is why I wanted to reinsert the deleted scenes that were made available to us so that we can all have a more complete Amazing Spider-Man experience.

Editing Details:
I used Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore CS6. While editing not only did I insert most of the deleted scenes but I also took some minor liberties by cutting some stuff.
Cuts and Additions:
*The movie has been regraded to look brighter and more colorful. (Thanks Bobson Dugnutt)
-Cut Peter pretending to be someone else. He just sneaks into the intern group. (v1 only; v2 reinstates Rodrigo Guevera in service of the next change)
-As a result of the previous change, Peter getting bitten has been moved up to the Spider Room and Gwen taking his badge away has been cut. (v1 only; v2 keeps the original spider bite for much better dramatic effect, as the previous version simply fell flat and felt rushed).
+Added Uncle Ben's alternate death scene which was a lot more tragic.
+Added deleted scene of Connors giving his condolences. (V2 and on rescores this scene with subtle TASM2 leitmotifs).
+Added the POV shot from the teaser trailer for a more grandiose superhero entrance.
-Cut Peter bending the goal post with the football. (V2.5 reinserts this)
-Cut Peter seeing newspaper photo ad.
+Added deleted scene with Connors and his son. (v2 has the greenscreen arm decolored)
+Added deleted scene where Peter follows Connors to the sewers. (v2 has the greenscreen arm decolored)
+Added deleted scene where Peter and Gwen make out on top of a clock tower (foreshadowing?) (v2 has the scene rescored with "I Chose You" from the Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack)
-Cut Connors montage that was spliced together with different unused scenes and newly recorded voiceover.
+Added deleted scene where Connors talks to himself. (v1 has flashbacks, v2 has VFX to hide Connors' arm).
+Added deleted scene where Dr. Ratha tracks Connors' location.
*I did not add deleted scene with the two random girls at the bathroom. (v1 only; v2.0 reinstates this scene and furthermore rescores the scene with the Sandman leitmotif from Spider-Man 3; V2.5 keeps the original music with no SM3 Sandman theme. WTF was I thinking??)
+Added deleted scene where Connors asks Peter for help. This was re-edited to remove the greenscreen arm.
*V1: Reworked scene where Peter asks Gwen for an antidote. Now Peter sends a voice message instead of calling.
*V2: Moved Connors first entering the sewers from the middle of the movie to Peter calling Gwen to create an antidote as it was originally written and shot. This acts as a bridge between Connors asking Peter for help and "All the Power You Feel".
+Added critical "All the Power You Feel" deleted scene at the sewer. (V2 removes Ratha saying "Do you have any idea what you really are?" to cut the special Parker blood aspect that ruins Spider-Man being a random kid from Queens).
+Added deleted scene where Peter makes breakfast with Aunt May. (V1 Before the breakup. V2 as a post credits scene as I felt placing it before the breakup ruins the pace and flow).
-Cut the man in the shadows (V1 cuts the scene entirely; V2 only cuts the Man in the Shadows coming and talking to Connors.)

I was disappointed with this movie when it came out in 2012. So I wondered, does Masirimso’s extended edition make THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN any less disappointing?

Sure it does. It’s nice to see the full shot from Spider-Man’s POV as he runs across rooftops. Uncle Ben’s death makes more sense. And Peter Parker is no longer an opportunistic jerk who tries to win a cash prize for taking photos of the villain The Lizard.

The extended edition’s biggest difference is the inclusion of many scenes concerning Curt Connors aka The Lizard. The best versions of this character are a man who accidentally turns himself into a monster - a mute animal who terrorizes people, or a lizard man with the misguided goal of turning the world into lizard people. The story is usually about Spider-Man restoring Connors’ humanity and reuniting him with his family.  
 
The bar was set pretty high for the character, and the movie version of Curt Connors fully misses it. He seems a little sinister even before his transformation. He has no family. And he has too much going on: he wants to regrow his arm, he wants to build a world without weakness, he wants to strike back at his Oscorp boss Dr. Ratha, he wants to be powerful, he wants to end all loneliness. Oh and did I mention he turns into a giant talking lizard sometimes?

The real problem lies in a lack of clear delineation between Connors and his monstrous alter ego. When he’s in human form he prefers being the Lizard, except for when he doesn’t. When he’s in human form he has the same goals as the Lizard, except for when he doesn’t. This double identity descent-into-madness turns what should be the quintessential sympathetic Spider-Man villain into a bargain bin version of the Green Goblin. 
 
There’s nothing an extended edition can really do about this. All of the newly added scenes featuring Connors certainly don’t lessen the doing-too-muchness of the character, but they do allow his motivations to be better threaded throughout the movie. His madness is developed more slowly, so it’s easier to believe.

I like the scene where he consoles Peter over Uncle Ben’s death, as it helps establish the grandness of Connors’ ambitions, and it humanizes him as well. The scene with Connors’ son works similarly, but his son is never referenced anywhere else in the movie, so I can see why it was cut. 
 
One particular addition stood out to me. In the original movie, there is a weird scene of Connors in the sewer that is obviously a mishmash of shots from deleted scenes and random lines of dialogue repurposed as inner monologue. It’s an embarrassing bit of studio-mandated editing, the kind of editing that fan editing is made to fix. It’s now replaced by a new sequence that shows Connors asking Peter for help, taking Peter down to the sewer and explaining his plan, and then getting ambushed by Dr. Ratha.

This sequence clearly took some effort to assemble and finish, so kudos to the editor on that. It adds a lot to the story: Connors’ motivations are communicated in a more natural way, and we get closure on the Ratha character. We also get a much needed breather and some character moments before the movie ramps up into the action climax. 
 
But the new sequence also raises a few questions. Why is Connors telling his plan to Peter? Does he regret his actions as the Lizard? Does he still want to kill Peter or not? It’s very unclear what Connors wants versus what the Lizard wants, and it feels weird. Still, the new sequence is no weirder than the scene featured in the theatrical. I’d say it’s a net improvement. 

Some deleted scenes have unfinished special effects, but that’s just the nature of adding deleted material. It’s not super distracting, and Masirimso skillfully masks as much of it as he can.

Do I recommend the extended edition? Yes, I do. It’s still not an amazing movie, but the characters make more sense. And we don't have to sit through Connors summarizing his motives in an inner monologue. I would recommend it for that change alone!

My thanks to Masirimso for all the work put into this edit.

This is a solid extended edition. Many of the reincorporated deleted scenes worked in the movies favor, giving more pathos to the character of Dr. Curt Conners. It's a shame that placeholder vfx and sfx in some scenes still stood out, despite Masirimso putting in a good effort to patch up any obvious green screen. In particular, the crude on-screen graphics in the scene where Rajit is looking at Conners's video logs stand out next to the slick graphics in the rest of the film. Ultimately I'd recommend watching this version of the film.

This is a joyous surprise. Adding the deleted scenes makes this a better film (significantly so for character development and pacing). The seemingly minor changes on top of that lift this film to a level that I hadn't realized it could reach! Box up your original disc, this is the version you want to watch and re-watch.

The rich colors are comic-book gorgeous. Several small trims create a better balance between Peter's immaturity and his likeability as a character. While Gwen Stacy remains the highlight of the film, it's Connors who gains the most in this edit. He is more fully-developed and more tragic because of it.

For my taste, I might change just one detail: cut the hero-shot webslinging at the very end. It feels gratuitous. Instead close with Gwen smiling at Peter's "broken promises".

I've always considered the first amazing Spider-Man a decent reboot of the wall crawler, in spite of the fact that it felt like a remake of Sam Raimi's original 2002 movie.
This edit makes me appreciate it even more by restoring small yet significant bits of the story, creating a more cohesive and complete picture.
While the film is far from the best Spider-Man film, this version is a major upgrade over the theatrical version and it is done seamlessly.
Excellent job

With great power comes even greater editing. While a few of the deleted scenes weren't necessary this is still the definitive way to watch Amazing Spider-Man. I always loved TASM 1. This is the most realistic version of an actual New York Spider-Man we've scene. In some ways I felt it surpassed Raimi's. I'll review all the deleted scenes add and how well they were integrated.

1 I firmly believe in show, don't tell. This one left me more confused than anything. Ben followed that shadow who looked like peter but actually he was the guy with the long blonde hair who's shadow would look nothing like peter. Why did he shoot Uncle Ben? What happened? I can't say I prefer this one but after this almost everything is improved.

2 This is where it becomes a different movie. Dr. Connors condolences. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS WAS EVER CUT. All it did was make the Lizard a great character that you feel real sympathy for. Without this he was just another villain of a "Good guy who went bad because of a failed experiment" This makes him an actual person with hope and goals and someone who genuinely cares about Peter as opposed to Osborn and Octavius whom Peter knew but wasn't very close with.
This shows WHY Connors does what he does. Integrated with a transition using music from TASM 2 and then seamlessly transitions back into the normal film with the proper TASM 1 Music. Perfect.

3 I enjoyed the POV swinging shot from the trailer, but it was probably cut for fear of motion sickness. Also I noticed the transition from the trailer music to movie wasn't exactly seamless.

4 Connors's son. Very interesting. Again re-establishing that Connor's is a person and the Lizard is slowly taking over his mind. I would've never known that Masi digitally removed the arm because it looked so perfect as if it was done professionally.

5 Peter follows Connor. This is a replacement for Peter seeing 37 Lizards go into the sewers. This one makes less sense as Peter could've just followed Connors right there into the sewers since he already knew where he was. Thus the Lizard web trap Peter makes later doesn't really make sense.

6 Gwen and Peter kissing on the Clock Tower. This is kind of an implied sex scene which doesn't bother me. Maybe they cut it because they thought it was too adult. My OCD is asking where did he get the cushion and lit candles from. Narratively I feel indifferent about this one. For editing Masi used the love theme from TASM 2. It fits perfectly.

7 Again great Connors scene that shows he genuinely does not want to kill Peter like every other villain does. He wants Peter to work with him for something he believes is noble instead of Goblin's "Let's just tear the city apart" Integrated perfectly and a fine addition.

8 Girls screaming in the bathroom. This was cut because it was corny. Maybe they were trying to be like the corny shots from the Raimi films. I don't know. It doesn't affect the narrative but lessens the dark tone of the upcoming fight when other scenes were trying harder to achieve that. Integrated well but I extremely dislike this one and wish it stayed cut.

9 Peter making Aunt May breakfast. I’m glad it was relocated to post credits. It’s cute but confusing. It’s a smiley scene but May keeps saying Peter lost something and I think it's Gwen’s father and now Gwen for the time being, which is sad, so the tone of this scene is just confusing. Good job relocating it.

10 Dr. Connors asked peter save to him WHY WAS THIS NOT IN THE MOVIE TO BEGIN WITH? This changed the whole movie for me. It brings every great Spider-Man theme present in the movie and brings it full circle. Peter always has to choose between being Peter and being Spider-Man this perfectly establishes how much of a toll this is taking on both Peter and Connors. He’s not just another villain. He genuinely thinks he’s saving people by transforming them. Connors asks Peter a question “Would you give up your power?” Peter can’t answer him which is what makes this hit home so well. For once we’re saying ...”He kinda has a point” This also answers the question of why Rajit wasn’t in TASM 2. The integration was done great except for the special effects of the little tablet that Rajit uses wasn’t completely finished but Masi did his best to make it look cleaner than the original unedited deleted scene.

Great movie made better. I loved it so much I watched it twice, and this is the one I want to watch from now on. Masi did amazing work here.

I want to preface this by saying that I've always been a fan of The Amazing Spiderman. The original film had problems, but I always enjoyed Andrew Garfield's performance and the more realistic take on Spiderman.

This is from now on my go to version of this movie. The new scenes add so much to the story without adding too much to the runtime. It really makes you wonder why they were ever taken out. The scene where Curt Connors talks to Peter outside his house shortly after Ben dies gives Connors so much more character, and I enjoyed the addition of some music from The Amazing Spiderman 2.

There are a few places where you can definitely tell that it's a deleted scene because of unfinished VFX or grainier footage (Rajit snooping in Connors office and when Connors turns into the lizard for the final time and kills Rajit), but not enough where it takes you out of the film.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this edit to any fan of The Amazing Spiderman. Definitely the best version of the film I've seen so far, and I hope to see an edit of No Way Home from Masirimso17 at some point.

With Spider-Man: No Way Home coming just around the bend, I'd thought I would jazz up my rewatching of the other Spider-Man films with fanedits.

Now first off, I want to say that I hated the original TASM. I thought it was a terrible film.

Now after hearing about all the deleted scenes, I thought maybe Masirimso's extended edition would improve it.

It did, though it's still not perfect.

There are still some issues not resolved in this edit, like Peter going after his Uncle's killer and then dropping it halfway through the movie. Not to mention promising Gwen's dad that he'll stay away from her on his deathbed and then immediately breaking it.

But there are some things it does improve greatly. Curt Connors is more interesting now, with his motive fully shown and not just said in one or two throwaway lines. And, most importantly, Ben's death is improved greatly. While in the original, Ben dies stupidly over a stolen chocolate milk, here he goes after the guy mistaking him to be Peter, who he went out to find.

Overall, the film was definitely improved and the editing was good though there was a weird glitch in the 8 GB copy where the basketball scene was out of sync*. But if you thought that TASM was bad, I do recommend you watch this version and give it a second chance. You might find it better than you did before.

*I have contacted Masirimso about this and he has fixed it. That part of the review is a little OOD.

NOTE: This review will cover both Masirimso’s original “Extended Edition” as well as the updated “Untold Extended Edition.” Since the latter is identical to the original, apart from the addition of the Roosevelt subplot, I will be putting this identical review on both cuts (so that everyone is on the same page).

Let’s get this right out of the way; Masirimo has turned this from what felt like a blatant cash-grab, by Sony, into an actual film. Obviously Marc Webb’s intentions were far beyond Sony’s, since they made this film solely to retain the rights to Spider-Man — per their contract of making a film ever few years — unlike the film’s director, who was attempting to convey a well developed series of character-arcs; connected by a theme of fatherhood and loss across all of them.

The deleted scenes should never have been cut; that goes without saying. Without having Doctor Connor’s scene with his son, we lose an integral thematic mirror to Peter losing his father. In fact, by also placing the scenes back in their correct screenplay order — as opposed to the sloppily re-arranged order they’re presented in the theatrical cut — I now actually understand what the theme of this film is: The death of father figures, and how they live on in the legacy of their actions. Peter, Connor, and Gwen all serve a mirroring role in three similar character-arcs, where each is either a child losing a father or a father losing their child. All of them live on as the legacy of their lost father figure.

There are still things that feel blatantly ripped from the Raimi films; the downgraded “web font” opening titles, the promise to stay away from the love of his life, and I’m scared that whatever Masirimo does with “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” won’t be able to save it feeling like a blatant retread of Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2” in that regard; but I’ll wait and see, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Needless to say, these moments felt less obnoxious in this cut. Where the recycled content outnumbered the original additions, now it is quite the reverse. I’m happy to say that Masirimo has successfully turned a recycled cash-grab into a unique addition to the Spider-Man mythos.

Now let’s talk about the element unique to the updated “Untold Extended Edition;” the inclusion of the Roosevelt subplot. To be honest, as well as it works here — even going as far as bookending the opening scene — it still feels out of place, despite Masirimo integrating it in a way that feels (mostly) thematically relevant, as opposed to being meaningless filler. I’ve seen other reviewers say they couldn’t explain it, but that they could “tell” which scenes were from “Amazing Spider-Man 2.” The reason is simple: the visual continuity in these scenes, of both Peter and Aunt-May’s hair, blatantly doesn’t match the visual continuity of their hair in the first film. The differences are distractingly obvious, and it pulls me out of the film when these scenes show up.

That’s a minor issue, though. Let’s talk about the bigger problem, for both films, introduced by moving this subplot here. There are places where the scene transitions feel awkward. For example: originally Connor deciding to kill Peter flowed naturally into the following scene at the school, where he attempts to do just that. But in the updated “Untold Extended Edition,” Connor’s deciding to kill Peter now awkwardly cuts away to some random scene from the Roosevelt subplot, THEN awkwardly transitions from that to the school. So it actually hurts the flow of the narrative to insert this subplot into the places it goes, because it’s usually not relevant to what’s happening at that point in the film. And while it’s great to have the full-circle resolution to the opening prologue, it serves the film’s bookends at the expense of its body/middle.

Even with this resolution, it also creates a problem of their being two different “father-figures” for Peter in the same film; being both his literal father and Uncle Ben. The resolution of the train scene is immediately followed by the phone call, so either one resolves the film’s thematic-arc about lost father figures. You don’t need both, because the other just re-iterates an idea that’s been established already. It honestly kind of makes Ben’s father-model role in the film less meaningful, especially when it’s in the context of filling the void left by Peter’s literal father. If his literal father “returns” in a sense, by means of a video message, it makes Ben filling that void less impactful. Once you factor in Ben literally saying Peter has “unresolved” conflicts to deal with, in the film’s conclusion, it even further hurts his role in the film; because he’s wrong. Peter’s conflicts ARE resolved now. It almost negates the whole point of even including Ben’s final voice message.

This is just the ways the inclusion of the Roosevelt subplot hurts the first “Amazing Spider-Man.” Now let’s talk about the very subtle way it (probably) hurts its sequel. The plane crash needed to be at the start of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” for a very important reason: it provides a thematic mirror to Gwen’s death. Richard Parker loses the love of his life, as a consequence of his devotion to do good. Likewise, his son Peter Parker loses the love of his life, as a consequence of HIS devotion to do good. Considering Masirimo more than likely put back the deleted scene where Richard Parker returns alive, it also serves as an integral bookend to that scene. Peter’s dad returning comes full-circle with the opening prologue, of the plane crash, because it happens after Gwen’s death; his return is a comfort to Peter in that moment, because he can personally relate to what Peter’s going through in having also lost the love of his life. So I don’t actually have to watch Masirimo’s cut of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” to know removing the plane crash prologue hurts that film’s thematic bookends.

That being said, this review is not about “The Amazing Spider-Man 2;” and considering I haven’t actually watched Masirimo’s “Untold Finale Edition” of it yet, it’s unfair to be too critical until then. But I do already anticipate that cut of ASM 2 will be losing an integral thematic framework, without the plane sequence, because it was moved to this film.

Back to talking about “The Amazing Spider-Man.” If Masirimo’s bang up job on this film is any indication, I can afford to give him the benefit of the doubt on the next one. He turned a film without merit, or unique accomplishment, into something that stands apart from prior adaptions of Spider-Man. I still think the inclusion of the Roosevelt subplot harms the film, which is why I suggest anyone reading this go with his original “Extended Edition.”
NOT the “Untold Extended Edition.”

…I will say I fear how this recommendation will impact the sequel. Just based on the descriptions of the changes in both versions, I know his original “Ultimate Edition” of ASM 2 is radically different than his updated “Untold Finale Edition” of AMS 2; as opposed to his two versions of this film, which are virtually identical apart from the inclusion/exclusion of the Roosevelt subplot. Based solely on the descriptions of the two cuts, I wish there was a perfect cut of ASM 2 that was essentially the same as the “Untold Finale Edition,” but with the plane-crash prologue left intact. I strongly fear the film will lack its thematic setup without that scene.
