SPIDER-MAN 3: EDITOR'S CUT (my review)
Post Body

Spider-Man...not quite 3? i guess to call it. Yeah, if they had released this cut, even I would probably dislike it. The first hour is the same, then whoever edited this must be a novice or have not cared, because this is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Even the new scenes have been chopped up. I liked the new footage, even if it isn't all of it. The sandcastle scene (even though they didn't release the full version) should have been in the movie. The changing of the Butler scene is 10/10 too.

There's still a ton of cut footage that needs to be released, which frustratingly won't be. Oh well. A hybrid of this, a few more deleted scenes, and the theatrical cut would be divine, but oh well. As someone who honestly loves the original cut, this was underwhelming. I'd give it a 6/10, mainly due to not releasing vital and important scenes, and the editing being poor. Here's a list of the changes:

  • Different background music during certain scenes.

  • The shot of Sandman diving into the sand pit is removed, and he just falls in.

  • At the beginning of the sewer/train fight, the shot of Sandman looking at the ceiling is cut by a second or two.

  • The scene where Peter is on the payphone and apologizes to Mr. Ditkovitch is removed, and replaced with a shot of Peter cautiously looking at the black box, and is shown after MJ arrives in the mansion elevator, but before the Twist scene. Instead, there is an alternate version of the scene where Ursula tells Peter that MJ called him, and he apologizes right then.

  • The line "Make him wish he were dead. First, we attack his heart!" is removed.

  • After the breakup scene on the bridge, the scenes with Harry and Peter at the cafe and the mansion fight is moved to later, and instead shows the scene in Peter's apartment before the fight. Right then, is when he wears the black suit under his clothes on the street and notices Eddie's fake photo on the Daily Bugle front page.

  • We finally see the full trailer footage of the black-suited Spider-Man footage in the daylight as he leaves the Daily Bugle. It's then that he puts the suit back in the black box, and goes to meet Harry in the coffee shop.

  • The mansion fight then happens, but not before an alternate beginning to the scene with different dialogue and takes, and it starts with Peter lying on the couch.

  • After that, the James Brown song montage starts, without the spinning newspaper.

  • After Sandman reforms himself, the sandcastle scene in the park is shown (though Venom's portion is edited out.)

  • The scene with Aunt May in Peter's apartment is removed entirely.

  • An alternate scene where Harry doesn't learn about his father getting killed by the glider, and instead looks at a broken picture frame containing a photo of him, Peter and MJ, to which he then cries.
