This fanedit as others have pointed out is amazing to watch alongside Masirims017's Untold Extended Edition fanedit for Amazing Spider-man. This fanedit made a pretty bad movie to a pretty watchable and even fun watching experience. It cuts a lot of bad scenes, bad and/or cringy dialogue, adds a couple of deleted scenes, and it works great! Is it still the worst Spider-Man film yet? I definitely think so. However if you are planning to do a re-watch of all spidey films to prepare for No Way Home, to watch ASM2: this edit is the way to go 100%. Another incredible job as always Bobson! Keep up the good work!

EDIT: Also removing the parents plot line and the rhino "fight" at the end were excellent choices. Made the film concentrate more on Gwen, Harry and Max throughout the whole film. Green Goblin still sucks imo, He is way too rushed in this film. Gwen's death is extremely well paced and depressing af and the ending shot of Peter looking at the mask was also way better than the original ending. Absolutely fantastic in those regards!

Surprisingly this fan edit is a great companion piece to Masirimso17's fan edit The amazing spider-man: The untold extended edition where it uses all of the footage regarding peter's parents including footage from the amazing spider-man 2 and this one removes those but both make it all feel like a standalone and complete movie without any sequel-baiting or any ongoing subplots though I do share the same sentiment that peter's father should have been in the ending of this fan edit to give this movie a more hopeful and complete ending. One of the biggest and more obvious complaints that I have of this fan edit is the sound quality of the movie where it sometimes fades in and out a few times and even just goes on mute for a few seconds which noticeably happened around the rhino's scene at the beginning of the movie which I just assumed it was intentional at first in order to tone-down or even silence the rhino's over-the-top acting and screaming in the movie which to be fair was very annoying. Does this fan edit make it the best spider-man movie? No, but it's a simple, fun, and more focused movie despite the obvious signs of creative differences between the director who wanted a more grounded superhero drama and the producers who wanted to be the next MCU or another Sam Raimi movie.

This edit is a great sequel to the TASM 1 Untold Extended Edition by Masirimso17 as this has no mention of the father subplot and the previous grabs all those scenes and puts them in the first film. That being said this is a much better fanedit with all the added deleted scenes in that add more context to the film and can spare it much better without feeling bloated.
Not to mention, it feels much more connected and complete. I would have loved to see Peters father return from that deleted scene put in here as even though it is a bit of a shocker and may not make much sense, the talk he has with Peter really shows how it can help him return to be Spiderman after Gwen's death.
Only issue I have is already mentioned by previous reviewers in that there are a few audio issues but other than that, its a great edit that makes the film much better.

It was fantastic.
The main characters seem more fleshed out with the added scenes, and the trimms and cuts are well executed (one exception already mentioned in previous reviews). Peter and Harry's relationship was very natural and Harry's turn by the end was truly tragic.
That new ending was great and now the movie kind gives this version of Spidey a different motto to the character, Hold on to Hope, become hope.
Absolutely my go to version from now on.

An amazing edit, turning an okay film to wonderful!
Bobson trimmed, added, moved around and replaced many scenes and shots, yet the result flows smoothly. I felt that most trims were definitely justified, and that they improved both the narrative and Peter's likeability. I especially appreciated how removing the Shared Universe buildup (Sinister Six stuff, Peter's parents) streamlines the plot, how gently trimming some of Peter's scenes make him less whiny and temper-tantrum-y, but rather more relatable, and how cutting or replacing silly things (tooth gap, ringtone) can improve the general tone of the film.
While most of the film is technically amazing (as generally always with Bobson's edits), there were two technical issues that surprised me. The first is a total audio mute, as dingo mentioned in their review, that takes place at the 57th minute mark (between 57:04-08). I thought I was crazy, but it is really there. I hope it will be quickly corrected.
The second issue is a slightly underwhelming audio transition at 1:12:13 - from really tense to strangely calm. I know it is a result of trimming some Ravencroft scenes, but the result felt a bit odd to me.

All in all - this is a fantastic and impressive edit, and definitely makes this film watchable.
