However not every change made to the film was exactly a positive one, and those would need to be discussed as well, while there arn't as many they are still noticeable.

This is the final change to the film, but it is one that is arguably the best change made to the film compared to the original. This scene is much better for Harry's character arc, as the film is still fundamentally about forgiveness, having Harry forgive Peter because he realized how good they were together, how good of a friend he was, and how much MJ needs them makes a lot more sense than then him just forgiving Peter when the butler told him he didn't do it, the Butler telling him for no given reason at that moment. So again like stated above the changes are very small for the most part, however this doesn't necessarily mean they are bad. The scene with the Butler telling Harry about what happened to his father is cut and replaced with a scene of him seeing a broken picture frame with him, Peter and Mary Jane, which he then proceeds to cry.Īs for the run time it has been confirmed by multiple sources that the Editors cut is actually 2 minutes shorter than the theatrical cut.

The scene where Aunt May talks to Peter in his apartment is cut. The spinning newspaper from the James Brown montage is removed.Īfter Sandman is reformed there is a scene where he sees his daughter again as a sandcastle, where she sees a hand print and embraces said castle, before her mother calls her to leave. There is an alternate beginning to the fight with Harry where Peter and Harry are quipping with each other before the fight starts. There is a scene of Peter being tempted by the black suit (which happens to be breathing) right before going out to in public to see the fake photo Eddie made.Īfter the confrontation at the Bugle we see new footage of the Black Suited Spider-Man swinging in the daytime, for Peter to then remove the suit and go meet Harry at the coffee shop. The order of the fight between Harry and Peter and the scene at the Daily Bugle are switched.

Peters apology to Mr Ditkovich is cut and replaced with a scene of Ursula telling Peter Mary Jane is on the phone, where Peter apologizes to her right there. I'll make sure to list it out in point form, as although the changes are very small there is a good amount of them.Ĭhristoper Young's original score of the film is completely restored, with many scenes which didn't have music in the original cut now having it, a new theme for Peter and MJ is included.Ī shot of Peter looking cautiously at the box that holds the black suit is added in the middle of the twist scene with Harry and Mary Jane. What scenes were cut, what scenes were added in? And what is the difference in run time between the two cuts. To start things off it's best to discuss what exactly is different about this film compared to its theatrical cut.
