Here is my changelist for my Spider-Man 3 edit. I felt the movie had some continuity errors when watching them back to back with part one and two (uncle ben's new killer lol) so I set out to make a version that feels more in line with those movies.
disclaimer: This is still a sam raimi movie. It has camp in it. It's a superhero movie. I like Sam Raimi camp. If you dont like any camp at all this edit is not for you lol.
EDIT: V2 is now available with slight tweaks
- Movie length cut from 2hrs 19mins to 1:58:47.
- Only seamless cuts. Show this to someone who hasn't seen the original and they won't be able to tell it isn't the original movie. ( I think )
- Removed the entire early Harry/Peter fight. I feel the original fight scene drags on and has very dated CGI. Although some shots were great in this sequence the pacing is the most important thing. There are also like 6 fight scenes in this movie so cutting this loses absolutely nothing of importance, because in my cut Harry is far more cunning and attacks Peter's heart from moment one.
- Peter now gets a call from the hospital to inform him of Harry's off-screen accident. This works great. All hail AI generated audio!
- M.J Breaks up with Peter voluntarily after the kiss, the breakup, losing her job and the general shitty behaviour or Peter.
- Harry does not force her in any way.
- Reduced the parts I found too campy, like when Betty tells Peter his shots are so good and he would love to shoot her sometime.
- Every mention of Uncle Ben is removed
- The first half about the movie is about Peter's relationship with MJ as Spiderman. The second half is about his breakup and his coping with the black suit. This helps the pacing a LOT.
- Removed other lines I found a bit too lame, like the 'tell me you love me' and the 'I thought it was the sun' lines.
- Altered the dialogue with Peter and M.J. on the phone. The first one now refers to his messed up proposal night, the second one refers to the bar dance.
- Speaking of the bar dance, Peter now doesnt harass the first employee he sees and doesnt do crazy acrobatics.
- Sandman returns as a sandcastle for his daughter. Removed the scene where he reforms after going out of the drainpipe. It's an ugly scene imo and the sandcastle scene already tells you he survived.
- Removed Venom mentioning Sandman's daughter, because he cannot know this about Sandman. Also re-edited the entire scene to not show Sandman turning his back on Venom. Why would anyone do that lol. I also removed the 'looking for ya' line and have this just an accident. Sandman wanted to suprise Spider-Man after all.
- No tell me you love me line. No I thought it was the sun line. No JJ bargaining for a camera.
- Reinserted the aunt may scene from the theatrical about fixing the relationship. I think it's a touching scene
- Removed part of the final monologue at the funeral to be less on the nose and a drag
- Removed the line where the photographer says something about a copy machine
- Removed the 'I'll get the money line'. Flint Marco sounds far more determined when he tells his daughter he will cure her. Whatever it takes. He robs a bank next. The audience is smart enough to know what he means.
- Restructured the ending to not mention Uncle Ben. Also edited out a shot where Tobey Maguire stands REALLY strangely while sandman fades away.
- Removed the ball catching sequence because Peter isnt supposed to know harry has powers yet
- Removed the I fell in love with someone else line to really give MJ the feeling of not knowing what she wants with Peter
- Removed the worst cgi shots in the final fight if it didnt break continuity
- The newscaster doesnt mention sandman which means Peter and the audience dont know what hes getting himself into. Sandman is hiding in plain sight waiting for the right moment.
- Removed female reporter
-Moves the scene where Peter confront brock in the bugle to before the Harry penthouse fight. Now it actually makes sense for Harry to say; what took you so long? Like really, what took him so long in the original cut lol.
- Made the joke between J.J and the little girl selling the camera actually work by removing cringe and making it all about J.J.
- Completely redid the call peter gets from the Police and changed it to a hospital call notifying Peter of Harry being in an accident.
- No more monologue at the end.
- No mention of any murder Flint Marco did.
- Removed Gwen from the funeral at the end because why is she there lol.
