Amazing Spider-Man, The: The Untold Extended Edition

The original amazing spider-man was a polarizing experience for me because while it wasn't a bad movie but it was too similar to sam raimi's spider-man with a lot of plot holes and sequel-baiting but this fan edit made it feel like not just a complete and whole movie to the point that it felt like a standalone movie but also one of my favorite spider-man movies so I was very satisfied with this movie. The minor complaint is that you could obviously tell which scenes were deleted scenes and which were from the sequel with peter parker's hairstyle and room changes to be specific but the movie is so engaging that I honestly didn't really care about it.

I've always disliked the parents/Roosevelt storyline from the ASM films, but having it included like this in the first movie makes a bit more sense. It helps add to the origin story feeling and combined with the deleted scenes gives new depth to Dr. Connors. If you're watching the ASM Untold movies back-to-back, having the Roosevelt story mostly contained in this movie benefits the watching experience as a whole, and especially the second movie. Great job!

Amazing! Pun intended; simply amazing! Adding the parent storyline from the 2nd movie flushed out this movie so much! So much that I didnt even realize that was the change you made. It fit so well; there are a few moments that I felt the "edit" in the transitions but it wasn't anything that took me out or ruined the viewing. I enjoyed this but do wish there was a way to get it closer to its original runtime.

This is an amazing edit, pun intended! Working with some flawed movies, the editor created the best version of this movie I can imagine. All of the characters motivations seemed a lot more clear, and it really frees up the sequel to focus on the newly introduced characters. This is easily my favorite edit that I've seen, and it is how I choose to remember these movies!

Let's hope the studio decides it's time for us to see the 3rd film.

Good edit that manages to make the original film feel more grand.

Definitely would like to have seen some scenes more intricately edited, such as cutting certain shots earlier or even removing some dialogue to make the film more tightly paced. I'm not a fan of the Lizard entering the bathroom scene, it felt rather corny with the screaming and felt out of place..

Changing up the "becoming spider-man" montage beyond incorporating the teaser sequence would be really neat to see, though yes i know this is meant to be an extended edit rather than an alternate edit. Speaking of that teaser sequence, perhaps a different soundtrack would work better? The teaser soundtrack for that scene doesn't flow well with James Horner's score, it felt rather jarring.

I did enjoy the edit overall, and would recommend it.
