This is a random idea I had while watching the surprisingly cheesy Spider-Man 3… what if I cut together all three spidey flicks to make a little narrative that might as well fit together somehow…

what say you to this idea?

It is similar to the LOTR Abridged cut by wmgan, but LOTR is a single film in a way, Spider-Man could be difficult to abridge...

Yes. Spider-Man was shot in 1.85:1, whereas Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 are 2.40:1. I am toying with a Spider-Man 3 edit, although it is a bit daunting as it would be my first feature-length edit to even approach. I've done some test work on a couple of sequences, and there are some cool things, but I'm actually finding the film is growing on me as I see it more. I already liked it overall when I first saw it, although I didn't like it as much as the first two, but some things I questioned at first are making more sense now, and things like the structure and pacing are sinking in and also making more sense. Could it have been better had they not tried to cram so much into it? Definitely. But within the context of having it all in there, I think they did a pretty good job with it. (Upon listening to the commentaries, the biggest thing I wish they had been able to do--after getting to give all of the different story elements their due in separate films--is having the film set in winter. That could've been really cool.)

that's right 1.85:1! I was thinking if I should either crop SM1 or crop SM2 and 3... SM1 being 1.85 I think will have to get cropped to 2.35:1.

why the hell would they film the rest of the films in 2.40:1 if the first was 1.85:1!? It doesn't make sense I say!
