Brief Synopsis:
By cutting out scenes that are out of character and using alternant or deleted material form the movie I wanted to give this movie a different feel. I also rescored scenes with different music to recontextualize or emphasize different moments in the movie.
Intention:
So I really wanted to do an edit of this seeing how after No Way Home, Andrew Garfield was getting a lot of love. So I re-watched the movies to see what was it that made these movies seem not as loved back when they were fresh? I felt that Garfield was really quite good in several moments, but the movie as a whole felt too dark for Spider-Man and had several out of character moments in the film. It suffers from wanting to be a Christopher Nolen Batman movie.

- Cut Peter stealing badge.
- Used the Norman Osborn TV wall from Amazing 2.

The ending is the boldest and best part of this edit, and I really enjoy it. I'm not gonna spoil it here, you can see what it is in the Changes tab if you like.
The (mostly) removal of the revenge plotline kind of bothered me. It didn't feel fully committed to removing it, so we get this weird montage to replace it.
It's probably not gonna replace the original cut for me but it was a good breath of fresh air from a movie I'm kind of tired of watching lol

As a huge Spider-man fan, i love incarnations of the infamous webhead, and going into this edit, i wasn't sure what to expect. What i found was a cohesive story that eliminated many aspects of the original that fell flat, Peter is now portayed more as the outcast loner rather than the wisecracking teenager no one likes. The deleted scenes are done as well as they possibly can be given the source material, yet im on the fence when it came to the scene of Peter and Gwen having a picnic on a monument. I don;t think this scene really added anything the film needed.
For the most part, this edit was enjoyable, but there are edited scenes that did feel a little jaring, and in some instances broke the illusion of the film. This is only breif thankfully, and for the most part, the editing is quite commendable.
I'm in the category where i really like Garfield's interpretation of Spider-Man in the original edit. And while this edit won't replace it, it's most definately woth a watch!

Starting with the positives - Peter is much more likeable here. There are some excellent choices like cutting Peter's skateboarding montage, trimming him being extra mean while beating up the car thief, and cutting the revenge plotline. For most of this movie I could tell where small things were edited but it didn't impact the enjoyment too much. There was definitely a lot of work put into audio and video to cut out the revenge subplot and it's amazing that you got it working! Also the alternate uncle Ben death is fantastic.
There are some bigger problems though -
1. Whenever there was a deleted scene added it didn't quite match the color and contrast of the rest of the film, but it wasn't too bad most of the time. One particular deleted scene sadly does stand out and I think would have been better off not included because of the low quality (the doorman scene). I think the rest could be color corrected a bit more to try to get the contrast matching better.
2. You can tell several times where edits were made. I noticed quite a bit during the scenes where Peter is becoming Spider-Man, and I assume this was trying to cut around the revenge plotline. Biggest thing that stuck out was foley being incomplete in some shots. Another very noticeable set of cuts was when Peter goes to the internship. I know Lantern was trying to cut the subplot of him sneaking in, but it's still very obvious that he isn't supposed to be there which makes the cuts a little awkward.
3. One of my biggest complaints is some editing in the sewers. Everything surrounding Rajit finding Connors in the sewer, knocking out Peter with the sedative, and then getting eaten was jarring and rushed. Rajit's demise happened so quickly without being able to process it, and it was confusing what happened with Peter. This scene took me out of it quite a bit.
Overall I would recommend watching if you want an alternate take on the movie. It is a very commendable edit that accomplishes a lot, but wouldn't replace the original for me personally.

First, let me state that Spiderman has ALWAYS been one of my favorite comic characters, right up there with Superman. As a kid, I loved the 1977 TV series starring Nicholas Hammond as Spiderman. The Sam Raimi trilogy was perfection (even number 3), so when these two movies came out, I bought them on DVD and was totally disappointed. I shelved them with little interest in re-watching. Then, when "No Way Home" came out and Garfield appeared, I was surprised how much I liked him. I always intended to revisit the two films, but finally decided to do it watching this fanedit version instead.
First, I'm giving this all 10's because it works. Yes, I did catch a formerly deleted scene having a slight (very slight) degraded quality from the rest of the movie, but I'm not faulting the faneditor for that. The scene works and I'm glad it is put back into the film. The thing that makes this fanedit so much better than the original is that Garfield is now a far more likeable character and not some "punk jerk kid."
I'm still not a huge fan of this film, but at least now it's worth watching. My wife said, "I really like this," so that is VERY high praise. If you're a fan of "No Way Home," but never liked the Garfield movies and thought about revisiting them, then this is the way to do it.

From my perspective, the first TASM was always a good movie with its own interesting take on Spidey. It's grounded in terms of tone and story theme, but still manages to retains much aspects that makes Spidey, well..... Spidey. But admittedly, there's parts of the movie that are objectively bad which affects the overall pacing and narrative flow. For example: The revenge subplot. I always felt it was a good idea to have a subplot where Peter's personality and morals can be tested, but unfortunately what we got in the TC was just too overlong and bloated. Your version easily fixes the problem by removing it, making the the narrative more cohesive and seamless. You also did some cuts here and there to remove the edgier part where Peter acts like a jerk and out of character, that's a plus and makes Peter more relatable right from the start.
