Spider-Man 3 got fixed? 

(You can watch the editors cut on Amazon prime!) 7:40 I missed pointing this out in the video but the editors cut has this great moment of peter laying on Harry’s couch as a taunt to Harry. Because that’s where he put his fathers body. What a prick!

peter lying on the couch is him mimicking norman being dead on the couch just like he left him in the first movie

I think you missed something when peter was lying on the couch. Peter was lying in the same place Harry's father died. I love this video btw

I love that they cut that butler thing. Mainly cuz it took the butler 3 movies to tell Harry!? Wtf?! Harry definitely woulda fired his ass. Lol

8:00 “strawberries” in the theatrical Peter’s eyes are red like he was crying. In the recut, they took the red out and make the rim of his eyes dark instead.

Damn that scene of Harry seeing the pic of him, Peter and MJ Now that's a good ass scene

It never sucked in the first place

8:56 The black suit in the box moves up and down for a short time.

I think we could still get a Spider-Man 3.1 extended cut

Always good to hear the Sandman theme. I’ll have to check out the editors cut, you went and peaked my curiosity.

You can’t take out that aunt may scene. Peter needs may and may is the reason Peter is such a good person.

Well, i still prefer some scenes in theatrical, but it's a shame that scene where Harry looks at picture of Peter and MJ is cut. I always thought it was better

Very interesting about this, also, WHY was that scene between Penny and Flint Marko cut?!? THAT was a very emotional and beautiful scene.

As a big SM3 fan, i must say that i love both versions since the editors cut had to come out years after the one we are used to. Please do more videos of this kind with other films too

I’m so glad to know that more people are finding out about and watching the Editor’s Cut!

This is why I like editing improv, sometimes I’ve found that something made up at the start works best at the end and vise-versa.

Wow! I bought this Blu-ray set when it came out to replace the previous set that had no special features; I had no Idea that it had a re-edited version of Spider-Man 3 on it! Thank you for your video - these do seem like real improvements in providing motivation and character arcs. I will have to watch this in context to evaluate soon! But if only there was a cut that removed the 'Sandman killed Uncle Ben' MacGuffin...

Great video. I'm one of the biggest fans of Spider-Man 3 ever, but I've been watching the EC for the past 7 years. Even though it's an Editor's Cut, some people still call it 3.1 or Raimi Cut.

Giant miss-step not using the Editor's cut for the theater re-release, so many people I know went to laugh at the movie, Sony had the opportunity to nip it in the bud forever.

Hey I just love how you pointed out how a simple rearrangement of where the Black Suit James Brown dance was, led to a "slow descent into villainy" portrayal. Great stuff mate!

tobeys spider man will always be nostalgia to me just cause of the fact its just so damn good and the tie in games there so good as well and the coloring in the movies are so great as well like look at the poster its sooooo good the red coloring it being soft and unique and god i wish we got more

Spider-man 3 doesn’t suck. It’s just disappointing compared to the first two

9:00 This is by far the funniest anything in regards to the Raimi Spider-Man universe, memes included. Could not stop laughing, what a fucking cut.

Spider man 3 doesn't need to be fixed, it's a perfect masterpiece as it is ❤️💜

When I first showed my girlfriend this movie. I showed her the editors cut. She told me it might be her favorite of the three. I think this movie is flawed but misunderstood. The editors cut is definitely a nice little bandaid.

Re watched all the og Spiderman films with Editor's Cut in place of theatrical, and honestly blew me away how much of a difference there was. It was actually enjoyable!!! Thank you for bringing my attention to it!!!

I watched the editors a while back but i didn't catch all the musical score differences and all those other minor changes. Sick video!

This needs to be available on DVD to replace the original in my collection. Also, they need to do this with Madame Web. I bet there's a good movie on the cutting room floor.

Something u missed that the editors cut that makes the black suit even more menacing is that it talks to Peter saying "come to us" and then makes a moan sound. I'm not kidding it's very hard to hear but it's there. But those two things makes the suit so much creepier and menacing. It's too bad we couldn't see Sam Ramis take on carnage

Spider-Man 3 doesn't need to be fixed, it was perfect the way it was

Unfortunately the MCU is FLOODED with unnecessary jokes such as drax standing still and many many other garbage humor that ruins the tension, Spiderman 3 is tiers greater than most "successful" MCU movies just because it knows how to pull of natural tension. Spiderman 3 never sucked the audience was just spoiled.

Nahh the buttler scene makes more sense because he didn't know spiderman was peter, he realised maybe when he saw them fighting and wanted harry go help him

Dude, you explained this so well. I was aware of some of the major differences between cuts without actually watching the editor's version in full, but some of these I hate I didn't know sooner. I wasn't aware of the shift in motifs which I'm a huge sucker for. Cutting the Aunt May and Butler scenes initially didn't sit right with me, but you completely changed my mind when you put it into the big picture. Outstanding work man

I’ve never seen the editors cut so this is just so sick.

Ok no way that awkward cut to the cops saying “where’d he go?” is better

Broh the obviousness of the dramatic flourishes is the charm of sm3 and the rain I trilogy generally

This is a great analysis. I gotta admit, I originally didn't plan on watching it the whole way through because I thought that it was going to be boring. But you made a really interesting comparision!

actually the original story is Sandman and the new goblin if that happens there will be Spider-Man 4!

making the bg music is extremly hard, when it's easy to have no and it can get boring

It never sucked.

9:01 the unexpected ways happen to line up really well with earlier scripts, as well as the novelization.

My idea for a great cut is to scrap the scenes with Eddie brock, and instead use Harry as Venom. Basically, when Peter goes and nearly kills Harry, he suddenly realizes how far the suit has messed him up, and right then he pulls it off with all his might, where it seeks out the rage-filled Harry lying next to him. Then the movie plays on as normal, except obviously Harry does not help Peter in the final battle. When Peter blows up the suit he tries to rescue Harry from the blast, but he ends up fatally wounded. If you remember, a main theme of the movie was forgiveness, and so in my version, Harry's death shows Peter that he has to let go of anger and forgive Sandman, or he will end up like Harry. For this reason, Peter literally allows Sandman to go, knowing he would otherwise kill him (as he already attempted). This actually makes the ending make sense and ties it all together, which is a lot better than having three detached villains in the movie. I believe this version could be made, but you'd have to edit the suit transferring scene a bit to swap locations and use Harry's face.

The photo of Harry, Peter, and MJ showing a crack between Harry and Peter is such a nice touch that says everything we need to know without any words. Peter lies on the couch when confronting Harry because that's where he put Norman's dead body down in the first movie, so he was taunting Harry there.

i kinda think the editors cut music changes are boring and poorly written it also cut a bunch of scenes which are kinda necessary/good (just because a scene is really campy doesnt mean its bad and needs to be cut) editors cut is not better than original movie, just different

I never thought Spider-Man 3 was a bad movie.

A perfect cut for me is: Theatrical order of events - it may be a slower pace but i feel like everything makes more sense in this version (aside from Peter’s jacket changing to a shirt and changing back during the dance scene) All new scenes in the editors cut - every scene that is new in the editors cut that’s not a alternate version of something I like No deleted scenes - any scene the editors cut takes out is a bad decision, especially the Aunt May scene, though the alternate jumpscare in Peter’s room is good Alternate Harry looking at photo scene - it’s a much better scene then the butler scene Theatercial score - the score for the original movie, particularly the last scene is perfect as it ends in a sad tone with Peter and MJ dancing to their theme throughout the trilogy but Young’s score in my opinion ruins the ending in the editors cut, though I did like Christopher young’s score in Spider-Man 3 better then Elfmans in 1 and 2, it’s one of the best scores in superhero movie history

I saw Spiderman 3 first as a child and I just enjoyed it in its purest form as much as I did the first two. The original release was perfect for me and I still see it that way as a 25 year old now.

While I love spiderman 3, this video shows me what could’ve been even greater. Cool! Subscribed 😎

I rewatched Spiderman 3 last year, and honestly it wasnt as bad as i remember. When i was younger, i had trouble following everything and it felt like it was all over the place, but the rewatch was easy to follow

Dang boy, what do you have against the elderly?

How do I watch this version

I don't remember that sandman scene at the end at all, was that actually in the theatrical release? I don't remember it

You lost me with saying Spider-man 3 sucks.

Good man Rendan. You deserve to be waaay bigger.

Does the editor cut do anything about Harry waiting on Peter (who is having a heart to heart with sandman maybe a minute or two) as he lays dying. That always seemed awkward didn't really follow human logic lol

This was a great breakdown. Good job. Describes the art of editing perfectly. Its super weird they described this version as “the editors cut”. You don’t see that very often. I wonder if Raimi refused the offer to do an alternate version since he’s sad how original version ended up. . I remember there being so many deleted scenes from this movie. The original ending had Gwen kidnapped and not MJ which is why the trailer has MJ showing up to Harry’s delivering a speech about “Everything we were will mean nothing”. In reshoots they changed it to Mj getting kidnapped by Venom. Sandman and venom teaming up was also much different, after the Penny sandcastle scene, that’s when Eddie approaches. Then there’s also the alternate death scene of Venom where the suit ends up “consuming” Eddie literally to the point where when the Symbiote is destroyed Eddie’s skull is left behind and his bone structure & teeth have changed to the Venom face. You can actually see this on Sony’s stock footage web site. They sell stock footage from all sorts of movies and a few of them come from Spider-Man 3. An entire subplot was cut with Sandman meeting with this doctor that can cure Penny. Sony sells stock footage of a few shots from this set like sand pouring out of a vent.

God damn I love a good Raimi Spiderman video

Sounds great!....where can we watch it?

It was bad when it came out, but kids grew up and laughed at how funny and goofy it is with the memes

To save money, a different film score composer was used for SM3 than in the first 2 movies, and it definitely impacted SM3 for the worse. Wish they'd kept Danny Elfman for the whole trilogy. Man is a legend. Right up there with Hans Zimmer and John Williams in my opinion.

Will there ever be a physical release of this?

Spider-Man 3 is the only Spidy film I have saved to my phone...😂

Great, so where do I watch this version?

I love spider man 3. Always have, always will. This edit might make me love it even more

How can i watch the editors cut😢

And in one version venom dissolved Eddie and he was just a skeleton in the final fight.

Where can we find this cut ?

need an editor's cut of the entire mcu now lol

11:32: Nobody tell Bernard they cut this scene. I've watched the bloopers from the DVD extras and that thing took them like 100 takes because he kept forgetting his lines 😂

Spider-Man 3 never sucked.

Some of the music changes work, some don’t.

So whats changed?? Just the music? Or was the movie recut as well for pacing and a better story?

man, now i gotta go watch the editor's cut.

Where can one watch the editors cut?

Spider-Man 3 is a masterpiece. In the first like 25 minutes it's a bit shaky, has some bad looking scenes, but once Peter sees his reflection, wearing black suit, and you hear that black suit theme...That hits hard. And then the movie just gets better and better. By the end it's still the best Spidey movie ever.

Actually watch the hitop cut it combines both the OG and editors cut. That is the best version. Anyone who wants it I can send it here.

I just hate how most criticism of the movie devolves into "worst venom/too many characters" and thats it. This is much better when you go into detail

This is a great video, good work mate

960th like! but let’s go my favorite RU-vidr posted

Randomly seeing a mountain range I drive by everyday in a yt video about spiderman was weirdddd.

6:37 So I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to editing, but having Marko exit the frame at the bottom, and then hard cutting to him moving into the next one from the right feels clunky as hell, because our mind want to follow the movement downwards and not sideways. The brief moment with the cops refreshes our perspective and means we go into the scene of him tumbling downwards with no expectation of where the movement should be going from/too. I assume it's the Kuleshov effect in action?

I’ve always felt it should have been two movies: Part 1 focuses more on Harry’s obsession with revenge. Then the film ends with Eddie becoming Venom. Part 2 only focuses on Spider-Man vs Venom. Also, I think Sandman should have been completely omitted.

I stopped the video at 0:02 , the answer is no, it never did. Next

We still deserve a 3.1 extended cut

I thought this was gonna be about the Spider-Man 3 Video Game :(

Wish we got the alternate Eddie Brock venom death

In certain parts of the video I thought he’d bring up some sponsor but no, LOL

great now you are going to make me watch 2 movies tonight.

13:24 Weren't they able to get Toby back for the photo??? Like what the fuck??? That's not Peter!

Where'd he go?? IDK maybe in the giant hole. 😂

Lol I thought the video was about the Spiderman 3 game 😅

The Aunt May scene should’ve stayed and the butler scene should’ve stayed but just sequenced differently with better acting and, music maybe

i like the theatrical sound better but i think that's just nostalgia talking for me. Interesting video, thanks

Still better than the Tom Holland garbage

i cant find it in uk

UNDERRATED THIS VIDEO WAS GOATED 🔥

No, I prefer the butler and aunt may’s scenes being there.

Sam Raimi dealt with so much bullshit with Spider-Man 3 and 4

Spider-Man 3 never sucked. Only morons think it's a bad movie. The Editor's Cut is superior to the theatrical cut but that doesn't mean the original is bad.

i don't believe that spider-man 3 has a good and bad version to me i know the majotiity don't like spider-man 3 at all think it's a bad disappointing movie but only the miniroty love spider-man 3 think it's a good movie i have to be honest i love oringial version of spider-man 3 it's a great underrated movie to me 9 out of 10 for me in my honest unpopular opinion and the dance part is not bad to me that's my favorite scene it's a great scene to me i
