Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Spark of Life, The

The movie was not that Amazing but you made the movie better. You made the story better by cutting out Peters parents out, stupid Robot Rhino, some bad dialogue. What you took out that I like was Spidey singing and the music on his cell phone. m The Audio, Visual and edit was good. Great movie.

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.

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.

In general, I do think this edit is an improvement over the theatrical cut, but unfortunately I don't think it's enough to make this movie work. The characterization of Harry Osborn and Max Dillon is still a mess, and the broad, campy approach to both characters contrasts unfavorably with the naturalistic approach taken in scenes involving Gwen and Peter's romance. I was hoping this would be the edit that would really make me feel the impact of Gwen's death, but I still felt the moment was obfuscated by Harry's poor character work.

To be fair, none of this is the fault of the editor, I just wish more could have been done to remedy it. Additionally, I encountered a few audio abnormalities, including a severe issue where audio completely cut out for a few seconds.

The edit is presented as a 6GB 1080p file with stereo sound. It's adequate, and looks good considering the file size, but is still noticeably compressed. The lack of a surround sound option is also dissappointing, as I don't feel the edit has enough custom audio work to necessitate the downmix.

In short, if you already liked The Amazing Spider-Man 2, you will probably like this edit, but for detractors, I'm not sure if it goes far enough.
