The Amazing Spider-Man: A Spence Edit (Released) — Page 2

I just have to comment on the "soap opera" aspects of the films. That kind of defines Spider-Man. He's always been different than other superheroes. While Thor is out fighting Loki and the Fantastic Four is taking a spin in their hover car fighting gods, Spider-Man has to worry about making the rent and taking care of his elderly aunt May. He has to worry about his girlfriend and other mundane problems. In other words: he's US. Spider-Man is not meant to be a video game where he just kicks ass and takes names. Spider-Man is the best comic hero precisely because his life reflects his readers while being a wish-fulfilment fantasy. I think the films, especially the second one, have perfectly captured Spider-Man.

i agree that that is what spider-man is meant to be like, but when it's so poorly conceived and presented (like almost everything about spider-man 1) that it really does become mundane, then it isnt worth keeping for the edit.

again, this is just my opinion, as i'm not really a fan of the original film.

Spider-Man 1 wasn't perfect but I found it enjoyable. Raimi is very idiosyncratic as a filmmaker. It's not going to hurt it to be tightened up a bit, especially concerning the villain (although I'm alarmed at the tendency of most fan edits here to want to completely de-humorize everything. Why do we geeks want every thing so deadly serious?). They were still finding their way. But Spider-Man 2 is a masterpiece. It nailed Spider-Man almost perfectly. When I read complaints about Spider-Man 2 being too Soap Opera-ish, I have to wonder at the commentator's familiarity with Spider-Man. Spider-Man is not supposed to be a pure action movie.

I'll download it if we get a cover then I'll give you some feedback, if we don't get a cover I'll make one myself but casualimp did look pretty good

Can we have some more info about the edit, is it NTSC or PAL and so on, basically more info

I'l try to throw a cover together later

i very much enjoyed spider-man 2. i have no plans on re-editing it, the only improvement i can see is that it was just a tad long at the beginning.

Something just came to mind that I hated from the first movie.

Did you by any chance cut the closeup before the glider impales Norman with him saying "Oh." ? The moment always seemed to be too much of a wink to the audience that it took me out of the movie.

Darksaber- that is tight.

I'm diggin that, Kracker. That pumpkin bomb as the dvd art is a riot.

Why dont' I have a printer that I can print out these cool covers with? I'd burn off another copy of ASM just to use both Kracker and darksaber's covers. ^_^
