Spider-Man 2.2

This was my first time seeing the Director's Cut (2.1) of Spider-Man 2, a film I haven't seen in years and only have seen through the internet's own interpretation. I have to say that it still very much holds up, and Bobson Dugnutt's 2.2 edit make it just the icing of the cake. By replacing certain scenes from its 2.1 release with it theatrical release, the flow of the film is tighter and doesn't overstay their welcome. This is the best way to view this film, so props to him!

So this edit, Spider-Man 2.2 by the mythical Bobson Dugnutt is 'the definitive edition' of the movie. It gets as Spectacular as it can get. 'Nuff said.

By addressing just those two moments, the already-fantastic extended edition is perfected even further. This'll be my go-to version from now on. Highly recommend this fanedit.

With Spider-man 2.2 Bobson takes an already superior cut of a film but restores the little from the theatrical cut that wasn't broken to begin with, which for most is the shorter exchange in the elevator. When watching the retail copy, I used to have to decide which version I was in the mood for. This cut eliminates that need.

If I have one minor detail I don't like from 2.1 it's the sequence in the train fight where Spider-man gets hit by a train travelling in the opposite direction, he just shrugs it off and continues swinging, that part always seemed a bit too cartoony for me, but I don't see any other complaints, and maybe I shouldn't be looking for plausibility in a film that during many other moments doesn't obey the rules of physics either.

Anyway as I said, this is the perfect compromise between the two cuts so if you are a fan of the Raimi trilogy, it's a must have for your collection.

I grew up watching both the theatrical cut and 2.1, but I always preferred 2.1 because of the added JJ scenes. About a year ago I revisited 2.1 with my dad and we both agreed the elevator sequence was far better in the theatrical version. This edit addresses that problem, creating the definitive version of Spider-Man 2! My only issue with this edit is a slightly noticeable jump cut before the elevator scene.
