Spiderman 3 no sandman edition is a great example of what a fanedit is all about. the editor has successfully removed a character giving a total new feel the film and in doing so removed the terrible storyline that sandman was the actual killer to Peter Parker’s uncle. however the film has some faults though I wouldn’t blame the faneditor.

The problem I found was that Venom just wasn’t a strong enough character (compared to previous villains) to warrant Peter to ask for Harry’s help but we can only work with what we have. they were many other scenes included which brought disaprovel from fans the first time the most annoying of them being Peter emo faze but with a running length at just over 90mins any more cuts would result in a film barley touching the 80min mark

So my final summary would be that Spiderman 3 no sandman edition is definitely worth seeing and I’m sure will influence some faneditors to rework the film, though for me it’s not a edit that I would re-watch

overall 7/10

I was never much of a fan of the Spider-man movies after the first. To me, the second and third movies were lacking and seemed “phoned in” to me. I recieved all three commerical DVDs as a gift recently and watch ed them over a two-week period. I’ll have to admit, I did a lot of fast-forwarding on my BD player (especially during the third movie).

Having said that, I download this fanedit and was quite happy. I disagree with a lot of the reviews here in that a lot of the action was edited out. For me, number 3 was overkill in action and i got bored with it quick. This edit, for me, makes a much more focused movie (plot and character wise) and focuses in on Peter Parker’s decline and confusion. I liked the Sandman character in the theatrical release, but with that storyline, the Venom storyline, the Goblin storyline and then the whole MJ-Peter thing – there is just too much going on and no one area is really fleshed out.

I like this edit because it excises a lot of needless sub-lplot and action and makes for a much more tighter, well-paced movie.

I haven’t seen Spidey 3 since watching at the theatre and I just watched this edit last night. I did like it more than the original in that it didn’t drag on too long, though it did drag on a bit. After the opening fight with Peter and Harry, there is no action and all melodrama until the 55 minute mark.

The only improvement I can suggest is to just cut the whole amnesia thing so as to pick up the pace a bit. MJ would still have to betray Peter though, because that’s why Peter’s turned to the dark side in this version. But I wouldn’t show the part with MJ’s dinner and dance with Harry. Because that makes us not feel bad for MJ anymore. Best to just show her calling Harry and then MJ breaking up with Peter and Harry telling Peter that the other guy is indeed Harry himself. I really like the pie remark ;) so that has to stay. So with those modifications, it could get cut down to about an hour runtime with a much quicker pace without losing anything too important.

The editing, video and audio quality – all impeccible, as I watched the DVD version. Those are all 10/10

The story… 7/10, only because of the long lapse in action – I didn’t mind the disco/nightclub Peter scenes too much this time around, maybe because I knew to expect it and was able to just appreciate the impact of Peter becoming a prick.

Overall 8/10
