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.

This was truly a delight to watch. I am a big fan of the Amazing Spider-Man movie but I can say that this edit feels much closer to "full" story that Amazing Spider-Man was supposed to be. The added deleted scenes make for a much more cohesive story and adds so much to the characters. This is a must watch for any TASM fans out there. My only (constructive) criticism are some of the color correction differences between most of the deleted scenes and the rest of the movie (the first person scene being the prime example) and the green screen arm (which is barely present but still there). Also the CG lizard part lol. Other than that this is still very enjoyable to watch and increased my appreciation for the film. Well done.

This gave me a new appreciation for the film. The use of extra (in some cases, alternative) scenes really helped the movie, as did the cuts and moving things around. For example, Dr Ratha's fate, Connor's appeal for help, the clock tower scene, Ben's death (alternative version) all add real depth, not just more images. The variation in the visual quality of the added material was a bit distracting, and it is a pity that the greenscreen hand in the scene where Parker shadows Connor to the alley was not fixed, unlike the greenscreen arm in the appeal for help scene (the plastic-looking lizard scurrying around Connors' lair was also a bit jarring). I completely appreciate though that this is a labour of love, and provided for free, and that not everything is possible, and I stress that these few quibbles do not detract from the overall wonderful job done here. Thank you, editor!
