Synopsis:

Spider-Man 3 Redemption – A true fanedit that creates a tighter movie with villains moved to supporting roles to allow the Peter/Harry story to reach its deserved finale. In this version Flint Marko is no longer the killer of Peter’s uncle, a lot of the humour has also been removed. Peter’s fall to the darkside is no longer brought about through guilt but through his ego and new found self importance. This version gives more focus to the journeys of Peter and Harry and how both find redemption for themselves.

Intentions:

My intention was to try and make an edit of Spider-Man 3 that would stand alongside the first 2 movies and complete the trilogy on the right note. In this version Flint Marko is no longer the killer of Peter’s uncle, a lot of the humour has also been removed. Peter’s fall to the darkside is no longer brought about through guilt but through his ego and new found self importance. This version gives more focus to the journeys of Peter and Harry and how both find redemption for themselves.

Change List:

After witnessing the beautifully crafted Spider-Man 2 we all waited with bated breath for the 2007 release of Spider-Man 3. The trailers and posters promised so much but on its release we saw a movie that just couldn’t live up to the hype. Studio & director couldn’t agree and production was fraught with scripting & scheduling problems. The final film felt rushed with too many villains and inter connecting stories all fighting for screen time. Fans felt cheated in the handling of characters & classic storylines. Now there is Spider-Man 3 Redemption. A true fan edit that finds a tighter movie with villains moved to supporting roles to allow the Peter/Harry story to reach its deserved finale. Cuts and Additions: - Added a 20-second disclaimer at the start of the edit, detailing the requirements to watch this fanedit. - Added a clicking sound when Harry turns off the TV, this was lost in the original edit. All other cuts from Badscooter's original edit remain: - Changed the opening scene, removed the Peter monologue, The Broadway musical & Harry taking the performance enhancers has been moved to later. - Sandman is no longer Uncle Ben’s killer. I have removed all elements of this from the movie. - Gwen Stacy is no longer a model. All references to this have been removed. It’s hard enough to believe the Peter is dating one model/actress without adding another to the story. Gwen remains now as an unintentional antagonist to Mary Jane. - Harry now helps Peter through his own free will; he no longer needs the butler to explain about Norman’s death. - The symbiote attaches itself to Peter when he is vulnerable after the disaster of his proposal to Mary Jane. His guilt over killing the man he thought responsible for Ben’s death no longer plays a part. - I have removed a lot of the humour which I felt didn’t work such as the Peter strut & JJ’s desk. - The Jazz club scene is also shorter, removing most of the dance. - The news reporter and all the scenes with kids have been trimmed or removed as I felt there was overkill in the original cut. - I have also cut lines of dialogue I felt unnecessary or cheesy. Some I couldn’t remove due to it causing problems with the tone of other lines' delivery or musical cues sounding out of place. Leaving these lines in shouldn’t cause too many problems.
